We spent a few moments exploring the tranquility around Hog Cay this morning - hiking and investigating some underwater caves.
We weighed anchor at 10am for Allans Cay near the top of the Exuma chain. We arrived after 7:00 moments before the sun set. It was another busy day fishing and we were all proud of how we handled each catch. For 15 minutes we are a well oiled machine...reeling in, sails down or de powered, engines neutral, moving boat if needed, grabbing net, providing assistance, etc. these are all things that need to be done and we all share the tasks (especially Connor). The last guy was our largest fish...a 4-ft bull Mahi. The most amazing thing was the water was glowing with other Mahi swimming by as we were pulling in the fish. Tonight we offered the fish remains off the back of the boat. It's always exciting to see what shark would pay us a visit. Connor was on watch and piped up..."someone's here!". It was another large nurse shark. After a few tentative pass bys...the Sharks gently grasped the fish, thrashed a few times and the fish was gone. Another exciting end to a great day!
