Off to Marsh Harbour



 

 

 

Sunday, May 31 to June 6, 2015 (Days 30 - 37)

This week has been filled with FISHING for Marlin.  We practice fished the beginning of the week since we have never really done this fishery before.  We saw several fish and hooked up to one.  The Abaco Tournament started on Thursday and we caught one of the first Blue Marlin.  At the end of the day we were in fourth place overall.  One Blue Marlin was landed, one mahi escaped, and one GIANT who knows what managed to show Dave G. who is really boss.  On the final day we lagged behind the "professional" boats but managed to finish 7th overall in our first Blue Marlin Tournament.  A total of over $500K was given out in prize money.  We are extremely pleased with our first tournament.  

Day 1 - Marlin Striker is 4th

Final Results - Marlin Striker 7th Overall

The morning was filled with housekeeping chores and then off to the beach for the afternoon.  Gabby (Afterwires dog) loved playing on the beach and swimming.  I cannot express just how amazing the water colors are here and the water temperature is good also.  Although neither Bill or I are beach goers, we have really enjoyed the beaches on this trip. 

We will be doing a cookout on the back of the Marlin Striker before we leave for the Abacos in the morning.
