I sailed in a 40ft. catamaran from Ireland back to the US, with my father in law. It took 37 days to get across, the flying fish was so fun to watch. They looked like a flock of birds coming out of the water, they would fly for a long way. There was a bunch of them, at night they would land on the boat, there were some mornings where there would be 10 or more on the boat. Crazy little things.
We would take bets when we saw one take off if it was going to be able to land without getting eaten.
