Easy Rider - Easy Rider ... Chief Engineers Update... Day 10



Finally we have caught some fish! After dragging the lure all the way since BVI, and have lost 2 lures in the fight with fishes, we finally managed to get a nice 20 pound black finned tuna on board. What a beauty! Before we didn't even finish the gutting, we had company by loads of Saddleback Dolphins. In out eager to make a nice video of these dolphins we forgot all about the lure that was already in the water again. After half an hour we were back in the cockpit and the captain realized that something was on the lure, dragged in the surface, 50 yards behind us. One again we slowed down the boat, and pulled in another nice tuna. Exactly the same size as the first one. This one was already dead when we got it onboard. Drowned after being dragged after the cat with 8 knots. Since the first catch was Martins and the last catch was Davids, i'm on the fishing rod today, waiting for a much bigger Tuna or anything else... as long as it is bigger than the first two!
Beside that nothing has happened. The forecast of easterly winds at less than 18 knots is rubbish, but to our luck we have still got fuel for at least another 100 hours of steaming. And since we are in the lead, it will be enough to bring us all the way to the azores.
