Fish! at last, on Larrys last sail.

On Larry and Fiona’s last sail we hit the big time fish wise. First a lovely barracuda, with BIG teeth, but unfortunately it had to go back because in this area they have ciguatera which is a disease you don’t want to get.. but then along came a nice Black Fin Tuna, which I had the honour of wrestling on board. It was 14 lbs of great fish, that has now been put to good use.
