To fish or not to fish and other burning questions sailors face

As we sail onwards from the Messina strait, we face ever rising temperatures and weak to non-existing winds. The scenery however becomes very interesting and stunning as we explore the Aeolian islands of Lipari, Salina and Filicudi. Our plans are constantly blown to pieces by the wind or lack e of the latter, and we finally decide to try to making our way to Sardinia by going back to Sicily. On the way there Leo's mostly decorative and non-working fishing rod actually decides to work - or perhaps the fish also perplexed by the rising temperatures decide to go for our sad and slow lure. After some fighting Leo reels close a rather big Tuna, the sight of such a beautiful fish alone brought doubt into the entire enterprise, especially since preaching about overfishing etc... But as if the sight of the one helpless hooked tuna was not enough, his buddy (friend, mate, sister, brother) was swimming in antagonising way behind it, showing no fear to us brutes. Some tears and regret showed on our faces, and it was decided that the fish should be freed if deemed that its chances of survival were high - thus went the hope for a long longed fish dinner. Unfortunately, in the last minute the line broke setting the tuna free, unfortunately with the lure fish, but alive and reunited with his/hers/their companion. Shit happens, and sadly we caused suffering - perhaps the fish survived, perhaps not. We however got a reminder of how precious life can be, as well as how complex and social even Tuna can be, not much different from the dolphins we all love!
