BMW Gozo Weekend

John at the helm of Mischief

I did the BMW Gozo regatta last weekend. Wind bad. No wind. Sunday we had a race from Gozo back down to Marsamxett and we had a light to moderate wind and I helmed nearly all the way which was really cool!

I have made my first big catch of the season. Barracuda: 2 kilos.
Caught a very small one last week and lost a few too.
