Mike, along with friends/sailors
Jeremy Pape and Steve Burke made the
4 day trip from Brunswick to Marsh
Harbor, Abacos. We spent the first
day heading due south to Cape
Canaveral, then turned east to cross
the Gulf Stream. We entered the
Abacos at Walker's Cay and spent the
next two days making the trip
'inside' the islands southeast to
Marsh Harbor. We managed to hook up
a few fish, but the only ones we
seemed to get to the boat were
barracuda. We had a nice dolphin (mahi)
on the hook, that probably weighed
40-50 lbs. But he overwhelmed our
light tackle and escaped - dammit
Steve. |

Jeremy and Steve practice their
landing technique on a small
barracuda - they never had to apply
their skills to anything larger |

Our navigator - seen here praying to
his hand bearing compass and Jesus

famous 'World's Largest Burger'
