Fishing - our first catch

After loosing one in the early afternoon and
in the early evening, at 20:00 the wind was around 12kts and our speed with both
full sails was 8kts. Michalis was practising the reel drill and suddenly shouted
''τραβάει, τραβάει'' (It's pulling, you could hear the reel going very
fast); it took us fifteen minutes to get this Albacore tuna
(nicknamed ''veal of the Carthusians'' due to the similarity with
veal) which we weighed 9 kgs.
A great feeling we all had. Then the even harder
work started:cleaning the fish, blood all over hanging it, plenty of
roe, cutting slices for the freezer and at the end the tail part for an
immediate Sashimi.....!
It s definately going to be a tuna week.
By the time we had cleaned and store it the sun
was setting in the west.....
