Holy Sh*t!!

A travel blog entry by bezdomnytibber

What a day!! today was a great one.. the day we've all been waiting for (all of less than a week infact)!! We got to go shark diving. For those of you that don't know, this essentially involves chumming the water: dangling huges chunks of fish ...

Shark Hunting

A travel blog entry by bezdomnytibber

It's been another great day.. today we learnt how to handle the juvenile sharks. We went into the pen which they keep off the back beach, and learnt how to catch them in a net and pick them up by hand without losing a finger. The young ones really ...

Heaven and Hell

A travel blog entry by bezdomnytibber

... what the hell I was doing cowering under a plastic box for shelter from the wind, on a distant lagoon, somewhere in the Bahamas, several miles from the nearest hot chocolate and warm bed, freezing to the point of losing all sensation in my toes. But ...

Tiger sharks and guano

A travel blog entry by bezdomnytibber

Been a good week or two since last I wrote. A visiting course of students from Miami passed through for a week of shark diving and long-lining, and now everything is pretty much back to normal.. if you can call this normal. The highlight of the course ...

LOST

... nbsp;South island: one that goes to the bar (Beach Club) and one that goes to the resort where the party was held (Bimini Sands), and BOTH run straight back to the Lab. Miraculously, despite asking for directions.. TWICE.. and heading out in the ...

Ground Control

A travel blog entry by bezdomnytibber

This is just a test message to see how this thing works. I thought I'd start a blog as there are a few people who wanted to keep track of where I am and what I am up to. Mainly family, but a few bored friends also. I know how annoying it is to get minute ...

Day off

A travel blog entry by bezdomnytibber

... off the north island; alas, we saw none. Later on in the day we headed to a remote Caye in the South (apparently once the home of Howard Hughes) where we proceeded to hand feed sting rays with squid before snorkelling off the surrounding ...

Bimini By Night

A travel blog entry by bezdomnytibber

Am totally knackered after another long day. Last night was amazing - we went out around 1:30am and checked the lines. We headed out on the boat at full speed in pitch blackness, the driver guiding himself by the occasional distant flashing ...

Shock Horror!

A travel blog entry by bezdomnytibber

Evening everyone.. been a quiet few days on the blogging front, as essentially we've been very busy. Also, as of late there is little new to report, though that is not to say that things have been uneventful. There is a visiting university course present ...

Go Regional Air and be a co-pilot

A travel blog entry by hecqs

Regional Air flies twice daily from Freeport to South Bimini. It's a 10 seater plane flying at lower altitude so one gets to survey the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. I was lucky to be seated at the co-pilot seat so that adds up to the experience. It brought ...

Barracuda and sweetcorn

A travel blog entry by bezdomnytibber

Once again, its been a busy few days. As you may have gathered from the photos, sh*tpit duty finally came around. I said it was relatively self-explanatory: basically we dig a hole, crack open the last one, and then transfer 5 months worth of sh*t ...

The Night Shift

A travel blog entry by bezdomnytibber

Just thought I'd say a quick hello and write a brief entry, as I cannot seem to sleep. Not really surprising given that its five in the afternoon here, but we are currently on a night shift for three days as it is mini -PIT. This comes round a few times ...

... of displaying. Like a castaway on a deserted island with the amenities of home, The Bimini Sands resort on South Bimini offered everything I could ever need without having to leave the tiny island. With it's own restaurant and store, I satisfied my ...

Boatful of Secrets

A travel blog entry by bezdomnytibber

Not so exciting news to tell of late.. the weather is a little shitty at the moment, with overcast skies and strong winds some days. Hence there has been the odd afternoon back at the station, largely spent fixing gill nets, sharpening hooks and ...
