FISH ON.

We were happily cruising Westward when there was the inimitable sound of zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz from the reel of our trolling fishing line. Andrew rushed to the stern grabbed the cod piece and after a gallant struggle we sighted a fine Skipjack Tuna but —— flashing in the water right behind and trying to steal our catch was a huge bright blue Marlin. The Marlin was fought off  by bashing the water with a landing net and the Tuna was happily recovered.

A fine 6Kg fish was claimed by Andrew -  

 We taught him however the old trick of holding the fish well put towards the camera to make it appear MUCH larger.
