Tonight we finally got some action and luckily it was on my shift, that I conveniently overslept. The sheet of the genova broke under the strength of the wind and we had some hardcore flapping. With some nice waves and warm water, I got nicely awake and ready to continue the rest of my shift awake.
The past day I’ve lost a big dolphin fish, but about one hour later I caught it’s cousin I guess, so my ego was ok. To spice up the things, we had a Marlin successfully trying to take away one of our baits. I tried to save it, but eventually he got a firm bite and the sorry fishing line didn’t hold. My fault, should have let it loose for some time to tire the fish a bit more. But the adrenaline got pumping and I got all excited for the next day. Never got a 2 meter fish so firmly connected to my body and I think I like it. The fight for food is pretty exciting in the ocean.
I’m wondering how will it be in Cabo Verde…
