Ate some of the catch for dinner last night. Simply the best mackerel I have ever eaten. The net is still in the water. We got few fish on the first pass so we've turned to face the shoal again. This one is a long haul.
Just been up on the bridge, and spotted whales off in the distance but no hope of filming them so far away. Praying that we don't catch the quota too quickly. It would be good to have another few opportunities with the killer whales closer to the boat.
The skipper and crew want their job to be done quickly and efficiently, and be back on dry land as soon as possible. Other than everything happening very quickly and wanting to capture as much of this experience as possible, I'm feeling like I want to spend a whole lot more time out here.
It's an incredible place to be, with some chance of lifetime encounters. One of the crew has just asked me if I was bored yet. I've never been less bored in my entire life.
Heading back out onto the deck.
