We spent the past week in the Exuma Land and Sea Park. The entire area is a "no take" zone with sea life in abundance, lobsters and grouper seem to enjoy meeting people as opposed to being afraid, the water is "gin" clear 86 degrees and the beaches are pristine. After a week in the park we sailed in the sound south to Great Exuma. Whenever we are sailing on the sound our fishing lines are out and yesterday was no exception. Our first fish on a line was a 3 foot Barracuda which we promptly returned to the sea next we lost a tuna and then a Mahi Mahi. So being 0 for 3 we were more than excited a little later when two lines got a hit at the same time. Katie grabbed one and I the other while Hoku coached us both on how to land the fish. 10 min. later after a good fight with the lines we both scored a Yellow Fin tuna. One of the best ways to prepare tuna is to coat the outside of the raw fish with ground fennel, black, red & white pepper, salt, garlic, cinamon, nutmeg, allspice, red onion and then searing the fish on each side in butter, even Hoku likes the sushi when fresh! The picture of a Bull shark was taken in the park and is a reminder we aren't at the top of the food chain when in the ocean. He would visit us several times each day while we were in Cambridge Cay.
