Hey, storyhounds. This is the first Fenncast… in which I crew aboard Adelaar (shown above in Tom Bowling Bay, NZ), a 35m gaff-rigged ketch from Suva, Fiji to Bay of Islands, New Zealand in November of ’88. With a big old boil on my knee.

Some shots from the passage…

On deck.
Skipper’s wife and German girl prepare to cast a lure. We caught a huge mahi-mahi on that passage. Got a picture of it somewhere — will post when found.
I had two pairs of manta shorts. I thought they made me the raddest dude in the Southern Hemisphere. Note the remnants of that fetching boil on my right knee.
