Diving for fish-net in the propeller

We’re inside. We've graduated to a super privileged slot, on a borrowed finger pontoon. There was some very professional backing down the lane and into this slot by Capt. Ørnulf!

Once inside and tied onto the pontoon we notice a great wad of fish-net twisted around the propeller. Ick! Ørnulf, with newly purchased snorkeling gear, goes fish-net hunting, knife in hand. We've joined the “Entwined Propeller Club”, just happy that no serious damage is done. We hope.

Chef Shannon makes bacalão today, from the Norwegian dried cod, bought at the Portuguese mercado. Another One Skillet Dish: sauté onion, remove, sauté sliced potatoes, garlic, replace onions. Add soaked (24 hrs.) cod, add sliced tomatoes, lemon, pepper, put a tight lid on it, steam on low heat for 20 minutes, or so.

Eat with a good red wine. Enjoy!
