Fa(i)r Dinkum

 Today we got out on the dink since there were light winds and the Sea of Abaco was calm. We have never crossed the entire Sea of Abaco from Guana Cay to Abaco but today we did. The dink performed as well as it ever has giving us a good ride over and back plus plenty of slow time on the far shore so that Deb could poke around for shells. All in all I believe the trip in the dink was something like 12 miles. Even though Deb probably has ten pounds of shells already there can never be enough.

 Along the way over we happened to notice one of these crites floating along near by so we slowed down and did a few circles around it to get some photos. I suspect we were in about six feet of water and the tentacles on this baby were dragging on the bottom. Certainly this is not something one should consider swimming with and we are glad we were in the dink when we ran across it. Once over on the far side of the Sea of Abaco (see the GPS track 'Far Dinkum' we were a bit dissappointed to find out the beachs were covered with debris from boats, garbage and weeds. It wasn't exactly a great walk along the shore. Oh well ya win some and lose some. Maybe next time.
