Wednesday 11th
Today we had low swell and winds making it a slow trip, so I put the rod off the back of Imagine with a small lure. While Austin and Julia slept, B and I played cards (B won). Just as we finished the rod went BZZZZZZ… there was something on the line! I raced onto the back deck to start reeling in our dinner. B depowered the boat to slow us down to make it easier for me. Austin and Julia came out on deck to see what the fuss was about.
It took 15 minutes to get the fish along side. I would get it close to Imagine then it would dive and I would have to reel it back in. Austin got the gaff hook and was ready to hook what looked to be a Tuna when the lure ripped out of its mouth. I put the line out again hoping for another chance but no luck.
For dinner, B had leftovers and Julia wasn’t hungry. Austin and I had Egg and Baked Beans on toast.
