[speed] 6 knots[status] After yesterdays gloriously smooth 24 hours with 15 knot easterlies and light trades, we've run out of wind and are motoring the last few miles to Huahine, which strikes an imposing image on the horizon with its volcanic structure and towering peaks. Tahaa and Raiatea are beyond in the distance, possibly the target of tomorrows sail, or maybe the next day, depending on the surf forecast! And yesterdays highlight- after a couple of hours of trolling, what did we pick up just on nightfall??? Again?!?!? Another marlin- amazing, and hard to believe that they are that plentiful up here that you can hook up two days in a row!! So after 20 seconds of another monster fish dancing all over the surface of the water and stripping 500 m of my brand new line on the highest drag I dared to use.... ping.... gone again! But once again unbelievable- Rod, you'd be amazed!! And just quietly, they both hit the same type of lure- I have their dietry requirements all figured out for next time in case someone wants to sponsor another trip up this way!! ;)
