2016-05-10 - to Little Harbour Cay, Berry Islands

We left this morning around 11 to make the crossing to the Berry Islands.  Before leaving you need to gain permission from the harbour control.  Harbour control informed us that a cruise ship was about to enter the harbour.  We bobbed up and down for 30 minutes and then it came into view.  Huge ships these are!  We waited until the pilot slid her in beside the Disney Dream.  We were on our way.  It was a very bumpy ride most of the day causing us to feel a bit queasy (not Kerry, of course).   We were fishing (naturally) and caught a very big Mahi again. Dinner is served!
The fun of the evening was putting our fish remains in the water tied to our boat to attract shark friends.  As the sun was setting, 3-4 small shadows appeared behind the boat circling in and out for the fish.  The Sharks are so cautious - it took them 30 minutes to take one bite.  Then, we finally turned off the cockpit lights and went to bed.  In the morning, we pulled in our line.  No fish and a frayed line remained.  I am going to miss hanging out with sharks.
