We have been trolling a hand line and one from the rod and reel andsuddenly had two fish on the hook. One came free as we were pulling him in. The other, we managed to land but later cut it free. We had another bite in the mid afternoon, this time George landed a nice five foot Dorado of about 30 pounds. This time we had our plan in place and the fish was soon dead and being towed behind the boat to bleed. No blood, no mess and a nice catch. We immediately cleaned the fish and commenced to saw at least 12 nice steaks off the fish. We dined on fresh fish that evening courtesy of George’s culinary expertise.

The wind continued to be fickle and we finally turned the engine on again late Sunday night, by this time we were well over 70 miles offshore.
