An easy pull down the road hauling all the tools, motivation, and experience to make good on whatever is to come. In stark contrast to the last run I championed this voyage has the grace of premium weather to compliment the fishing effort. In no small part such ideal conditions will contribute to our success. As for opportunity I can only report that there should be plenty.

We're in somewhat of a funk overall out here waiting for the next big surge to develop. Not uncommon for this time of year these transition periods admittedly cause all of us to question, project, and flat guess what is next to come. Tuna offshore is the biggest question weighing on all of us at present. When and where the next opportunity will arise in the lower regions? The beauty of fishing of course is the unknown. The proverbial dangling carrot always beckoning.

Such is the cause and draw. Day's end found one and all in relaxation mode enjoying the scenery and calm seas. Completely liberated from the world above progressing calm suffused the climate. A blazing sun tempered then soothed into rich pastel was the perfect finishing touch. All stood down in tribute, and gratitude, to the time of life passed. Another good one gone. Let the fishing begin.
