Well we went fishing with Lyndon andhis nephew Fron on Tuesday. It was a bust. Lyndon told me he had never been skunked. Now he has. Not sure if it was bad luck or I got "took", but the sport fish boat next to us in the marina who is a pro, fished all day and hooke only one fish, so maybe it was just a bad day. We only fished a half a day, had boat chores to do the rest of the day.
The marina at Davis Harbour was perfect for us. Extremely low key, a hole in the wall, no amenities and priced right but they had a big washing machine that Cindy took advantage of. Got a great hike in yesterday morning early and pulled out moving up the island of Eleuthera 40 miles or so to an anchorage just south of Goverment Harbour. We hiked the town yesterday, found a little store with an ice cream bar, the first ice cream in 6 weeks or so I think. Found a bar with a beer late afternoon and today I am going to try and work. Last week the internet was crappy and had to bail on work. I am more optomistic today. Tomorrow we may get going extremely early. We need to negotiate plce called Current Cut, where the tidal flow reaches 5-6 knots, and it would be nice to go through at slack tide or close to it. By my calculations, the slack tide will be 2 hours after Nassau high tide, which puts it around 10 am and it is 30 miles away, o may leave in the dark. We'll see what the weather gives us. Then on Saturday on north into the Abacos with a tentative plan to cross back to Florida late next week.
