Still Making Waves

Gorrie Regan at 57 Years – Still Making Waves.

Another Gorrie-Regan fishing trip is in the record books. For those new to the show, we have taken a company fishing trip off Dauphin Island for as long as I can remember. This year, the weather was ideal with calm seas and temperatures in the low 80’s. Perfect for catching fish and a few rays to usher in the summer. It was a banner harvest as we caught hundreds of pounds of amberjack, snapper, trigger fish and the occasional King Mackerel.

Our captain once again was Skipper Thiery, part of the Thiery family that is famous around the area as the apex captains in those waters. We have known Skipper for years as he was once the budding deck hand and crew aboard his father’s boat. He is now a seasoned captain in his own right and has two kids of his own. Seeing him each year is a true blessing as not only do I know we will catch fish, but it has been a pleasure to watch him grow into the fine Godly man that he is today.

Even those in the Gorrie Regan family who do not choose to join in the fishing have a blast on this trip. Whether it’s the shrimp boil or the karaoke there is always something fun going on. For me, my favorite part is to see all of our folks being together and enjoying one another’s company. As spread out as we are, this is a great venue for people who work together in service to our customers to actually take some time and get to know each other on a far more personal level. The trip is awesome and I am already looking forward to next year!
