SY "Kamu II" at anchor, in the lee of the island, at 5 m depth, on sand with isolated coral heads (very good holding in between the "bommies").

Matt: Trailing a few relatively short, c. 50 feet long, 200-pound test monofilament fishing lines with multiple lures behind our SY "Kamu II" (our favorites: cheap rubber squids or wobblers, often without a steel leader in front of the one-inch hooks), landing delicious dorados aka mahi-mahi, tunas and trevallies and varying our pescetarian diet at sea, but without unnecessarily "playing" a fish or killing a fish just for the fun of it.
DM Konni: Visiting every now and then the big-big, very mean-looking but rather friendly 2.50-m long residential giant moray (Gymnothorax javanicus) at its wall-cave home and avoiding coming too close to the most aggressive (but fortunately not the most dangerous) titan triggerfish (Balistoides viridescens) who guards its nest right under our SY "Kamu II's" keel and fearlessly confronts me, with its dorsal spine erected.
