A smooth ride down featuring flat calm weather and good times. Not much serious business in the way of rigging and prep today saving the big push for tomorrow morning on our way west. Prospects are strong as we head for the promised land looking forward to re-engaging the battle tomorrow through next Thursday. Reports and photos will soon follow.

Photo today features a grab from the last voyage I piloted when Royal Star veteran Kim Kuchlenz landed this dandy, 60 pound class yellowfin tuna.
