Another Big Mahi Mahi Caught While Cruising
We caught this one on Sunday about 20 miles off the west coast of
Puerto Rico. It was not quite as big as the one in January but still very good sized and great eating. Length was 54 inches, weight about 35 pounds. It took almost 30 minutes to get him in the boat, a very tough, feisty fish. http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/4...iwestofpue.jpg http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/4...iwestofpue.jpg |

Yes, and lots of it. We need to get some place where we can have a fish fry with fellow cruisers, otherwise the two of us we will be eating Mahi Mahi for a long time. We have sort of an informal policy where we don't fish unless we need more, so I'd like to see it get eaten up soon. This area between Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and the Turks and Caicos has really excellent fishing. |

You get about 10 to 12 pounds of solid, usable fillets from a 35 pound fish, probably a little more if you are really good (which I'm not). We got about 12 big servings from a 40 pounder back in January, with a little left over. |

Last time we shipped something from the US to the islands, the UPS tab came to $255 for next day service. Later in the cruise we sent a very thin envelope from Martinique to Ft Lauderdale via DHL courrier for the bargain rate of $60. |
