Hemingways Resort

marlin So there you are, the Great White Hunter…except that you're fishing.

You are in Africa, Kenya to be exact, living out your Hemingwayesque fantasy. Which is appropriate because you are staying at the Hemingways Resort at Watamu in Kenya. The resort is one of East Africa's best known and most popular big game fishing destinations.

As your skin tans beneath a blazing sun, you will be locked into your fishing chair when the striped marlin first hits. The monster slams your line, knocking the margarita from your fist. The fishing line is so taut, it is like an Ibanez string tuned to the key of D. Your arms burn. You are grasping the pole harder than you've grasped anything in ten years. Nothing you've ever done in the office could have prepared you for this. The fish breaches and soars off the port bow. Your adrenaline rushes as you fight the beast, your head swims, sweat pours into your eyes, you pull and finally, you've landed him. It is a marvelous fish. There are congratulations all around. You are the happiest you've been in…well, you've never quite been this happy.

So, how do you get to do this? Take a look at this website to find out.
