PkBoo - PKBOO Log Day 17 - Bob & two tuna fish

Hi friends of PkBoo.Yesterday Bob, the parasailor, had a really good job for us and increased our speed to 6.5 - 7 kts.During the afternoon two big tuna fishes wanted to entered in our crew; one, the biggest (around 18 kg and called mr fish) was caught and the other one relised. Now we are thinking about the rules of mr fish; on the oven with potatoes? Fried? Boiled and kept in the oil with onions and tomatoes? Probably all of these but suggestions from home are appreciated.Our autopilot Pedro Himenez is running well, while the watermaker has some problem but we have enough water.See you tomorrow on this channel.CiaoMarco. read more...
