One Life - Day 18 - First catch of the passage

Today I caught a fish, the first of this passage! But I had no idea what type it was. It had very dark green skin, a roundish shape, and a wide tail.

It never ceases to amaze me how far from land these birds can travel for feeding. Why do they fly so far? How do they rest? What do they drink? There will definitely be some Googleing, once we get to Rodney Bay. :) image1. read more...
