[status] Anchored at Pt. Berangomaina on the northwest coast of Madagascar. We had another beautiful day of sailing today from Honey River to here but a very disappointing fishing day. We had a fishing line in the water all morning and at lunch time got a strike with a yellow-fin tuna on the line, but we lost it while trying to gaff and bring it on deck. Our steel leader broke, so we lost not only the fish, but also our lure. Very bummed. In all our years of sailing and fishing, we've never caught a yellow-fin tuna - lots of Mahi Mahi, Wahoo and Spanish Mackerel and other fish, but the yellow-fin tuna have always eluded us (and that's a delicious fish!). The fishing line and a new lure will go back in the water tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
