Ruben and Sasha will share on this blog when they feel like it. Maybe David too. This post is dedicated to a proud moment for Ruben. He’d like to share a picture of a yellow fin tuna that he co-created with Michelle.
It took them several hours of research, following a YouTube tutorial, drawing, tracing and coloring. Ruben laminated the yellow fin and it’s now our first picture up on the boat. I hear it’s a good luck charm for our own fishing.
On the topic of fishing, I’ll also share a photo of the impressive equipment Ruben and Olivier purchased for Omana in Red Hook.
We’ve already learned that basic hoop sets (literally loops with fishing line attached, they’re at the top of this image in light blue) need to be modified with a better end piece — the leader. Yesterday while sailing we tried fishing and one of our lines came back to us with a missing leader and a small piece of seaweed attached, almost as if the fish had made a swap. Proper leaders are made in tougher materials, like stainless steel, or thick fishing line.
