The change of pace today was certainly dramatic, but the break was embraced by everyone with delight; a chance to recover following a booming day one that taxed muscles and limbs. Working toward our ultimate destinations we picked up a near couple of handful's of wahoo and some bonus “ballslapper” grade dorado. Not bad as diversions a few more would have gone a long way toward satisfying the incessant drive for production on the bridge. As for those on deck all had a fine time. The scenery was great, the weather was fine, and there were more than a few chances to wet a line.

Still in the mood for variety, and waiting for the outside weather to turn in our favor, at least one more day along the coast is to our liking. Though it's been a bit of a challenge in here of late there are still a few stones left unturned. Time of yet is still far in our favor; to make every second count is our plan. Photos today feature Clyde Wickham with his 123 pound yellowfin tuna landed in the eleventh hour of day one, and Don Van Dyke with one of today's dandy dorado captured near a patch of offshore floating kelp.
