Wow, Steve, nice report. You can eat the puffer fish, but why bother picking off all dem spines when there's so many better fish right there. Is it spearfishing you do?

Day 5

Woke up @ 6:00, sat drank coffee, Woke my partner up at 9:00, ate breakfast & off for a snorkel over to Bobby Cay.











My partner took the opportunity to sit & relax on the beach at Booby Cay, while I went for a short (I thought) trip around the island. The water was very shallow on the one side of the Island & 15-20 feet deep on the other. I was able to catch another 18 lobster in the 4 hours I was gone.

I was pooped out so I offered a gent with a boat 4 lobsters for the boat ride back to PV. He was very happy to look after us. We spent the balance of the day in the ocean & on the beach. We had to rest as our 13 year old son was to arrive in Mo-Bay @ 2:20 the next afternoon.

Day 6

Woke up early, went for a swim till 9:00, and made breakfast for my partner. Richard picked me up at noon sharp & we were off to Mo-Bay to get the young one. Made a quick stop at the super “S” in MB on the way to the airport. Picked up my son & back to PV to get him settled in. My son had is gear stowed & was harassing me to go for a snorkel before I could finish a red stripe. I spent a few hours teaching him on how to use a spear gun safely. On the way back from our first trip my son was able to catch two 13- 16 inch lobsters. He was proud of his efforts

Scuba - what a wonderful journey!! Your photos great!!

I have never been diving - I usually do not like my face under the water ..... I see I have been missing out way too much adventure! Maybe this trip I should have to learn - it looks like such a thrill!

What a lovely child you have as well!
