WE CAUGHT A FISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact we caught 2 within a few mins of each other. One was still strong and unhurt so he got released and the other, also a Wahoo about 1.2 meters long weighing about 10 - 12 kgs was prepared for the pan. Much excitement!!! We were beginning to think all the fish really were at Trawlers!

She was filleted and prepared. Roberto our sea cuisine chef made garlic pan bread. Kevin got the braai going and Andre cooked fillets to perfection. There is still enough left for a few days of meals and some in the freezer. As befitting the event; breakfast was consumed washed down by champagne.

The wind has picked up some today and if it holds we should be in Rio in 4 - 6 days, so please don't stop blowing everyone. It is with mixed feelings th4e finish of the crossing is in sight as I can't help feeling our holiday" will be over. Man am I in fior a winderful surprise!

Love to all from fish filled rat catchers.
