Hi Everyone, We did make away from Kingston on the 16th as planned, we did not cross that night. We instead crossed in the morning. Those of you who have received my email already know it was not the most pleasant crossing ever, not the worst either. As it turned out we choose the correct day. The next day would have been truly horrible and perhaps dangerous to enter Oswego. Two coast guard vessels were outside the entrance to render assistance, and to turn fishermen back into the harbour. Today all the sails are off, the booms are down and the [View Full Entry]

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 [View Full Entry]

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 [View Full Entry]

Or: (sing it)" It's Better in the Bahamas". In preparation for my future around the world flight I thought; 'Start small Tom; a nice easy trip to the Bahamas'. Learn how to fly 'international'. Apparantly US Customs doesn't care if you leave America. Flying out of the US turned out to be very easy. Get in your plane and go. No flight plan. no clearance. Josian and I had our passports, money, full tanks and two safety yellow life jackets. Beautiful day. No problem getiing to and finding Marsh Habour(MYAM) airport. About an hour and twenty minutes. Huh? The runway [View Full Entry]

Who knew that such a wonderful treasure was hidden right here on earth! I had never heard of Abaco prior to coming to the Bahamas and I am pleasantly surprised and awestruck at the natural beauty of this island. The Abaconian Rotarians showed us a wonderful time in Marsh Harbour and took us on mini adventures to Treasure Cay (pronounced "Key"), Green Turtle Cay and Elbow Cay/Hope Town. The photos speak for themselves so I've attached several so that you can see what we have been blessed to experience firsthand. [View Full Entry]

Mishay's Reflections: What an awesome opportunity!! I have enjoyed fellowship with Rotarians in Cayman Islands, New Providence, and now Abaco. Our hosts have afforded me the opportunity to experience their fabulous cuisine, rich culture, religious worship, and schools in the Islands. I promise you, the sights that tourists access do not begin to compare to being immersed in the culture and experiencing the day-to-day life. I have enjoyed dining on island cuisine ranging from Turtle with Pigeon Peas & Rice with Carl and Hazel to Conch and fish prepared in native dishes with our hosts in Nas [View Full Entry]
