You know, it's a bugger of a life really. All that fishing you have to do. It takes hours to catch a fish, and then you have photograph them. After that it's on to sharpening the knives, getting the chopping boards out, bleeding, skinning, gutting, deboning and filleting. Then there is the mess to cleanup........Is the fishing really that good? We did catch some nice Mahimahi and sailfish, as well as tuna and barracuda.
Of course then you need to know how to cook it. Luckily we had the proverbial world-famous in New Zealand 'Edmonds
Cookbook' on board. Yes, and it was left to the captain to sort out a good recipe. So here I was, sitting in the nav station, checking out the cookbook.
Meanwhile outside there was another one of those damn sunsets and if you can make out the shadow on the side of the boat it's Laurel. Here she is, chatting to our children back home on the satellite phone.
However, after all this, it is always nice to sit outside relax with a drink and sit down to nice fresh fish, anchored up and turquoise water, good company and another one of those damn sunsets............
