Other than a glorious, relaxing day of travel while rigging equipment completely unique to Royal Star, not much to report in the way of action here. Beautiful weather, and a downhill run made for pure enjoyment while anticipation of the fishing to come maintained enthusiasm and kept everyone engaged throughout the day. One correction I need to make is the name of the current tropical cyclone "Rick" that was mistakenly cited as "Patrick" in yesterday's report. Regardless everything else I stated is still on the mark with our vigilance and awareness from long experience in these waters guaranteed. At present we are enjoying fantastic conditions with plenty more in the forecast over the next two days. We are on target for our arrival in the early a.m. tomorrow where we hope to get with the program and put some more quality tuna, with perhaps a few wahoo and yellowtail, on board. No photos today so look for two with tomorrow's report.
