We had a great sail down here with very light winds of about six knots throughout the night, and then a perfect 15 knots for the daylight stretch through the reefs.
The first fish that we caught I was winding in slowly, mainly because we were still sailing at 7 knots, but we were also enjoying the thrill of fighting our first fish in quite a while! Then this 8-foot shark did a sideways attack and just barely missed our dinner! The fish though was having nothing to do with this, spit the lure out, and disappeared! About half an hour after that we caught another one, this time we had rehearsed our action plan, Intrepid turned us into the wind so that we were just making headway, Integrity got the garbage can ready to put the fish in, and Innocence had a towel for me to use when I grabbed the fish! It was a beautiful yellowtail tuna! We had pan-seared tuna for snack, fish tortillas for lunch, and plan on having fish something for dinner! Everybody loves a yellowtail!
We have a great horseshoe shaped soft sand beach here, and the three older children are boogie-boarding while I take a rest. It is nice to be me!!
