Not precisely the start we were looking for the scratch setting marched toward sundown with little promise for more. But, and this is the relative silver lining, we have plenty to fish for. Never was there a time when we didn't see fish and stop in zones with potential.

Good working conditions and scenery adds to the setting instilling a long range feel to the present objective. Success now is simply a matter of grit, determination, and the age old go to strategy of time at the rail. We'll see how it works out before our time on the lower end peters out. Regardless of tomorrow's results a northward passage is in store as we set ourselves up for a back end shot at offshore tuna.
