I am a meat eater. I like running. I wear pants. My parents grew up in alaska. I work as a programmer.
Speaker 2
I like the ocean. I am great at fishing, so I eat a lot of fish. I listen to a lot of sublime on the beach near my condo. During the day I work at doctors office as a doctor's assistant.
Speaker 1
I run. I enjoy the ocean.  My parents are from Alaska. My grandpa used to hunt caribou in Alaska. I am a computer programmer at a teach firm.
Speaker 2
I fish. I live near an ocean. I'm an assistant at a doctor's office. I have a fishing boat and a condo near the beach.
Speaker 1
What's up? I just got in from a run..
Speaker 2
Not too much just got back from fishing/.
Speaker 1
Is it spring yet where you live?
Speaker 2
It is, perfect weather for fishing. Do you enjoy the ocean?
Speaker 1
I do. My parents are from alaska, so I've seen the ocean from way up north.
Speaker 2
Oh alaska is nice, great fish there.
Speaker 1
Great fishing and hunting too. Grandpa used to hunt caribou.
Speaker 2
Nice, what do you do for work?
Speaker 1
I'm a computer programmer at a tech firm. How about you?
Speaker 2
I'm an assistant at a doctors office! But my true passion is fishing.
Speaker 1
Do you have a fishing boat?
Speaker 2
I do and a condo near the beach, I'm a lucky guy.

Speaker 1
I enjoy fishing in Alaska
Speaker 2
Is that your favorite spot? What is the biggest you have caught? 
Speaker 1
Yes, it's so peaceful. I have caught a pretty big salmon. There's nothing like camping under the Northern lights, cooking a fish you just caught over a fire.
Speaker 2
That sounds so nice. I just cleaned my fishing boat. 
Speaker 1
Ooh, do you have a trip planned soon or was this just a regular cleaning?
Speaker 2
Just my version of spring cleaning! But I would love to plan a trip soon 
Speaker 1
That's great. Maybe we can go fishing together and trade stories. I love being out on the water. I'm a pretty good cook, too. haha
Speaker 2
What is your favorite meal to cook? I make a great calzone
Speaker 1
Calzones are delicious! I love them with spinach and mushrooms. Hmm. My favorite meal would probably be soup. I love making soup. You can put anything in it and play around. That's also how I use up a lot of my leftovers. haha
Speaker 2
That's good. I should use that trick. I hate throwing away leftovers but I get so sick of them so fast.
Speaker 1
I hear ya. I can only eat the same thing so many times in a row. Seriously, though, just throw things in a soup! My dad would call it throw-together soup. haha Start with stock or bullion and water, pick some noodles, veggies, a meat, then add sauces/cheese/seasonings until you are happy.  
Speaker 2
That's a great idea. I always want to try a baked potato soup. Now you're making me hungry.

Speaker 1
Where is your favorite place to go with your boat?
Speaker 2
Since I live close to the ocean, I like to just sail out far and be by myself. How often do you go fishing?
Speaker 1
I used to go fishing every weekend. Now that my son is a little bit older though, he doesn't like fishing. Ever since he made the connection that "chicken" is not the name of two different things, an animal and a food, and we simply eat chicken... he has unfortunately had this realization about other things, such as fish, and therefore fishing always causes tantrums unless we return the fish to the ocean and don't plan on eating it. Do you have any family that will sail with you sometimes? I agree, it's definitely nice to go out far and be alone to your thoughts every now and then!
Speaker 2
Sorry to hear that. If I caught a fish I'd want to eat it. Anyway, I really should plan a trip to Alaska soon. Maybe even go there in my boat.
Speaker 1
Would you go alone? You're always welcome to visit! I can get our guest room ready, and if others would come with you let me know and I'm sure we could make some space if you'd like.
Speaker 2
I'd love to stay with you. Since I've always wanted to try baked potato soup, maybe I'd get a chance to try some of yours.
Speaker 1
That would be awesome! I could definitely cook some up. My wife and son would be so excited to have company. Other than my parents, we usually don't have anyone over.
Speaker 2
I won't take up too much space since it'll just be me. I'm single, so won't have a partner to bring with me.
Speaker 1
Your company is more than enough! So, what do you like to do besides fishing and sailing? We can definitely sneak around my son and hit the water, but it might be nice to include him in something to if you don't mind kids.
Speaker 2
I don't mind kids. I want to have some of my own in the future. If he's afraid of fishing, I do own an underwater camera that would allow us to take photos underwater.
Speaker 1
Oh, he would love that! It would probably remind him of the Finding Nemo ride at disneyland. We took him there for his birthday. That was his favorite ride! He likes water and boats, and he used to love fishing, but things change as they get older, what can I say?
Speaker 2
Yeah, everyone's tastes change as they get older. He still loves the water though, right?

Speaker 1
My son actually asked to go fishing this weekend.
Speaker 2
Really? That's quite nice. Where do you take him fishing?
Speaker 1
At the lake I usually go to when I was little. I think it would be a fun experience! Also you have done fishing before right, since you have a fishing boat?
Speaker 2
A very fun experience that will allow you two to bond. Yes, I have done fishing before but my fishing boat got wrecked one year ago and I decided to get rid of it.
Speaker 1
Oh no! Are you going to get a new one? 
Speaker 2
Maybe at the end of this year I will. Am also planning a fishing trip to Africa next year.
Speaker 1
Oh why Africa? I have never been to Africa before, so I have completely no idea how it's like especially with the animals and fish there. Is there any interesting tropical fish there? 
Speaker 2
I feel like Africa will be a new challenging experience for me. I have never been to Africa too but based on what I heard and seen on tv there are vast species of tropical fish in Africa.
Speaker 1
Yeah it will definitely be an exciting experience! Although a harsh one for sure, definitely bring plenty bug repellents and sun screen to be prepared of all these starving mosquitos and the sharp sunlight.

Speaker 1
Did you catch a lot of fish on your trip?
Speaker 2
I did not catch a lot of fish but I did catch a big tuna.
Speaker 1
Thats awesome! Was it a blue fin tuna or yellow?
Speaker 2
I went to Prince Edward Island over the weekend and caught the biggest blue fin tuna I have ever seen!
Speaker 1
Too cool! Ive never caught a tuna before, i would really enjoy that, did it put up much of a fight?
Speaker 2
It was a heavy rod and reel and I had tons of back up but yes it fought hard. When we finally weighed it it was just over 700 pounds.
Speaker 1
Thats a behemoth of a tuna, good thing you had help! The largest fish i caught was a 55 pound catfish and it was hard to bring in.
Speaker 2
I am just glad I was on a commercial fishing boat or it never would have happened. My friend Kevin owns it and was awesome to invite me to tag along for the day. Have you ever been on one?
Speaker 1
Yeah that makes sense and that is cool of him to invite you along. I have never been on a commercial fishing boat, but would enjoy that one day.
Speaker 2
We talked about my coming out for another trip there this next year. You should come along. 
Speaker 1
I love the ocean and fishing so that would be pretty amazing. I would have to find something for my son to do, he doesnt like fishing, any suggestions?
Speaker 2
There is That Fun Place in Charlottetown that is not that far away if your better half would rather do that than join us on the water. If not there is also a National Park there to explore.
