6:30 am we leave the dock ,by the time we get to the end of the inlet boat #2 has broken it's fuel fitting to the tank.We hastily (I wish)fix it using hose protectors and duct tape.The trip to the Drydock takes 1 1/2 hrs.In the water by 10a.m.Saw 5 Africans and lotsa jacks and cudas.Manroves ,scamp and smaller fish not legal.1 jewfish 'bout 100lbs.Weather is getting worse not better so we go in 8 miles to some tabletops.Hook'n line during SI nets us triggers ,beliners and big mangroves upto 8lbs or so.We do dive 2 I get a 5lb mangrove and 3 bugs to 6lbs and miss a little hog.See some muttons and a lot more bugs but am up to 10 minutes of deco already so away I go.1 buddy gets 5 nice mangrove the other gets 2.We hook up more triggers and outta nowhere shows up a school of peanuts.We end up with 13 dolphin to 8lbs also.Did 18 kts in till 20 miles and then 32kts the rest of the way in.WT was 71 top to bottom .A good time was had by all.
