Long Island Continued

The "Mail Boat" which is ferry and supply boat as well arrived, but sat at anchor by us until high tide before moving in to the dock.


Here is the mail boat the next day after being mostly unloaded.
Thursday Bob and Jim went off "hunting and gathering" again and Mindy and I sat by the pool at Long Island Breeze. Here is photo of the pool with the Pretty Penny in the backbround.

Jim had caught a Barracuda and used that for bait fishing off the back of the boat. He managed to catch a Nurse Shark. Here are photos of the shark. Nurse Shark are not good eating and are not dangerous. We let it go, but it was fun to catch.

Anybody hungry? You won't be if you eat a meal prepared by Trafinna at the Thompson Bay Inn. Cost was $15.00 per person! Great Bahamian Fare

Jim and Mindy left at 6:30 in the morning heading to Deadman's Cay Airport, then to Nassau, and back home. We enjoyed their company and will miss them.

Sunday night was exciting. We had heard that the shuttle was set to go off at 7:43 Sunday night, so we were on deck watching the NE sky. Shortly after it took off, we saw this cloud formation light up in the sky. What a thrill! It lasted about 20 minutes.
