Friday, Septemeber 14, 2007 - Lousy Fishing

14 September 2007 | Niuatoputapu, Tonga

More attempts at fishing have been fruitless. When I check with the locals I see that all they are catching are very small mullet using casting nets, technology that has not changed in hundreds of years. For large fish like tuna or mahi mahi they travel offshore 14 miles to a reef which is productive. However, the trip there is in open water and requires good weather which has been in short supply the past couple of days. Last night it blew to 30 knots in the anchorage but no boats dragged their anchor. I think it was a sleepless night for most. Today brought steady rain in the morning and partly cloudy skies in the afternoon.

All else is well onboard.
