Thanks for being born, Dana, Catherine and Scotty!
We interrupted our day with a bit of sailing. Switching between broad reach and wing on wing a few times gave us an average course of what we are aiming for (270° vs 220° when we’d like 252°) as well as a variety in boat rocking motions. These changed interrupted reading the Happy Isles of Oceania, catching a dorado/ mahi mahi, playing chess and battleship, watching sunset with rum and lime, making dinner…
This fish was a baby, I’ve been told…I’ve eaten an infant. I heard over the past month about the colour show that occurs, rather, ceases, when this fish dies. Unfortunately it must have been on the line for a while, as there was a hole in its cheek L It passed quickly in the cockpit on the boat, where its spiky dorsal Mohawk was deep aquamarine and its flank golden with navy spots. After its life was taken and its soul transferred to us, its shine faded to a blue that matched the overcast day. I lit incense as a new ritual, a smudge of thanks and blessings for the life forsaken so that we could continue with ours.
