Woke up for my 2-5 am shift with the news Steve had been attacked by a suicidal flying fish. We have developed a small diesel leak and Steve had opened their bedroom window to get some ventilation, during the night a flying fish went straight through the top window on to Steve.
After a later deck inspection Steve found another flying fish and a few squid equally eager to commit suicide.
Winds picked up and shifted in our favor during my morning watch and by the time I had woken up later in the morning, the Code Zero was out and we were making good progress.
As we’re making such good time we are leaving the Code Zero up over night.
No fish on our lines, but as we hauled the lines in after dinner something had taken a couple of serious chunks out of one of our fancy rubber fish lures.
They’re out there just need to hook them or leave the windows open and use Steve as bait.
