09/03/2007: "Yellowfin Tuna"
It is predictable that when you are tearing along downwind under spinnaker, surfing at up to 13 knots with autopilot on doing the worn and the crew head down into a book that the lures get a strike. Pandemonium strikes as everyone dashes to 'positions'. Autopilot off and run square, bag the spinnaker, start winding the reel, grab the fishbin and rum (to quieten the fish) and gaff. This beautiful yellowfin was added to the days catch - the cat and crew were is gourmet heaven yet again.
