The boys are going fishing in Otter, the dingy. It’s a breezy day however lots of places to duck into and fish off the shallow waters. They buy bait at the fuel dock and use the leftover conch from Bimini. Heather and I wash the boat from the salt residue and then head to the beach to take in the sunshine. We spent most of the day outside so by supper we are a bit sunburned and over sunned. The boys fished for about 5 hours. They came home with a catch of mutton snapper, which they filleted, and several other fish that they released. They were so busy catching and releasing that they didn’t eat anything more than their sandwiches that were packed for lunch. Scott caught a stingray. Joe attempted to release him from the hook all while the ray kept trying to curl his barb around. No video as they were busy trying to save the fella. They did get pictures of the various other types they did catch.

Meanwhile we were at the beach looking for shells and wandering the shoals at low tide. We did get a bit busy when we picked up smaller coconuts to throw at the ripe ones hanging in the palm trees. We both still have great throwing arms and did manage to have 1 fall. We were worn out before anymore wanted to fall.

The boys joined us at the pool for a warm swim. Then home for a bite to eat before the cold front came in with winds. We made it an indoor movie night.

Last day in Chub and we notice an oil slick at the back of the boat. Scott decides to check out the pods, swim platform and hydraulics and determines it isn’t our boat. The rain comes down for a few hours cleaning off any left over salt from the wash yesterday. We’ve decided to head to the Nauti Rooster for pizza tonight but not before the sunset comes out and we hit the pool one last time.

Off to Nassau in the morning.
