Geoff & Kim Shepard joined us for what was to be our toughest charter yet. Even in early morning Port Vila the wind was brisk, a prelude to what lay ahead.

Geoff is in the marina business back in the US and was extremely interested in Port Vila’s facilities. He sees a big opportunity…

We fished the FAD off Mele Bay first up in 25-30kts and then trolled downsea up the Marlin Highway to Port Havannah without success, although we had reports of a couple of tags in the vicinity.
