Well we had a fantastic nights sail until we lost the wind (rather careless of us, I agree but these things happen). We engined for the rest of the night. Yesterday, just after we had written and sent our updates, we sat down to have lunch when we caught our first fish. Dishes down and rod up and Angus brought in a 4lb dorado (we think). The skipper decided that she was too small and was returned to Neptune and so does not count in the competion (sorry Ally -I'm not really cheating - but we have photographic evidence just in case it is the only fish we catch!). After that the rest of the day just passed in pleasant company. We took part in a pub quiz with the rest of the Pontoon 16 net on the SSB radio and we are lying 2nd equal after round one. We will let you know how we fare.

Massive (not!) fish that we caught between massive (real) gloves for line handling.
