Perspective is on the move again and we will start actively posting on boat projects which have consumed us for the past couple of months. We arrived at Isla Isabel (21 50.832’N by 105 52.722’W) yesterday at mid day, and on the way in hooked and ‘landed’ our first marlin. She was 5-6 feet, and after bringing her along side the boat we released her back to the wild. We briefly thought of bringing her onboard, but that much fish was a bit overwhelming!!!
We plan to depart Isla Isabel tomorrow headed for Bahia De Los Muertos, then continue to La Paz. Chat with everyone soon!
Best Wishes,
Brad, Sarah and Sydney on SV Perspective

Wondering where we are? http://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/Perspective
Was Sydney excited about the marlin?
No. She’s always freaked out when I land a fish. She’s such a pacifist. I’m sure she believes kibble grows in trees.
That’s absolutely amazing. What a picture!! The great Marlin that everyone’s would love to catch. That must have been a real fight. Love to read your posts, keep sending those over. Continue this great adventure.
That is one incredible Marlin. Glad you released it as it was a real fighting fish and you have a fragile craft! One picture is worth a thousand words.

Sydney eats marlin kibble? You have trained her well my friend (and I’ve eaten your fish – it tastes nothing like kibble… well almost nothing 😉 )
How goes the sail north?
JP is enjoying high school so far – not so keen on the homework aspects but we’ll get there, he is also training for his black belt later this year. Aidan is becoming quite the sportsman – he’s the downball king, he is also grading for brown belt this year.
We’re about to head off to France – the boys and I will be back mid July and she will then head off to India for work, she will be away nearly 2 months. Its all happening!
Stay safe you three!
