Fresh Fish, part deaux
... we would like to get underway by 1100. They were able to make the moves to be ready to go, and we led the way out of the anchorage through quite the smattering of reefs. With more than just scattered clouds this morning, it was quite the process trying to spot the clear and deep water.
