Delivery day 4

We caught a number of decent sized fish, but much to the regret of Rob, Harry and Stan, most of said fish managed to free themselves from the lures.

In the end however, we had some lovely braai’d dorado and tuna for dinner with mash and fresh tomato, and the crew all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Tyla got a tiny bit sunburnt on her face from falling asleep in a weird position, so when her shift came she was all ready, decked with glasses hat buffs and a towel wrapped around her.

This afternoon we kept up the game of hearing the fishing line reels only to get there and have the fish escape. We also found a baby squid, about 12cm long, and when Kerryn picked it up it pecked at her and squirted her with a bit of ink! She proudly sports her new tattoo as proof she is following in the footsteps of Stanley, her new role model.

The crew have all more or less gotten their sea legs and are settling in, the weather is warm with occasional drizzles, and we are making good speed.
