"FISH ON" -- AGAIN!!
Wallace's Sailing Adventure on "Arbella"

21:13.8N 65:24.6W It was a slow afternoon UNTIL…Paul yelled "Fish On", slowed the boat to 2 knots, and all hands went topside to help Ralph reel in mahi mahi #2! The sargasso weeds created as much drag as the fish. The first one was about 15 pounds, but this one was a smaller 6 pounds….yet still produced "filets for two"…which were frozen 20 minutes after the fish was caught, and will be there for Mike and Vicki in January when we return! Moreover, a school of at least 6 other mahi mahi followed the caught one right up to the boat….with a big net, we might have had quite a haul! Sail on….
