Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. We started out with tough conditions at the lighthouse with wind against tide, so we anchored. It got very good with plenty of action around the boat. We ventured out for SeaBass and it was tough with the conditions shortening our drifts, but there were nice fish to be had in the 3 lb range. The pool winner was George Reid with a 2 1/2 lb Porgy.

An absolutely majestic day aboard the Viking Starship today. We set sail under clear skies, calm seas, and unlimited visibility. An encounter with a hammerhead shark commenced our adventure, staying near (and long) enough at the surface for all to get a good look.

The whale began a series of tail slaps revealing the unique ‘snow white’ undersides of its flukes, which can be used to identify…
