May. 1, 2008 - More sea, sand and fish

As promised in my previous entry, above is a photo of sea and sand (the Tobago cays) but as we've been catching so many fish recently I couldn't resist adding one of Hugh and I landing a 'giant' Barracuda as well.  The bottle in my hand is full of rum and one quick squirt kills the fish - a better way to go than being clobbered with a winch handle. We've had 3 of these barracudas recently and they taste fantastic.  I also had a 40 lb Dolphin the other day - the fish not the mammal - otherwise known as a Mahi Mahi and we has so much meat from it we had to give over half away.  We are currently in Grenada to drop off Hugh and Susie and pick up Robbie, Fi's sister, then its off back up to the Cays and Caraicou etc for a few weeks.  The weather is now really hot and the wind has dropped so its true Caribbean weather ie, sun burn and heat rash!!  Hopefully a really nice last month in prospect before back to reality.
