After 16 days out in the big Pacific Ocean Brian finaly caught a fish today.

A big fish.

A Skip Jack Tuna – aprox 12 pounds heavy.

He really deserved that now. He has been fishing almost every day – and he has lost 3 big ones.

And this one was a struggle to get into the boat.

Ellen took the rod and Brian used the gaff to bring the fish onto the boat.

Once on Ko-Ko Lauren gave the Tuna some Bacardi, now he is calm.

We are all looking forward to a nice Tuna meal tonight.

Tomorrow we will be in Hiva Oa. Now we have done 2900nm – less than 150 to go.

The last few days we have been motoring.

No wind and longing for land made that decision easy.
