Mahi Mahi III

Tuesday Saundy and Effie left for the airport bright and early in the morning.  I scrubbed Makai, inside and out, we all went to the grocery store in the car for last minute produce and dairy and then headed off to the north end of Eluthera.

This was a pretty good half way stop before heading up to the Abaco Islands. The wind was from the right direction and the right speed to make for a quick and pleasant trip.  We met Dream Catcher there with plans for and early morning departure to the east side of Abaco Island.

Roy was going to fish but complained that we were going to fast. His request to slow down was met with much resistance. Who ever heard of a sailboat trying to slow down?!  After a few strikes on his line and quickly losing the fish because the line snapped or the bait was stripped from the hooks because we were flying at 9+ knots, we agreed to slow down.  The main had to be reefed and the jib rolled in.  But we were still doing over 7 knots. Then came the reel, zzzzzzzzzing!  FISH ON! We rolled in the rest of the jib and eventually dropped the main sail. This fish kept taking line and Roy was afraid he would run out of line on the reel.  For about two hours we bobbed broadside to the wind and swells while the fish took line and while he rested Roy pulled it in.

Over and over this went on.  Because of previous encounters with rambunctious Mahi Mahi, we practiced our patience. Carlos took the line, Roy brought it back in, Carlos took the line, Roy brought it back in.  Finally Carlos looked like he was just floating along beside Makai and we decided to make our move.  The problem was we couldn’t decide of we should gaff him and then sit on him with a blanket or maybe it was possible to drag him up on the step and sit on him.  After going back and forth on this decision I gaffed, Eric sat and Carlos was too pooped out to fight.  He welcomed the vodka in his gills and prepared himself for dinner. Roy was pleased to catch his first Bull Mahi Mahi, notice how square the top of his head is.

We watched all the boats that left after us and those behind us pass by, but Roy on Makai brought home the prize.  With all the fish in the freezer we happily shared most of this guy with our friends and enjoyed fresh mahi-kabobs for dinner.
