It is always fun to have “firsts.” Today I saw my first flying fish. They have wings and launch out of the water, gliding a considerable distance. I hadn’t actually seen them glide yet, but I did see one in the bait tank. One of the deckhands caught it with a hand net and put it in there, but I have been assured that I will see some flying this evening. Another first was that an owl was roosting on the top of our boat’s mast. We are 100 miles from shore, so I am not sure why he was out here; he must have gotten lost. I caught two nice yellowfin and two big Dorado so far today. The boat rocked so much last night that I hardly slept. Finally, I tucked some dirty clothes under one side of me and managed to sleep a little bit. We ended the day by catching a lot of Dorado fish. The sunset tonight was amazing. It was so beautiful it took my breath away. I don’t know of a time when I have felt closer to the Lord than tonight.
