We spent 4 days recuperating in Great Inagua and I found out the importance of the Tropic of Cancer. After this point, you aren't protected by the islands further north and you have to deal with the deep open ocean with all the waves and currents. That is why we had 8 - 10 foot seas coming from all directions. I have to admit, Larry and I were about to turn around and head back. But, after relaxing a bit and watching the beautiful sunsets, we are ready to go again!
I got a fishing permit in Long Island, so I have been able to try and catch dinner. I have lost 4 lures to the dang barracudas, so when we had a barracuda hanging under the boat for days, I couldn't resist the temptation... I had to teach him a lesson.
I took my pole and rigged it with a ballyhoo and dunked in the water, then when the barracuda came I pulled it out. We did this several times a day for at least 15 minutes and yes, I do feel better getting a little revenge!
And I caught a Mahi!
I couldn't believe this triggerfish wasn't skittish at all. I was feeding him and he probably would have taken it right from my hand.
