Daughter's birthday trip
Special 8 hour trip for Steve Held on April 11, 2025
Daughter Rikki is teaching in Kenya with the Peace Corps, so was on spring break and I came to visit her and give her some time away from her usual. We found Captain Suheil on Fishing Booker, he went out of his way to make our trip special. Early on three lines hit at once in a school of yellowfin. Rikki landed two of them, the third got off. Later I caught my first wahoo, which I'd been looking for. One of the coolest things was watching a marlin skate the surface spraying water from the bait ball. The crew was terrific, three men total, instead of the usual one in the States. That night the restaurant at our Airbnb/hotel ran out of fish, so we donated some to the guests in Kenya for a wedding. They ate well :-) and we've got plenty. Lol, donating fish steaks to tuk tuk drivers and folks along the way.
