So were on our way home, we did our crossing from the bahamas. 30 hour trip from great sail cay to the st. lucie inlet. we got boarded by the coast guard in the middle of the stream. they thought we could fit more people on our boat then just us 2. they thought we were smuggleing people into the states. then they came on the boat and realized that would be a joke! during the crossing we had a fish jump into our boat. is was so calm we were watching movies in the cockpit. a fish came and hit me, i was like what the hell was that then we saw the little fish flappin around our feet! after we got boarded we put out a fishin line, to try and catch another mahi ... read more

We've been in the exumas for a while and theres no internet down there but it is beautiful! i cant remember what i said in the last blog but since eluethra we caught our first fish and many after the first one though was the biggest fish. brendan held it up and it went from his eyes to his ankles big dolphin! it put up a good fight too almost an hour trying to wheel it in! ill put the picks up they do more justice then words! so i think the last time i wrote we were in the abacos still. since then we traveld down to eluethra. it was nice but were not gonna go there next year. although we saw old port ... read more

i had to make another entry to put more pics on the site. but we went out today to get some dinner for tonight and we came back with an ocean trigger fish and a few more conch! and spearin fish is so cool. i was using the hawaiian sling today and its pretty much like a sling shot. you pull the spear back in the sling and aim at the fish and hope you get it. it took me one shot and it went right through. just like i knew what i was doing! then the fish jumps around alittle bit, tries to swim away but just falls staight to the bottom of the ocean. not too many fish can swim with a 5ft steel pole sticking right through them! oh and i wanted to ... read more

Alright everyone so we figured out how to spear our dinners. We went out and bought a pole spear and a hawaiian sling. Brendan yesterday went to test all the new gear out. His first mission out he came back with a big lobster and a grouper. it was a good catch but i was hungry and we were having laura over for dinner. so i sent him back out. he came back with a big 15 pound greater amberjack and another grouper! i was impressed!! he speared them all with the pole spear! we had enough food for our dinner party. he cleaned them all up, he still needs some practice, but got everything done and then i started cookin. theres nothing like fresh cought and cooked fish and lobster. its another day and im ... read more

hey everyone, we are in green turtle cay! we have been here for a little while now, snorkleing everyday, fishing, and meeting all kinds of great people! there was a big party last night at the club. the best band in the bahamas was playing. they all had a few drinks so i dont know if they were the best last night but they were pretty good still. captain brendan had a few too many too early so the first mate trevor sent him back to the boat to get something to eat and hopefully drink some water too, he got out to the boat, made some pasta i guess and passed right out.. so he pretty much left me high and dry on land while he was having a nice sleep on my bed back ... read more
