[status] We decided to go from Yate to the Ile des Pins and left at 0430 hrs as it is a 52 nm trip. All went well and we had a mixture of motoring, motor-sailing and sailing and got in to Baie de Kuto at 1400 hrs. As we traversed the eastern end of Havana pass this morning we landed a nice little Walu. We had another strike about 5 nm from the anchorage that stretched the shock cord on my hand line right out to max - clearly something big!! The line went slack before I even got my gloves on....probably just as well - something that big would likely be very hard to handle. I still had the lure so it's all good. It is stunningly beautiful here in the Bay and we are sharing the anchorage with quite a few other rally boats
