She left on her annual Accurate trip last Friday, and now the Q is fishing on the bank, with some success. These photos are from her 2007 trip, when Bill Roecker was aboard. Here are the last two reports from skipper Joe Crisci:

"Let's see. Where do I start? Today was a trying day. Not for the weather be any means, but for the lack of cooperative fish. We did manage to catch some wahoo and some decent sized tuna, but not in any large quantities. However, we did enjoy our day very much. Everybody aboard is a good sport and for the most part understands the necessity to sit it out and put your time in at the rail. That is truly appreciated.

"The weather today is outstanding. Relatively flat seas, slight breeze, and intermittent periods of sun and clouds. As I sit here and write this: the sunset is absolutely beautiful, there is fish on the meter, and I am anticipating a green flash.

"Well...we got to the Bank and got the anchor over the side at approximately 430. This was after we caught some bait and did some looking around the Bank for signs of fish. At just before daylight, the majority of the group got up and started fishing. This effort went on the entire day. For the most part everybody stuck with it and worked as hard as they possibly could to catch the fish we caught today.

"For our efforts today, we caught some wahoo and yellowfin tuna. No monsters or anything. It was just an enjoyable day at the rail, fishing. The weather continues to be outstanding. We were afraid it was going to be a scorcher and then the breeze started and then a nice cloud cover came over. It ended up being ideal conditions all day long.
