Ship's Log:
Warm and clear again, water is about as warm as a tepid
bath. Lost a large Dorado today. Also we had a 6-7ī shark take our
tuna lure this morning. Wendy F. casually pulled in the line
thinking it was a small tuna until the prize reached the side of
the Grace at which point it ran. We coaxed it back along side twice
more with all our strenghth so we could get a good look at
him. Then all at once the shark decided that the game was over and
he was gone. On inspection of the lure it was obvious that the
steel leader was bitten clean through. Great excitment for all.
