Last day in Morgan's Bluff

December 28th. Our last day at. Morgan's Bluff, Andros, Bahamas

Tom came over this morning to listen to Cruiseheimer's at 8:30 and then stayed for the Tech. net that follows. I downloaded the GRIB files to check out the forecast wind for the next few days and everything looked fine.

Then I spent the majority of the morning fishing. Although I hooked a few edible panfish, I didn't land any. The ultra light rod that I was using didn't have enough set to get the hook stuck in their mouths.

After lunch we walked the beach with Barry and Susan to get a little exercise. When we returned to the boat, we decided to look around for another lobster. I got the mask and fins on and pulled Kathy in the dinghy with the look bucket. In about 30 minutes we found one and after a couple of dives had enough for supper.

Later I tried to catch some bait fish to drag behind out boat tomorrow but failed miserably. Barry was catching them hand over fist right next to us, but I didn't ever have a bite.

We boiled the lobsters, cut them up and put them in the refrigerator to cool. Then, we made a salad and put a layer of chopped lobster on the top. Sorry.but it was wonderful with a buttermilk ranch dressing.

Video before bed as usual. and we set the alarm for 5:30 to travel.

PS.our radio email address is kd8fqd@winlink.com We'd like to hear from everyone but please keep things a little short..no photos, jokes etc.

PPSS. Ellie we need you to research how to call London from the Bahamas. We have your sisters' phone numbers but don't know the prefixs.. no internet here. thanks
