Had member Chris K and his lovely escort Kelly aboard today.... I knew I was gonna have a tough one after I'm suddenly missing around a half volt or more from my system (alt? Battery?). Damn I hate looking over my shoulder at srtuff when I'm trying to fish. Add to that being 700lbs heavy with a load of chub stuff aboard and the potential for back siphoning through the bilge pump. I was a bucket of nerves.
It was still cooking at 15 when we cleared the inlet but that was better than the last month of 20-30kts... Water was blue and clean and off we went.
The day started way slow. In fact it wasnt till about 11:00 whene we got our first fish. Just a dolphin but hey it was a fish.
I could see fish working flyers all over the place and they did not even want to look at the spread. Frigates, terns, gannets all bombing for hours. Water exploding, flyers all over by the acre but we couldn't draw a bite. Away from the commotion we drilled a few neeters for action. I slid deep and the was on my way back in when we had a billfish working over a ccouple small lures I was running. Then Bingo... We bowed him up. Light tackle and off to the races. Turned out to be a sail and considering the fleet was skunked, I'll take it...

We plodded on adding some more neeters to the collection and some more dolphin. We get a final crack at it then are Island bound!

Here the lovely Kelly shows the dolphin a little love...
