Hi guys, about 140 miles out of Tanna, sailing along quite steadily. Got down to 3rd reef last night and heavily furled headsail, more so for comfort than anything else. We were getting up to 27 knots of true and the seas were starting to get up there so we reduced and had a nice night. Had mixed bag of conditions but all good on board. Hooked one massive Mahi Mahi and it would have to have been about 1.5 metres in length. It was jumping clean out of the water and taking heaps of line and then sure enough, snap goes the line Faaaarrrrr out. Apart from that have only landed two little black striped tuna, not worth keeping or photographing!!!

Lotsa,

Al, Debs and the gang xxx
