Happy New Year everyone! We left Bimini and headed a little south to Gun Cay (pronounced "key") to wait out the weather. It is supposed to be 20 knot winds all day today and into tomorrow. So we will plan on leaving to cross the Great Bahama Banks on Saturday. It is about 80 miles to Chub Cay so it will take us two full days. Now we are just sitting tight in windy conditions. We have had to reset our anchor several times already because the wind made us drag. We hear Gun Cay is great for lobstering so we are going to do some snorkeling today and see if we can't pull in some dinner!

Dave caught a Barracuda yesterday on our trip down to Gun Cay. We sedated him with vodka enough to get the hook out and get a picture, but we hear that any Barracuda over 5 pounds can be a potential carrier of Ciguatera poison which makes you painfully sick. So we had to throw him back and eat canned chicken with dinner instead of fresh fish. :(
