August 2022 Expedition Update—Deep-Sea Fishing

We just Googled it: the cost of deep-sea fishing out of Miami can run as much $225 per hour. And there are minimums, generally four hours. So that’s what? US$900/900€/£760 for half a day. Holy mackerel! Well, we let our crew members try their luck at no additional cost. And take a look: yesterday, Bay, one of our August students, reeled in two “holy mackerel(s).” We don’t know if his parents would be impressed, but Bay was lovin’ it! Maybe we should add fishing to our list of QBE expedition perks...
