26 Feb 09 Arrived at the Saint Andrews Bay Pass (Panama City, FL) at about 4:00 AM. Keep going and got to the West Bay buoy line at sun break. Arrived back at the dock about 1:00 PM. Trip over and not major problems. No real sleep for 3+ days so not much for words. The bottom line is all three arrived on the boat and all anchors were still on the boat, not to say a crossing is not as easy as you may think! 25 Feb 09 What a day of fishing! We caught so many Bonita some times we did not even get the lure deployed before it was hit. The best time was when all a once both of the reels went off at once. I lleft mine in the holder and chip brought in the Black Fin Tuna about 18 pounds and 2 feet long. Then I brought in the fish that had hit my reel, and it was an identical twin! Two Black Fin Tuna at the same time. We cleaned both and cooked some for dinner. I don't line fish but this was the best I have ever had. What a catch!
24 Feb 09 Again the winds fall off at sunset, so instead of starting the generator to make electrons we use the main engine, then about 10 PM the winds come alive at 20+. Close hulled it is a ride. 23 Feb 09 So off we go! The winds what to come out of the north, but we keep pushing a little west so we can sail. When the sun goes down the winds fall off and had to start the iron jib. Not much to talk about so far. |
