Tortuga's Fishing Day - The Mahi were on it!

You never know whether success will be yours or not when it comes to fishing.  Some days are just that - fishing while others are all about catching! The latter is far more exciting and so was our day yesterday. Mahi-Mahi didn't quite jump in the boat but the crew cleaned fish until 9 pm last night and we are loaded up again to serve our guest the best and freshest local seafood ever. 

Take note of our new dock friend , a ghost crab. "Crabby Appleton" waits patiently for his scraps throughout our time at the Dock cleaning station.

Christmas Eve Extravaganza!

2am and 27 knot gusts. Anchor broke free and we're drifting towards shore - fast!  Fire up those diesels! Pull that anchor up.  Driving rain! No time for wine.   Must get to deeper anchorage and weave through the mine field of other vessels.  Where's their anchor lights?  Don't they care that we are much bigger and somewhat blinded with the driving rain?

....Just another fun night for captain and crew.  Today is bright, windy and a beauty of a day for sailing.  Amen!
