So we are a little late in the season but lots of last minute waiting on this and that. The plan is to make haste and get though Panama before the weather deteriorates any further. Once past the Galapagos we will be in the winter season with more stable weather. On board is Dave, former owner and skipper for this trip, and crew members Dean, Sebastien, and lisemarie. Hopefully joining us in Panama will be Joey. We are thinking of Nancy and wishing her a speedy recovery. The new owners John and Jenny will also be joining when they can sneak away from their very busy company in Australia. We left the dock in Tavernier at 5:30 pm yesterday and were past the reef before dark. Fishing was off to a good start with a nice black fin reeled in just before sunset so we had sashimi with our dinner. So we will continue to make east as we can until we are able to turn south for Panama. Edit 4/16 So I found internet and posted a picture of Sebastien with a Mahi Mahi we cought after I made the post. First 24 hours, two fish.
