Thursday, 18 June. I think we set a new record on conch. Before we left Nurse Cay, we did another dive and ended up with 50 conch, all of which I shucked and Deb cleaned. We should have conch all the way to Panama! Conch salad, conch fritters, cracked conch....... We left Nurse Cay about 3:00 PM and sailed overnight through the SW North Atlantic to this tiny group of rocks/islands on a reef that rises from 2000+ feet in the middle of nowhere. It is sort of in the Crooked Island Passage if you look on a chart. We figured that since it was not in any of the cruising guides and never got visited, it would have great reefs and fishing. Well, maybe it did - 20 years ago. The reef formations are fantastic - arches and caves lots of different kinds of reef, but it all looks like it died 20 years ago. Now there is just algae covered dead reef and very few fish. We did catch a couple barracuda trolling on the way (this seems to be the only thing we catch lately!) so we tied them to the stern of the boat at anchor and watched the sharks come and eat them at dusk. Cheap entertainment, but what can I say? We were so disappointed in the reef that I am glad we did not plan on spending tomorrow here. Instead we will sail to Hog Sty Reef, a coral and limestone atoll that is also well off the beaten path. Hopefully it will be more vibrant.
