Sailing and Fishing

It's a bit hard to see in the picture, but here we are under full sail. This means the main sail, the jib and the small cutter sail all out and flowing. We got the rare chance to sail downwind yesterday and was it ever fun. Bonanza is a fine boat - looking good under sail. We made it first to Long Island and then onto Run Cay. This is truly the island time forgot. Apparently they just got electricity here a few years ago. If you are ready for a remote island experience this is the place.
More luck the next day. Roy had just set out the good old "red and white" plug and almost immediately Fish On! Of course this happened when we were the least prepared. Getting them hooked is one thing, but bringing them into the cockpit quite another. Our system is to gaff them while they are still over the side and them bring them into the plastic bin on the cockpit floor. Then we grab the spray bottle with the really cheap vodka and squirt this into their gills and mouth. It works wonders. I like to believe they are sent pleasantly off to sleep...
