Remarks: All going well. Tokyo tomorrow. Kevin caught
another nice Mahi Mahi, 42". We had explained breaking the rod and
losing the reel to Stanley with tour boat 'Pink Dolphin' in Chichi
and he said someone left a heavy duty rod and reel on his boat and he
doesn't use it so he gave it to us. Thanks again Stanley.
