A looonggg ride up the line reminding us in the starkest of terms just how far the atoll of Clipperton is from
anywhere. Crappy weather did not make the passage of time any easier on us as we slogged our way through counting
the miles one by one; they don't add up quick at the beginning number of 575. But it is all part of the adventure;
the ride north is an inevitability on all long range voyages. Sometimes the bill for good weather comes due,
sometimes not.

We'll be back in the game tomorrow enjoying a few more days of fishing, three to be exact, in search of something
grand to expand our litany of special experiences. Photo today features another east coast warrior who decided to
tangle with a few Clipperton tuna on the big popping gear. Fred Pohlig got all that he bargained for, and then
some, when reefing on a few good ones. Thankfully he never hooked one of the bruisers like his good friend Greg
did the day before leaving him with only fond memories of good times.
