Bobby Little, sculptor and marina owner/excavator/pilot/surfer/fisherman/chef

Arrived Rum Cay, Sumner Point Marina, yesterday, glad to see this beautiful place again and see Bobby Little again, and JJ (who was just a young boy last time we were here!), and catch up on the doings at Rum Cay. Bobby today looks pretty much as he does in this 2007 photo (from his website, cropped so you know which one he is!).

More on all of that later... we have been to a potluck dinner, snorkeling on the reefs twice, and I got to make contact with my two summer-semester classes both yesterday and today because the marina has Wifi. That's a Good Thing.

Today's snorkeling trip was so much fun because we saw one of the giant Rum Cay lobsters, about 3' long and thick. They have gorgeous designs on their carapaces. I'll post pictures tomorrow if I can get enough bandwidth to upload them. 12 Days Later!!! Augh, I have the lobster pics uploaded, but in none of them did I include Derek or Grant for scale. The silly thing could have been 6" long from what you can tell, but Rum Cay really has large lobsters. It was about 3' long, with a thickness similar to your thigh, and about 15' below me when I shot this picture:


However, you can see for yourself that the lobsters around here are large from this shot taken by the owners of the marina of an in-season "lobster night" in preparation at the marina's restaurant:


When we went up to the potluck, we heard splashing in the water at the end of the dock where the sport fishermen clean their catch upon returning. It was shark fins breaking the water. Although the light was starting to fail, I was able to get this picture of the sharks milling about beside the dock:

Fins to the left! Fins to the right!!!"
