On To Jumentos

Sunset Rum Cay

Sitting at Flying Fish Marina in Clarence Town Long Island.  We have been here two nights waiting for a front to move through.   

We had to bail out of Rum Cay after one night due to the front.  We had dinner at "Bobbie's" house.  I will write and entire blog on that night later.  One of the most interesting characters I have ever met.

Sea Side Village Restaurant

We will be leaving here in the morning at first light to head 80 nm to Raccoon and Johnson Cay in the Jumentos.

Conch Salad

Sea Side Village

Another world class spear fisherman and the current Bahamas free diving champion Luke Maillis and his sister Oceanna were our hosts.  We ate conch salad everywhere we went.  Tonight we had Sushi with Wahoo and Conch at their house.  It is 9:51 pm and Oceanna, Ryan and Sam are hunting pigs up Island.  Great folks....very different???

Lemon Shark is Hungry

Once we arrive in the Jumentos, we will be 60 nm from Cuba.  This is almost as far south as you can get in the Bahamas.  Ryan has been reaching out to all his contacts, and the president of Headhunter Pole Spears directed us here.  It will be the perfect spot as we are looking for Hog fish, Conch and Lobster.  The island chain will protect us from the 15 kt east winds that are forecast for the next 5 days.

Jim, Ryan, Sam's Catch

There will be no cell service this far south, so my next post will not be until at least Wednesday of next week when we get back to civilization.  Hopefully we will have an epic underwater hunt.  I attached a few more pics from earlier this week.
