Well Brett had this brilliant idea to ride our bikes to Isabella on the North Coast from Esperanza on the South Coast, to clear out of customs. The ride was interesting  with us seeing wild horses and lots of pitbulls that came out to say hi… not! Anyway we made it, cleared out and then proceeded to do some touring and visiting the 375 year old Ceiba Tree, which was pretty cool.

On the way back we stopped at the Tin Box for a much needed break after all the hills we climbed. Brett’s bike has 6 gears while mine has 3, not sure how that worked! The food was amazing and the breeze at the top of the hill appreciated.

We left our spot at Sun Bay, which was very busy at the weekend with boats over from Fajardo, PR enjoying the soft sand and warm waters.

Heading South East with 15-25 KN Easterlies, Brett put the fishing lines out for the first time since Johan had left.

We were on a north bound tack as we couldn’t sail tight enough to the seas to reach St Croix in one tack. I saw some birds on the surface and so we headed in that direction. Low and behold the Dorado ate our artificial squid lures. We hand lined them in. Seismic Wave has now officially ended its drought hooking 2 large Dorado’s (Mahi Mahi), that Brett used as arm weights during his afternoon workout.

Brett filleted the fish on the way to Christiansted, St Croix where we flashing the BBQ up and enjoyed a fest with a well earned beer or 2. There are 9 more feasts to come.
