FrameRate Fishes Fiercely With Florida Friends

A bit off topic, but we want everyone to know that when we are not writing great software, we are enjoying our friends company. We spent a wonderful Saturday deep-sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico with friends from Emerald Communications and Encore Broadcast Sales, a Tampa Bay-area dealer. With us on board the Daisy Mae were, from left to right, Marcus Cisneros (FrameRate), Doug (Encore), Michael Harvey, Mark Robison (Emerald), James Harvey (FrameRate), and Susan (Encore).

Fishing was great! We hooked nine tuna and landed three. Caught one shark and released it unharmed. Lots of grouper, too. Our guide was Captain Dan Hood of the Daisy Mae Fishing Company. Check out their web site!
