Looks like we are practicing The Wave here!

And this is last nights dinner pic...

Here it looks like we are practicing country line dancing but I would not think that was the case!

We had a very nice calm night at Muskmelon Bay and a morning was spent water skiing, wake boarding, snorkeling, etc etc. All that kind of vacation things that we do so often! It was not until about 2 or so this afternoon when we finally left here and were absolutely amazed to see how much the seas had calmed down ! And the wind! Calm enough that we could get out the trolling lines and going around the outside fishing. At first our fishing looked like this....





We often find with "fishing" that WE fish, not the guests! Eventually, after naps were done, we did manage to get some participation!







The big catch I think was a needlenose! But we did get a small mackerel for eating....

and a small tuna for appetizers (yep. blood in the picture)

While we were going by West Dog about 5 this afternoon, it was looking about this flat, and we stopped for a snorkel...

Roberto and I went for a swim anywas...

I kept on laughing as his mask constantly filled up because of his moustache! He was stopping to clear often.

We did not see much spectacular and not a lot of fish, although the rocks and boulders were very pretty...





We did have a couple turtles. On our way back we saw both Simeon and Brent freediving into a cave to check it out....

We found a ton of bird activity...

Unfortunately trolling through their we managed to catch a pelican, and really the line was wrapped around him, not hooked in him....

We reeled him in, pulled him on the boat...

Threw a towel over his head to calm him down, and Brent cuddled him...

Then we released him to fish again another day!

Continued on up to Mountain Point and had dinner...

Another late night for us, the days seem to get longer as the week gets shorter as we are trying to fit everything in a day! I hear rumours that they caught a little Reef Shark tonight!
