Wednesday (cont.)

Another screaming reach back to Long Cay and more conch and lobster.  I watch Claudio catch lobster.  He grabs two and three at a time from under one coral head, in one breath.  I try to hook a lobster, but he gets away. 

Kyle and Elias are catching fish.

Back out to the deep blue sea, now rolling at 6-8 feet, we circle around the southern edge of Lighthouse Reef.  Several more barracuda are landed, but a few are lost after being grabbed by some really big fish that snap the 30 lb test line.  One strike pulls all the line from the reel before we even get to the pole.  Some favorite lures are lost.  After slowing down several times for fish, the girls are done rolling and we duck behind the lee side of the reef.  Past Hat Cay (renamed Denise’s Island), we anchor in the breeze behind the reef.

Denise and I grill the lobster on the boat.

Could we possible squeeze more into a day????
