Today was an early departure from Brampton, sailing between Tinsmith/Linne and Goldsmith islands where there was consiiderable current - in a favourable direction - and then toward Thomas island. Another day of good sailing, mostly square downwind with headsail/mainsail gullwinged despite the rolly swells. 2 miles short of Thomas, the sonar showed large numbers of echo's (see picture) so dropped all sail and drifted, fishing the bottom which was >100 ft down. Catches were a 2 ft shark, adn somethng else thats straightened 3 very sizeable hooks in a bait fish.
Then a short & easy sail took us into a deserted but lovely bay on Nth side of Thomas Is, with beaches, calm water and everything good, for an afternoon of beach-combing, fishing, swimming and generally wasting time in the sun. Now at Lat 20 32.4', long 149 06.6'.
Uncooperative fish here today, so was forced to make Spag bol with meat balls ..!!
