Subject: PPJ Day 3
Tuna! Tuna! Tuna! Well, the yellow fin tuna that have eluded us all year long finally showed up today. The entire crew is ecstatic, and Brenden even did a shake your bootie dance. They are pretty small, but at this point we are happy with anything. Sushi rolls tonight and seared rare steaks tomorrow night. Not much else is going on, really. The boys started school today, but I took a nap instead of helping them, so we’ll see tomorrow what they actually did. This evening seemed like any other night at anchor, just a bit more rolly. Tim was filleting fish while I was cooking dinner. I had to take a moment and look around and remind myself we’re in the middle of the freakin Pacific Ocean!
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better start to the passage.
