Fishing for Booby Birds?
Today was a big day on the boat...The charts came out! Looking for fishing spots, looking for fishing spots....
We circled and put the spinnaker up, although it did not last long as our wind died about 3 minutes after we raised it!
This is what is looks like after 35 years with a mustache when you shave it off cuz you are going diving!
yeah, this is what the spinnaker looked like when we realized it was time to take it down...
We did manage to catch one little Mackerel..
We found lots of Booby Birds following our fishing lines...
Then, the silly things, managed to catch our bait!
We joked that we were having fowl for dinner, not fish, but we threw a towel over him, released him and he was just fine!
First time for catching one of these, we have caught bats and pelicans before...
Just some pictures of all the birds off by Little Tobago..
Interesting rock formations...
Peggy decided that she was going to feed the birds, but they would not come close for the bread...
We stopped by the headland for lunch (it was 2 PM by this time, definitely time for lunch!)
Gary was going on his second dive...
and i jumped in my with camera...Everyone is wondering how the viz and algae bloom is going, well this is about how the water looked like..Cloudy, murky and still green!
I did come across a spotted eel...
A filefish...
Another Spotted Eel...
And I did run across our diver looking very comfortable!
Brent was practicing surfboarding on the ama of Promenade...
Bazza was on a tear fishing today, by the end of the day we were doing something called "bottom bashing" drifting around in the middle of nowhere fishing off the bottom losing weights mostly!
The sunset went through many different totally different color reincarnations tonight...It was very nice!
And dinner tonight, a bit of Mackerel that we caught and a bit of Mahi that was frozen (not nearly as good!)
Still more of the sky tonight, it really was beautiful. We are off the old customs house by Maho tonight, very few boats around...
