7:30pm, Sun July 20
Last few nights the sky has been incredible as I’ve come on watch at 11pm. This morning we had a wrap around sunrise, 360 degrees of pink clouds. We kept the watch schedule on PDT, so as we’ve gone west through 2 or 3 time zones, when the sun rises and sets changes a bit each day. Sunrise is about 10amm boat time. We put the fishing line in the water 2 days ago, yesterday we got a hit, got away before we landed it, beautiful dorado, or mahimahi. Today we got anotheer hit, and landed another dorado. They are iridescent blue and green for about 2 minutes, then fade fast to yellow, heartbreaking beautiful as they slash through the blue water. We ate more than half of it as sashimi, the rest will get cooked for dinner. While I was cleaning the fish another one hit, but got away before I could land it. Hard to believe that we’ll be ashore sometime Tuesday.
