Day 279 - Galapagos - Marquesas, Passage - Day 6

Wednesday 29th April - As of midnight day-6 we
were at position 4:55.69S 99:34.65W It was a lovely day and finally I managed to catch a fish.
It was a Dolphin fish which is definitely one of my favorite eating so fish for
dinner it was. I was quite lucky to get it on board because I have been
using hand lines lately and I did not know it was hooked. By the time I had realized
and got it onboard some other obviously bigger and hungry fish had had a little
bite out of it. This had its advantages because Dolphin fish are the biggest
bleeders and as soon as you bring them on deck blood goes everywhere. Not this
time…… Day 279 Destination – Average Speed – 5.2 Total distance – 119 Nautical Miles Travel Time – 24h |
