Today Ellisa provided a very welcome rest for a tied young swallow on its way to Africa, but Mark has not seen fresh meat for a few days and thought she might make a tastie snack
 
 
 
Something that would really have made a tastie snack was a Marlin which we caught today. It was young one approx 4 foot long and whilst we were out of fish we all agreed it was too pretty to kill. Taking the hook out was a bit lively, but our resident Jackass team member (Ian) waswell up for the task and did well to avoid getting speared by its sharp tusk.  Oh well. Frey Bentos tonight!
