| this one did not get away.... |
In the morning, Connor and I went to say good bye to 'Isla Bonita' and to deliver the dog vitamins to Denzel who lives on the top of the hill. We met him yesterday and I had promised to bring them along for his dog, Ralphie. I was very grateful and offered a shell craft that he had made. We were also thankful to help out and to have something special to bring back to the boat. We pulled anchor and headed off to Georgetown at 9am. Dharma was also heading in our direction as well. I had a line out hoping to catch something on the outside deep water. It was pretty quiet. Dharma had asked several other boats if they had caught anything so far. Not too out there today, they were saying. Just as we were heading into Conch Cut, into Georgetown, I saw a school of fish jumping out of the water. Kerry adjusted the sails and we sailed over the area where the fish were. Within seconds, something hit the line and started running. Yikes. I didn't really want to catch anything. I pull it in and determine that it is, indeed, a Tuna. Connor ran in to get our guide book to determine what kind of Tuna it is. A quick flip through and reading of each attribute, we determined that it probably was a Skipjack Tuna. Kerry cleaned it and we had a wonderful meal that evening. It sure beats canned Tuna...but, it's so much easier to open a can!
Georgetown doesn't seem as busy this year. Only a few boats were in each area. We landed near Volleyball beach as this is probably where we will be spending a bit more time.
Georgetown is a wonderful place for those who enjoy the community of boating. In the morning, there is a cruisers net on the VHF where they have weather, community announcements, and boaters announcements. If you need your hair cut, a part for your 1976 refrigerator, help with a engine problem, just announce it on the net and someone will respond with helpful information.
