A beautiful sail from St Barths to St Kitts. Fast sailing in crystal clear blue water. Now this is what we came for!
Fishing has also been going OFF!
We caught three bluefin tuna this morning. We let two go, but one became fresh sashimi for lunch. Then, just on nightfall, Greg caught a huge tuna (species: greener than the others) and we took two big fillets off it. Greg also cut to chunks of tender flesh from behind the head. We seared the fillets on the barbie - 20 second on each side - and it was simply magical. I'm ruined for other 'fresh' fish. This was all of 20 minutes old.
We cerviched the other pieces.
OH HEAVENS IT WAS GOOD!
* look at that hilarious (yet quietly disturbing) photo of Greg with his tuna. Except for when he has fresh sashimi on the mind, he's actually a quite pleasant lad. In actual fact, this technique for killing fish is called an IKI. It's Japanese, and was taught to us by our marine biologist friend Max. It's supposed to be quick and as painless as being killed can be, but I'm not certain one is supposed to have photos like this taken, and I am pretty sure it's not recommended to post them on the web.
