Madsummer's in town

I was able to put a bandaid on the throttle linkage for the dink making it possible to head out to Spoil Island for another shell hunt. Heck it's only 7 or 8 miles on the sea of abaco to get there. Spoil Island was created when they dredged out the 'basin' for cruise ships that were intended to visit here at Guana Cay. Since Madsummer fills up the frame in the photo, you cannot see the island laying off to the left. But it's there. If you look closely at the photo you will see the starboard side opens up at the water line. Pretty cool. There were people in there working out on tread mills and such. I bet they have a great view to work out with....
But we made it over to spoil island and found a few more shells to add to the collection.


Tomorrow we are very fortunate to hitch a ride with some folks to our next stops Treasure Cay and Hope Town. January 12th we should be at Sea Spray and that will be as far South as we go (this year anyway, more on that another day).

What a yacht.

And note the fleet of tenders. While some boats like Aussie Rules (Greg Norman's tub) carry sport fisherman yachts as tenders, this one seems to have a different design point. In other words, if you have this kind of coin, you can have a boat meet you and leave room on the yacht for uncluttered aft decks (my personal preference and some day I may clean ours up).

There were a couple of other mega yachts out there in the basin today, but they pale in comparison. I'll upload some additional photos to the bucket.
