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.

Nice fish. Who is the septuagenarian?

Beautilful, Wayne. Sure wish it were me!

How about quick freezing a few steaks from that thing and shipping them to DC?

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.

I'd be glad to but the shipping charges will not be trivial. 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.

How many will it feed? Just wondering... seems like you could seat quite a
few.

And next day is the only way you can ship regardless of which carrier
you use. And instead of truely being 'overnight' it really means 2-3
days. I shiped a unit to Wayne on Wednesday,a nd the Marina recieved
it on Saturday. I was suprised that it didn't get there the next
monday or even tuesday. That is, if UPS didn't lose it anyhow.


But man, it does look tasty!
