Solo to Abaco

After the boys go home I spend a week solo in the Exumas, do some boat maintenance, chase some bonefish in Pipe Creek and then take the boat to Abaco via Eleuthera.  The weather even cooperated! Speaking of weather, it has been fantastic here this year.

Swimming with the Sharks

Keith & Trevor snorkel with the Nurse Sharks at Sampson Cay.

Our chef (nephew Trevor) prepares the catch; nothing like fresh Mahi!

Sailfish!

Nice sail, big surprise!

Big Bull

Nice Bull Mahi, we released several big boys.

Keith with the two we kept, along with some Blackfin Tuna. These Mahi fed us all week.

Boy's Week Fishing

Brother Dave and his sons Trevor and Keith fly into Black Point Exumas for a week of adventure and fishing.  We had a few really good weather days and best of all, the fish cooperated!
I'll post some photos as soon as I get a faster connection. Most WiFi here are satellite so slower than dial up and just can't handle much more than text and limited browsing (no downloading).

Cam & Meg Arrive

Not sure without looking at the log book but from January to the end of May, Sylvianne I cruised around the Exumas, hooking up with  "Krogenites" and other boaters; some we knew and others we met, then Cam and Meg arrived in George Town for a short visit.  We had a really great time.  Meg won my heart with her enthusiasm for not only fishing but reeling in her own fish (guys this is work) and then she not only cleaned the catch but prepared sashimi and ahi tuna, serving it up with raving reviews from the other boaters amongst us.
Thanks Cam & Meg!

Love DAD

Exumas update

Been away from reliable WiFi.  Can't afford to do this from the Sat Phone.  So where were we?? Ah, yes, the Keirs' visit.  We dropped Jim & Nette (Jeanette) at the "Airport" on Staniel Cay, really just a good ashphalt strip.  After a few hours' delay they finally boarded and departed. It is the Islands, mon.  It was great having you guys on board!

Bitter Guana Cay

Here we are again, Bitter Guana Cay.  The Exumas Iguana is an endangered species but this is one small island that has quite a population.  They are not shy. We suspect that people are feeding them although posted signs ask people not to.  Bitter Guana is uninhabited (by humans) and in addition to the iguanas has a nice beach and amazing sandstone formations.
