Who was running the drone?

Hey Tony, I'm running the drone and my wife is driving the boat.

I didn't look, but I think we were only doing 15-16 kts; there are lobster pots everywhere in this area and the light made it hard to pick them out. I wish I'd be flying the drone earlier in the evening- we were moving a bit faster and went through a wave that came up to the rub rail forward and blew spray sky high. I would've been an awesome shot....

Beautiful! I wish my photography skills were anywhere close to this...

What’s this black thing at the rear of the cockpit? A barbecue? Cos if it’s a barbecue, that’s the most important thing on any boat!

Yannis, yes the black thing in the cockpit is a grill. I don't like the way it looks, but it's inconvenient to take it on and off the boat every time we're going to use it, so it just stays there.

Max, it doesn't look any worse than the bait tray on the stbd side.
If you ask me which of the two I would eliminate, please don't ask me!
In any way, the grill is better looking and far more useful than the second outboard that sticks out at the stern of most outboard driven boats.

I know food is your first priority, but the bait tray makes a good board for cutting up the limes for the drinks.

Haha, precicely Tony, and look now at the sense it makes:

At starboard, on the tray, you prepare the bait, in the middle you catch the fish, at port, you grill the catch.
Looks like a perfect "production line"! Not even model-T was so efficient!!

PS: Lime is found only in big supermarkets here in Greece, there is simply no market for it. We use lemon by the tons instead. Gin tonic is not such a popular aperitif, and when it is, they put lemon. Some may argue this is a sacrilege. I remain unscathed by this debate!!
