Gerry spent the afternoon setting up fishing gear and Linda worked on the blog and other computer things. We don’t get WiFi here so we are using our phone to get access to the Internet.
We hosted happy hour and dinner on our boat. The menu included margaritas and sangria for happy hour and tortilla soup and enchiladas for dinner. These are two items I usually make with leftover turkey and, even though we had no leftovers, decided it was appropriate to carry on tradition. Gerry had picked up some cooked turkey at Publix yesterday, so Linda whipped up the soup and enchiladas for everyone. It was a nice evening.
After everyone left, Gerry went outside to release the small Bonnet Head shark he had caught earlier. In the process, he kept catching fish. We now know what a Croaker looks like – he caught 6 using a fake stinky worm when it was dark. He also thinks he got a small black sea bass. He didn’t keep any, so no fish dinner tomorrow. It also gave him an excuse not to help with the dishes.
There is no TV here, so it was off to bed to get ready for another day on the beach and some fishing.
This is looking out at St. Andrews Sound
This is the barrier island (Crooked Island) that separates the Gulf of Mexico from St. Andrews Sound. This is the area we spent a couple of days exploring
A small cove on the island
Pelicans in a row
.... and a small sandpiper scurrying to beat the wave as it hits the shore
You can just barely make out the boats in the distance through the seagrass.
Our dinghy anchored on the shore
Gerry enjoying the beach
... and Linda taking a break from shell collecting
Sand, sea, sky and clouds all seem to blend into one
Gerry caught a Bonnet Head Shark
Emotion III seems framed in the sky and its reflection.
Approaching dusk -- beautiful
