We suck as fishermen..

We used to think we were pretty good! BUT, we have always had bad luck with these guests on board! There is NO full moon, we have the right bait, we have trolled around some of the best fishing spots in the BVI, and our sum total is two little jacks and two little squirrelfish! Tonight it was Tarpon about 6, Promenade fishermen 0! Tarpons spit out the hooks left and right..
However, they could have caught a bird or two!

One of the first things every little charter captain learns, when they are about 6, is DON'T feed the birds!! We will have these billion birds following us around and sitting on our boat crapping and yelling for food for the next 5 months. We know, we have had it happen before! Must be something to do with the fact that we are no good at fishing lately!

Yesterday we stopped off the corner of Steele Point to do a dive, have not dove on that side before. There was more angelfish then I think I have seen anywhere else!

And some nice anemone, which are about my favorite thing to take a picture of, I think I like all the colors

This morning, we told Richard and Lisa that they could take the power boat out for the day and do some dives, and we would run the charter, it really is not necessary for us to have 5 crew members on board here! Lisa had everything ready and was ready to totter off right after breakfast! We decided to go down and see what we saw for birds and try and troll around Tobago, so off we go, only to come around the corner on Tobago and who do we see? The Bingo Bus! With the divers!!



Lisa, being smarter then the average bear, figured about mid morning was moccha frappucino time on the boat and pulled up long enough to grab those! Can't even get rid of them for the day!

I was quite ambitious this morning and made a nice fresh bread shaped like a turtle for lunch! I think we mostly ate bread and butter for lunch!

It was good! Then we had a request for some shopping over at Sopers Hole, so off we go. It was the typical after lunch run, everyone is full, had a drink or two, had a snorkel and then something strange happened. My husband picked up my camera and took some shots!! Very unusual. This is his view for the sail over to Sopers this afternoon!











I am not sure there was anyone left awake!
It was quite amusing over at Tobago, someone lost a hat overboard, and we told B to jump in and rescue it (I believe it was some type of man overboard drill!) Unfortunately, he had to fight with the gulls for the hat! They wanted it as well, but B was victorious in the end.

It was Bazzas cocktail hour tonight, and he did a "Survivor" type game with them. The one question that stuck out in my head was the combined age of everyone on the boat. it was 809!!

Bazza and I must have really brought down the average though! Ha.
Here is a few more underwater pictures. A nice little cow fish

A fish who was determined to protect his eggs and kept on running right up to me.

And a nice little puffer fish!

Before dinner is when we caught our two little jacks, and then we had a great steak dinner tonight!

Before we attempted to catch Tarpon. We did have the pleasure of watching Eagle Rays swim into our lights at the back of the boat, that was nice. I saw this Ray in the water today..

That is all, it is almost midnight and time to go to bed!
