Mahi Mahi Anyone?

Now that the traces of seasickness are leaving captain and crew the fish have decided our lures look tasty and have been chomping on plastic and metal all afternoon. Five Mahi Mahi have been reeled in in the past three and a half hours. The first arrived just in time for lunch, so after Kevin reeled in the ten pounder I filleted it, cooked it, and served it with a salad for the first actual meal I've touched since Oahu (And though the chef is clearly biased I must say it was quite good). From swimming in the sea to my mouth in under 90 minutes, with time enough between for my daily saltwater shower (while the water is still 78 anyways). Not a bad way to have lunch. The problem now is that the refrigeration on board is losing its power (draws too much energy for me to use it at sea) and I'm not eager enough to fillet anymore Dorado, so till we come across a tuna or a new day is born we'll continue freeing the Mahi Mahi we land. The five fish is, however, a daily record for this voyage. Wind has been holding steady in the twenty knot range since this morning and the skies are clear with a bank of cumulus puffs encircling the horizon. All-things-considered this has been another fantastic day of sailing.
