The Fish!

On Monday morning Yael bought a fish from the fishermen and we were off to sea. I had a feeling that this is would be our luck day with the fishing rig, because we already had a fish.
So after dragging the plastic bate for 3 months, about an hour after leaving Preveza we caught a nice fish (see the pictures for a proof!). Then, out of nowhere, Naama started screaming that this is a murder and that we’re not allowed to do this, and she went to her room and wouldn’t talk to us for the whole day. She missed the beautiful close hauled sail we had in 20+ knot wind. The boat was heeling nicely, while I on the helm keeping the boat a little head to the wind, to avoid the aggressive heeling and speed. Eventually we decided to reduce the sail area and furled the mainsail one step. The boat straightened up a little bit, stopped jumping on the waves and went a little faster, as we could go full speed now. It was a lot more comfortable now. We kept going this way till we arrived at Parga.
BTW – Yael cooked the fish with tomatoes and other good stuff, and was delicious.

Parga is a lovely bay, surrounded by rocks, with a small fishing harbor at the west end, as you can tell from the tons of pictures that we took there. We’ll try to stop there again on the way back, to enjoy the lovely beaches, and maybe have some swim.
