Back at Nipper's!!!

Nice run today.. We traversed most of the “hub of the Abaco” today. All the way from near Little Harbour to Fisher’s Bay on Great Guana Cay – nearly 30 miles. We left at a respectable 8:30am and the hook was down (with some difficulty) by 1:30pm. The difficulty is the hook is hard to stick here. The first attempt failed but the second was a successes.

After a short break we went into to Nipper’s to GO TO THE BEACH. WE had some free water but no drinks today. The beach is beautiful here but just no stuff on it like Karen likes to find. Back to Nipper’s for more water and a little people watching – not much of a crowd here today.

We stopped at the “Buck-a-Book Annex on the way back and picked up a couple of books. We stopped at Milo’s stand and bought some fresh tomatoes, lemons, and and and LOBSTER TAIL. Only $15 a pound but very fresh – just caught this morning!! So he says but I believe him. We are going to eat fine tonight.

Back on the boat to watch a lovely sunset and then get some tail – lobster tail. Ohh we have gotten into the practice of blowing the conch horn at sunset. It’s a fine horn given to me by Mark Haskell -- thanks Mark.

Boy these mild warm days are just training along. I hate to think of what we will have to pay for these later but for now it is great life on the hook. However I only have about 2 comfortable days of water left so we will need to go in for fuel and water shortly. I’d like to time it with some bad weather though.
