Last weekend a family of four sailed with us to Netrani. The father was an avid angler and had a bag load of gear for all kinds of fishing options. No sooner had we put up the sails then he had two fishing rods out either side of the stern. And, we hooked two humungous king fish!
Favourable winds ensured we were in scuba mode at noon the next day,
and back home in Goa at sunset on Day 3.
The children, all of 9 and 10, got their sea legs in a trice (as we expected), much to their parents’ surprise and delight; and hung around the boat as if to ‘the manner born’!
The fish? We gave them to the Dive Goa team as the fishing family is vegetarian and we don’t have a fridge on board, so couldn’t stash the fish away till we got home.
What better way to reminisce about this wonderful sail than with Chris Rea’s “Gone Fishing”
Happy New Year folks! Wish you fair winds and following seas in 2021.
