January 4th, 2009 White Point, Great Guana, Exumas

We left Big Majors at about 8:30 with calm seas and blue skies heading south. Passing Black Point, we continued on a few miles to Isaac Bay. There are coral head here as well as some good rocks for fishing. .

We arrived at about 11:30 and were in the water by noon. On the first coral head we got one lobster and Barry killed a few lion fish. There was another lobster but he was so far under a rock that we couldn't get a spear in him. Lion fish are an invasive species with no predators and will soon take over the place. We saw a few last year and this year they are everywhere.

At the next spot we saw a nice grouper but they are out of season at this time so we let him go. Kathy and I found another head in deeper water where we got three more lobsters. While we were snorkeling "Fine Lion" pulled in and Steve and Kim were soon in the water.

After 3 hours of swimming I was pooped, so we returned to our boats and decided to go back north to White Bay for the night. In Isaac Bay there is about 3 inches of sand with rock underneath...not good for holding.

We hauled the anchor and furled both of our head sails for the 3 mile run. It was pleasant traveling at about 3 knots in the warm afternoon sun with no engine noise.

We anchored in White Bay where there is a great beach. Later the six of us met there for some wine and cheese. When we returned to the boat I used some of our canned beef to make beef and noodles. We also heated up some green beans and had a great dinner out of cans..
