Mahi Mahi -- Fish ON

Yes we caught fish today. Four in fact all dolphin Tuna. We kept 2 and threw the rest back. We are hand fishing with 150 lb test line and funky lures.

We had a fine dinner of fresh Mahi and Asian Salad.

We had a rough night sailing and little sleep. Today we motored awhile and then finally sailed and sailed briskly till dark/dinner.

We had to shorten sail before dark because squalls were predicted.

Progress is good but a little slower than expected.

The SSB email is connecting with difficulty. We are more than 700 miles from Florida and the ground stations we use.

If we can't post our position directly then check the rally site for updates. This blog may not be updated everyday too until we arrive but I will try.

  1. Glad to hear the fish are biting, sounds like you enjoyed them. Posts are a bit delayed, but that's to be expected. The SDR Follow the fleet is less than helpful, Every boat you click on is "Undefined." Winlink is the most reliable.and seems to keep up with you fairly well. Missing you.

  2. Karen is 100% correct, the SDR fleet report is useless! If you want we can try 20 Meters and talk. Happy sailing!
