Moving North

We finally have a weather window after 10 days and have left Massawa, Eritrea to continue north. On our way we stopped at Harat Island and relaxed for a bit with snorkeling and dinner. We left Harat at 3am so we can reach our next destination in the daylight. The highlight of the day for me was catching my first fish of the trip (maybe a type of mackerel - very nice white meat) on a lure I made from trash. Sietse, who is crew on Mistral (the organizer's boat) showed us how to make lures from the tops of old soda bottles and the liner from a wine box. At least 3 of us have caught fish on these lures. What a great way to recycle and save money on lures!
