Whoohoo Wahoo!
07 February 2013 | Landrail Point, Crooked Island
After nearly 3 wonderful weeks we left the Bight of Acklins and sailed (yes, that's right, the thing you do with the sails out and the engine OFF) up to the tip top of Crooked Island. It is time to leave the Bahamas and part with our good friends that we have been traveling with since Georgetown. We are anchored here at Landrail Point tonight under a bazillion stars and will leave in the morning for the 24 hour passage to Provo, Turks & Caicos.
Today was a red letter day at sea! Don caught a lovely wahoo and is as excited as a little kid that just got his first bicycle! When he landed him we both looked at the fish, looked in our fish identification book and couldn't figure outnwhat it was. Fortunately for us Bruce and Gina on DreamCatcher changed their sailing plan for the day and wound up in the same anchorage. Bruce came over, confirmed it was a wahoo, showed Don how to fillet it and we have a bunch of fish in the freezer, even after giving some to Bruce to thank him for his assistance. Yippee. The 6 year long curse of catching only Barracuda has been lifted. Thank you Lord!
P.S. the cats took one look/sniff and could have cared less about the catch. All the more for us!
