Ship's Log:
Great day today with spectacular fishing and swim stops in crystal clear blue water. Today was one of the more exciting fishing days we have had so far. At 1200hrs the first fish hit and it took a good half an hour to land it on the Graces decks. Taking 4 people to heave it over the rail this was the third and largest sailfish caught to date. Once landed we figured the weight to be around 150lbs. and the length around 8ī. Shortly after a 35lb Dorado hit and a little later something large enough to take hook and all before we got a look at him. Heather did a masterful job with the fish preparing 3 styles for us to try, cajun, lemon spice and Mike G prepared a delicious teriaki.
Light winds are the order of the day so we have been motoring since 0700. Should be nearing Cocos on the morning of the 24th.
