Anchored in Baie de Ugue after motor-sailing north along the east coast
Writing this listening to the exhalation of a few dolphins as they hunt for their breakfast around us;
reminds me of catching squid when we were in Lifou, catching them was too lovely as you watch them watching the lure,
inspecting it, swapping places with another squid, changing colour - like a film, they are beautiful - unfortunately we did catch a
couple for supper, then we spotted a giant trevally who'd come to investigate, Si instantly changed lures and was all keen to catch it.
meanwhile I gutted the squid and threw the innards over in small pieces.
The huge old fish swam right by Si's lure and ate the squid bits, then he waited until I dropped over the next bit,
he was eating barely a metre away from my hand for several minutes until we ran out - and Si decided he was too wonderful to try and catch after all.
