Grouper... they taste a lot better than they look. This guy is a Nassau Grouper. The season opened February 28, but it took a while for us to get one. They're very good at hiding in the reef. This one took a lot of effort to get out of the coral - 2 spear poles and a gaff - but in the end he made a great meal for three boats (ours and two we're traveling with).
After fishing in Flamingo Bay at the Northwest corner of Rum Cay, there was an opportunity to do some SCUBA diving off of a nearby reef. Kelly from s/v Kwitcherbitchen and Pat from Jubilee teamed up for the dive and Joe from Onward volunteered to stand by as the safety officer along with Drew. It was a great dive on a wall of coral down to 91 feet in gin clear water.
Following the dive, Jubilee, Kwitcherbitchen and Onward went over to Sumner Point Marina on the south side of the island where we will be staying during the passage of the next cold front. On the way over we hooked a nice sized Amber Jack.
More later . . .

Glad to see apost - it's been a while. As always, it looks as if you are having some amazing adventures. Everyone looks so healthy and happy. We enjoyed talking to Emily - don't know why we got disconnected. Have a great Easter and keep posting!
I've been waiting for a birthday picture post so we could wish Drew a happy birthday. Since you haven't posted, we're saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DREW on our own :-) Hope you had a great day!
