Vacation, not so relaxing?

I can't remember the last vacation I took, wait it was to the Bahamas with my now wife in 04'. The past four days were spent in Fort Pierce with my Step-Father Kevin. The idea was boating, fishing, clamming, and doing nothing in between. I was at this same location when I was 14 with my Dad and that side of the family but I forgot how fast the currents rip through the inlet at tide change, that's kind of an irrelevant side note. I also forgot how much work is involved for this kind of get away like; loading the boat, packing for the vacation, driving down to the spot, docking the boat,and unpacking. I'm walking away with these realizations:

• I was raised in the ocean fishing and diving with my Dad and there is a method to how we did things making the day smooth, plan our dive and dive our plan. Kevin has the play it by ear we'll fish wherever, inshore and offshore but preferably the latter which is cool just different.
• Without prior proper planning you run into poor performance.
• I have more fun these days as a fisher of men than a fisher of fish.
• A dock full of partying fishermen scatter when you read your Bible at sunset 60' away from them.
• I was once that partying fishermen that scattered when I saw somebody reading the Bible.
• I miss the wide open ocean.
• I miss the days of fishing in the wide open ocean with my Dad
• I'm reminded of the phrase;" lead, follow, or get out of the way"
• My Step-Father and I are two totally different people

All in all I had a good time. We caught some small fish and 3 shark but I would loved to set the hook on a 20lbs King Fish. Aah the ones that we missed in the ocean and on the dock will be caught by some body else.....hopefully.
