New Orleans to Bahamas 2013

Another beautiful morning in the Berry Islands. This anchorage is gorgeous. We are in the middle of some of the finest bonefish flats. There's shallow water in every direction. Bonefish flats in every direction. We're in the middle of this. There is narrow path to this anchorage from the ocean. At night we when return in the skiffs we have to take round about ways to get back to the boat because the water is so shallow at low tide that our 4 inch draw skiffs can't make a direct route.

Yesterday we thought we hit low tide when we pulled up to a flat to fish. We anchored the boat in 12" of water: thinking the tide was going to start coming. We had our tides wrong. 3 hours later when we walked back to the skiff, it was high and dry.

Needless to state; knowing your tides in these out islands is key.
