Scott's big catch today |
Another successful hunt today for Scott & Matt! The guys sure are having fun with the diving these days. Every morning they get up, check weather, & call each other on the radio to make dive plans. The reef off of Ocean Beach is quite a ways from shore so they don't spear any fish unless we are there in the dinghys where they can just quickly dump it in a bucket. It is not a wise thing to swim 200 yards to shore with a bleeding fish. We don't see sharks often, they mostly just mind their business....but they are definetely out there. Our brother Danny saw a hammerhead hanging out right under our dinghy his 1st day in the water. 2 days ago the guys took the dinghys out to the reef & Scott speared a good size fish. He quickly swam to the dinghy (which was very close by) & hopped in only to look back at the water and see a 6 foot shark right on his tail. The adventures never end on the high seas!

Jib is always trying to make friends |

Jib dug a hole & tried to bury the lobster....he's never done that before! Guess some instincts are kicking in. |
While today was warm & sunny, the weather hasn't been great lately. Yesterday it rained most of the day & tonight we are expecting heavy winds. Green Turtle Cay is absolutely one of our most favorite places...

What's not to love?! |
BUT...boats seem to drag in this anchorage more than others. And for some reason this year, we seem to have a dragging magnet. Even other boaters are joking about it. Malaika has been dragged down on by other boats 5 or 6 times this season! On Wednesday night, a massive catamaran almost took us out. Scott had to get in the dinghy & protect us from hitting. At midnight of course. Just as that disaster was diverted, another catamaran dragged right past us & slammed into a beautiful million dollar boat. Hearing the crunch of fiberglass hitting is almost nauseating. Anyway, looking like its gonna be a long night. We'll probably go to bed early so we can take turns doing "anchor watch". As I mentioned earlier, the adventures never end on the high seas!
