We departed yesterday on the Abbott 7 day trip with a nice load of bait and good weather. We are traveling south and will begin fishing on Monday morning. A shout out today to our good friend Cliff Hamaishi who is waging a valiant battle while looking forward to his next Royal Star voyage among friends. We thought of you many times on the last voyage Cliff as we pulled on bluefin tuna to our hearts content. We are all looking forward to your full recovery and exceedingly fine company on your next Royal Star voyage. Thank you for all the good times we have shared. Many more to come. Today's image is a beauty from the bridge perspective as we approach a frothing bluefin school.
