Island Life

[Deep C]

Settling into life in islands... Some things just like being home or in Jersey. Some things different. The marina we are in takes some getting used to. Kind of ok. Not best shape docks but power and water are good. Place is basically full but not a crew man in sight. People for the most part just parking them here and maybe have a dock attendant check the bilge or give them a quick rinse.
Transient boats come and go which at least brings some fresh faces around to talk to. Surprised to see how many see our Sea Bright, NJ on our transom and turns out they are from the same area. Hangin with some of the resort staff the accent rubs off and a call home has my missus saying "what?' a lot. I guess since shes South African and speaks with a British type accent its only fair to make her work a little understanding me .
Mid day has been too hot to get much work done so early morn and night is the time to get projects done. Being hot slows appetite down to a crawl so I find myself having to force feed myself and hydrate my self. Mid day though is an excellent time to go for a swim here and there. Allows me to scout spots to wet a line. A couple times this week I picked a fresh mutton for dinner... Pop em on the George Foreman and nuke a can of green beqans its a meal fit for a king.
Got a few "pets". A spotted eagle ray just does laps around the marina while a barracuda has adopted our hull as its shady spot. Urchins and starfish move slow but add to a neat looking back drop in the gin clear water for what is slowly becomming "home".

Yo boet phone the "She who rules the home", and Praat de taal, met a Marmsbury bray, tell her the snook are thick as planks!
Monie worry nie, and stop running up and down the beach barking like a dog, so the neighbours do not swim after passing ships

We've set up camp in da Bahamas. Using Nassau as our jump off base to Chub, Bimini, Cape Eluthera, Abacos, Great Harbour. Becomming a conchfritteraholic... Not fishing quite as much as I would like but beats a five month stretch in Jersey where we only fished like ten days last year.

Your not missing nothing but nostalgia in the garden state deep.....regs are getting out of control and your passion....the cobalt missiles are just not what they use to be.....we will take a few trips out to the misty blue area and perhaps the tip of the trunk or the 750 square if the right water shows up....but other than that were going to do some whip tail fishing for the first time and try and get an eating size one for the table....other than that were reduced to bottom fishermen.....a sad state of affairs for sure

Depending on schedule I'll head up with the rolling tackle box and might make a shark tournie or two. Am booked freelance already for the wmo and am available for the Ma500 right now.
