Off to Marsh Harbour

The trip over to Marsh Harbour from GTC was rather uneventful although I am finally able to fish. It keeps Jim free from incessant questions and allows me to concentrate on something primal.
Caught a nice mackerel while trolling a spoon but tried to bring it over the hull instead of going to the platform. Rookie mistake as it shook the hook and swam away laughing. We'll call it catch and release.
Had some rain showers in the afternoon; hopefully washing away some of the salt we had build up on the trip over. Viewed a massive yacht near Guana Cay in the ship channel. If size matters, it mattered. But for being the biggest, I'll admit it had beautiful lines.
At the entrance to the marina in Guana Cay, we witnessed a float plane land. The pilot had to put down in some rocky, churned up water. I hope the passengers were ready for their bumpy landing and rolling taxi ride. It touched down in the direction of our sailboat so it was fun to witness.
Made it into Marsh Harbour in the late afternoon and found some suitable deeper anchorage off of the ferry dock. Settled in and enjoyed a nice sunset and even better twilight on the hook.
