Caught my first tuna!
May 15, 2016, North Pacific Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
My first Tuna! What a rush it was. You can see that I'm glowing. I had a 50ft handline with a green and a pink squid. The line was tied to the transom and then clothespinned to the lifeline. When I heard it snap I jumped up with energy and yelled to Dave who was sleeping to help handle the boat while I pulled it in. As I grabbed the line and looked overboard I saw a school of a hundred or so Ahi! It was both exhilarating and frightening as I imagined they must have been pissed at me for pulling In their buddy. The army of yellowfin looked like a serious force to be reckoned with. As I pulled the fish up to the boat it barely put up a struggle and I had the sensation that the school and fish had accepted and offered its passing for us to enjoy. Then with one solid swing of the gaff I stuck the giant hook in its head and yanked it aboard. It all seemed surreal and way too easy. Then the bloody mess began.Read more

Sea to Summit Day 3. On the 11.8 mile hike to the Summit the lava rock trail was extremely varied in form and colour. I'm amazed my minimal shoes survived the sharp stuff. Here I find some relief while walking over green sand. Olivine.Read more
