Then you've got more experience offshore than me!

I've done coastal for the most part, apart for a couple of solo crossings... But I'm good at dealing with any shit that the ocean & weather throws at me, that I feel confident about...

Who knows exactly what will happen in the future, I'd be happy to take to the sea again, but would need some deck hands who get it!

One thing I enjoyed doing was handline fishing off of the stern. I caught what would have been a world’s record marlin in the sport fishing world, but had to attach a floater to the line because it had sounded so deep that we had run out of line. The thing was about 35’ long from the tip of the bill to the end of the tail. It was huge. We enjoyed big thick marlin stakes and marlin hamburgers for a long time. (Could not sell it due mercury accumulation.)

I see, sounds great!

Stopped fishing when I was a teenager, that came from this deep, Buddhist reflex that I could not ignore. But of course I'd be OK fishing to survive if I have to :-)
