George Town

Nurse_SharkTwo weeks after our first Bahamas landfall, we’ve made it to George Town on Great Exuma Island, Bahamas. Apparently it takes more than two weeks for the senses to adjust to waking up everyday in paradise, for we haven’t yet made the adjustment. I hope we don’t get too spoiled to it because I don’t know how we’d beat it. We made the 38 mile offshore run to George Town today from Galliot Cut. While anchored there last night, I caught a 4 foot nurse shark off a 5 ExumaSound_Dolphin_1inch bait fish that I caught during the day off a 5 inch lure. (That should improve the gene pool for the stupid 5 inch fish species). It was an experience getting the shark off the hook to throw him back, but we finally succeeded. We got a keeper today when I landed a 39.5 inch dolphin (mahi mahi, not Flipper). He’s all filleted and in the freezer waiting to be grilled.

We’re trying hard to adjust … I think we’ll eventually do it.
