Not a sight to be seen, but I was told that the tuna were south of the rock, any way, after a while I turned around and headed back to Portland, in to the teeth of the 35 Km/hr plus winds. This created the situation of the swell travelling in my direction and the wind and waves in the opposite. With the sun in my eyes it made it a bit hard to judge the oncoming waves.
However I decided to troll back so top speed was about 8 to 9 knots, even then it was a bit bumpy at times, but I am impressed the way the boat handled the waves.
It was disappointing not to hook up, but the main reason was to gain sea experience in the weather. More importantly I took the bung out and only a few drops of water came out.
But I really hate tinny bastards who hook up on their first trip.
:tongue: :Boxing: :tease:
