One of our new neighbors, Blue Angel invited us over to tour and to go over their charts of the Bahamas and boy was it worth it. On top of learning a lot about The Berry's and Abacos I now know what a "real" spear-gun looks like and how to use it. Now all I have to do is hit something, a fish or lobster I mean and not one of us!! Wish me luck as I think there will be a big learning curve!!!
Jim and Sharon were great in showing us some of their anchorages, fishing spots and in general a good option for a route to take when we go over. It got both of us excited and we can't wait to go and see this for ourselves. It just looks so beautiful and ready made for a boat like Grey Hound. They have only had Blue Angel, an Albin 40 for 2 years now after owning a Bayfield 36 for a long time. They are from Grand Haven, MI and have the distinction of being a "Looper". For those of you that do not know what that means, it's a boat that has done a complete loop of....through the Great Lakes, down the rivers from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico, around Florida and back up to the Great Lakes!! It's a huge effort and we have heard some wild stories.
This is a picture of their home now.........
We finished off the night on Blue Angel meeting Joe and Mary Beth who are sailing on Pot O' Gold, from PEI Canada......lots of fun!! Thanks everyone......
