[status] 127 miles to go, things have become rather ferrel onboard...wet weather gear is having a full outing and there is a decided fishy smell around...the ocean was kind enough to gift us a tuna and a pair of squalls at the same time last night...caused a slightly less than perfect filleting job. Interestingly tuna went for a purple and white lure moving at 1.5knots( reefed down as squall was almost on us)
