Is she or isn't she?
Finally we are experiencing nice weather on the East Cape. The wind has been relentless for weeks now. I have no first hand fishing reports but have heard that those willing to brave the wind have been rewarded with marlin and dorado. Even an occasional wahoo is still stirring.
Not wanting to get beat up in the wind has made it a little easier to have my head below the decks of the Jen Wren boats performing maintenance. Every time I start to see the light another gremlin pops ups but it is all to be expected. Inspecting all of the systems because I know it is not a matter of if they will fail it is a matter of when. The game is to anticipate a failure before it happens and perform service to prevent it.
The end of the year is time for reflection so I have started to review some of the incredible photos we were lucky to capture during 2013. There are way too many to post up all at once but for now I have decided to pick a few of my favorites and then post others that turned out to be most popular.
