A DAY TO
REMEMBER
Trish’s marathon blue
When BlueWater’s Trish and Tim Simpson joined Capt Marlin Parker’s team for a day of

After hooking two blue marlin before mid-morning – one of them a potential heavy-tackle
world record – Trish’s strength and tenacity was tested to breaking point.AUTHOR: TRISH SIMPSON PHOTOGRAPHY: CAROL LYNNE; TIM SIMPSONWeighing only 58kg herself, Trish was
