Barracuda

Well the fishing as been active, but all Barracuda. The last one we caught had to weigh 10 pounds if not more. The one previous to that had its tail bitten off by something larger as we reeled it in. We throw these guys back because of the risk of cigatura, though some people do eat them.

We finally left Antigua moving over to St. Barts. St. Barts is a very neat island, though with somewhat exposed anchorages. The main (and really only) town of Gustavia is very fun, with great eating and drinking spots in a great setting along the three sides of the port.

Rae Ann has been working on here swimming. Having returned to the boat in the dinghy from running an errand she went to stop the dinghy engine pulling the key and watching it fly overboard. It began to sink very quickly and as the water in Falmouth was none to clear she went in after it fully clothed. Jake, Isabelle and I were completely unaware until Rae Ann appears in the salon dripping wet. She retrieved the key though.
