The day after Nic's birthday it was a 0510 rise for a 0545 departure. Not easy at the best of times but especially hard after a few beers the night before. But we toughed out what was a very ordinary day on the water at times with current coming from three directions at once in over two metres of sea and 25 knots of wind. Having said all of that we had a pretty good day in the fish department and ended up winning the tournament. So we were stoked but happy to crawl into bed after cleaning the boat, gear and fish at about eight-thirty.

Pony with the biggest wahoo for the tournament, so we actually won two prizes.
The total catch. It was a 'Catch Five' tournament with marlin, dolphin fish, yellowfin tuna, skipjack tuna and wahoo the targets. No one caught a marlin and only three boats catching three of the five. It them came down to total weight of the three biggest target fish and we came out on top by one and a half pounds.
Number One. For this month anyway.
Nothing like fresh yellowfin sashimi.
