Sunday 3rd May - As of midnight day-10 we were at position 6:33.90S 107:51.25W

 

We had the line out all day and at about 4PM it went for a run. We sailed past a school of Wahoo and after trying to land the large fish I had hooked up I was unlucky to have him get off. Wahoo being the school fish they are meant another fish jumped straight on to the hook and I was able to land the little bugger. I must say he was not going anywhere even though he was proberly the smallest fish I have ever caught from the back of Silk Sheets I steamed him up not to waste a tiny bit of the precious meat and we eat him on a salad.
