Our first day in the Bahamas started out mighty fine with Captain Dan and 1st Mate Antonio, along with all the crew docking the boat perfectly at Big Game Club. Alan cooked up a breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon for the whole crew. Jeremy, always a wheeler-dealer, met a local Bahamian and was offered a truck in trade for his snorkel fins. Landon climbed palm trees for coconuts. The weather kicked up a bit so Ruston took advantage of the downtime to do two hours of APUSH (Advanced Placement U.S. History) homework. Ruston also found a cool conch while snorkeling. Not to be outdone, Garrett discovered part of a house underwater while snorkeling close to the beach. Gabbie went snorkeling for the first time and used her underwater camera. Luke caught a small fish in the harbor and used it as bait for a bigger fish. Well, the shark took the bait and gave him quite a fight before breaking the line on a dock piling (not the shark’s first rodeo!). Devon knocked it out of the park by cooking up pork chops and rice for dinner. It was fantastic!
Tomorrow we plan to share some South Mississippi red beans and rice with our Bahamian friends at a local Easter Monday beach party.
All is well here in Bimini.
