Cape Jaffa to Portland

15 May 2014
We left Cape Jaffa at 0400 the next morning. The swell was up around three metres and before long it started raining heavily. I went and had a lie down and fell promptly to sleep! I woke up later in the morning to find that it had turned into an awesome sunny day. The swell was huge!

Dwayne had his tuna lures out and when I spotted a heap of fish jumping out of the water we headed over to take a spin around them. We hooked onto a tuna and Dwayne pulled it in after a little tug-of-war with the fish!
