Well, on the 14th, there were no waves. It was okay, though, some of us read, while others kayaked or snorkeled. Plus, Paul and Geoff caught a yellowfin. While washing the cutting board and knife, I got a little carried away, and basically sliced off the upper knuckle of my right index finger. I am so clutzy sometimes.
However, we did get some waves on the 15th. The guys were pumped and got in morning and evening sessions. While Paul, Timo, and TC surfed, Geoff and Elisabeth took turns on the SUP board. They did find the current was a little too strong, so they ended up getting dinghy service, and then drifted back.
The size of the waves diminished on the 16th, and the guys were spoiled, so they only went in the waves in the morning. However, Geoff and Paul did go and kayak in the surf later in the evening.
Today, we headed west to Katchii Island (Berangu Pass). We heard that the waves will be coming in from pretty much straight north and are hoping that they'll hit here better than they would at Namu Pass. We went across the lagoon to pick up a little aluminum boat that Walden on Katchii had asked if we could bring down to Katchii.
On our way here, we had the fishing lines out, as usual. I actually saw two mahi mahi flying through the air before one of them went after a lure. Then shortly after, we caught 3 dogtooth tuna. Actually 2.5 fish, since one of our fish got chomped on by a shark. After we arrived at Katchii, the boys dropped off the aluminum dinghy and two of the dogtooth, then went out to check the surf. They liked what they saw enough to come back and get their surfboards. Meanwhile, Elisabeth filleted the fish. It was her first time doing so, and she did a great job.
We'll see what tomorrow holds. Right now, we've got to go put up our mosquito nets (this is the one place we've used them regularly).
