Things definitely slowed down today! You can tell it's on the downswing. If a guy works at it though he could put together a day if you stay with it! Took off from the island heading to Ensenada early and our weather is definitely snotty to say the least! Should be in late tomorrow afternoon Friday, and on time into San Diego on Saturday morning.
Looking forward to having Vernon and the boys out on their annual five-day charter to Guadalupe Island! Don't have much more to say just hanging on trying to stay in my chair and not fly out of the wheelhouse.

By the end of the day only a few fishermen were still standing.Β¬β Chef Pedro fixed a spicy teriyaki albacore lunch that was fantastic.Β¬β For dinner he served some delicious veal chops. Today was just a great. This is what albacore fishing is supposed to be like."
