Fresh Fish!

On a broad reach we have the main and the genoa both to port. We're doing 4,5 knots through water. Is this the trades? Calm seas, hot sun, a decent blow. Not bad. A perfect day for a foredeck shower. Buckets of saltwater first then the fresh-water rinse from "The Black Bag", basking in the sun heating up. We bask and sun-dry ourselves on deck, letting dependable "Lille-Per" steer in the steady winds.

Meanwhile we have 50m fishing line out from the stern. Equipped with a bright red and orange "squid". Looks extremely poisonous. But apparently not to a DORADO (Norwegian: "gullmakrell"). Pulling on the squid we find a HUGE, well, a good-sized dorado attached by his jaws. Big fillets fried with onions. With rice, perfect!
