Mood of the crew: happy
Fiji is calling, and so we are leaving the lagoon in the morning. The wind is quite fresh. It blows with 25 knots from SE and provides us with an easy broad reach. Under this circumstances we do not bother to set the main sail. Just the head sail is already enough.
Shortly after we have left the lagoon we put two fishing lines in the water and it does not take very long and we notice a bite. We realize quickly that there is again a Mahi Mahi on the hook. This time we are successful and the fish lands wild flapping in the cockpit. Lutz has a difficult time in the rolling cockpit with the fish but a short time later two boxes of fish fillets are in the refrigerator.
