Georgetown to Black Point
Thursday March 25, 2010 Left Hamburger Beach (Georgetown) at 7:10 am ( Iguess the reason it's called that is because you can buy a hamburger at a little restaurant on the beach) and headed out in the Sound (Atlantic) which was a bit rough but not ...

Boatful of Secrets
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 ...

The fat lady sings
Oh boy , our last port and it's a doozie. This is the Bahamian Island that Holland America Line has purchased and outfitted for only its passengers. Another ship, the Westerdam, is also here today so we don't have it all to ourselves....but ...
Bahamas!
One of the senior partners at my firm had a time-share in the Bahamas that he couldn't use so he raffled it off to the employees at the holiday party and I won! I took three coworkers/buddies along for a weeklong, five-star boondoggle at the Four ...

Lucayan National Park
We visited the Lucayan National Park. Another sad disappointment. Again, being young and never before having been out of the US, I expected something different from the term National Park. However, like the rest of the island, there's no ...
Catchin'
