Yeah I was only joking.
Yeah I was only joking. Didn't actually think you dropped a bait into that depth, just having a look. Good effort if you did! Must have been nice conditions out there today.

30Nm to the trench
About 30Nm to the eastern end of the trench is where you hit the 1000m curve.

Do you take your passport with you
I think you must go trawling of the coast of Madagascar.
Seriously, do you go that far in a single boat or travel with company of at least one other boat, that is a serious distance off shore. And what size boat are you in, sorry for all the questions but that is a very impressive trip you went on.

Nice bottom pic!
I've got a brand new Furuno setup that I want to try soon, hoping to get similar performance.
