1/21/06 Time to Relax

I was invited to take a Saturday off to go for a little cruise. Geoff met this guy, Arthur, who owns a couple of boats that he is fixing up to sell over at the Prickley Bay Marina. Arthur is currently broke so he was looking to make a bit of money and we were looking to have some fun. We took off around 9 am with such a good wind that we only put up the jib and had a comfortable sail around Point Saline to Flamingo Bay.

Several of us brought our fishing rods so Geoff and I trolled some lines behind the boat. We parked the boat in Flamingo Bay for about 6 hours, lounge around, went swimming, and drank several Caribs.

During that time I finally caught my first fish worth anything; a small jack! On the way back while trolling I also caught a small Barracuda that I sent back. We finally returned to the marina at about 9:30pm. We all had a great time and you just couldn’t beat the price!
