Bills and Pixels - Day 1 on the water

Day 1 of the Occhio adventure found us about 30 miles offshore in the typical flat calm Pacific Ocean off Quepos. We started the day with a meeting in the cockpit discussing our tactics for teasing sails in close enough for Marc to get the shot he wants while Luke shoots video of the whole process. The first two fish we raised didn't show enough interest to warrant the guys jumping in but they gave us a chance to work on our timing. The next fish showed up right where I like them to appear, on the short right teaser. After chomping on that one he switched to the left teaser as Marc and Luke jumped in. The sail did a few turns all lit up but not close enough for good shots. We retrieved the guys and threw out the teasers again.


We ended up raising a few more, getting our timing down and getting Marc and Luke in the water. While we didn't get the shot that Marc is looking for we felt like our day was a success. We just need a bit more cooperation from the fish!


Upon our arrival in Quepos we were greeted by an afternoon rain shower. This gave Marc a chance to jump in the pool, rinse his cameras off and see if there were any sails in the pool. 


We're back at it tomorrow as the Occhio Frenzy continues...
