When we in Cane Garden, there were surfers. Fortunately, we were far enough
back to avoid most of the swell.

Rough current there.

If you swim off the point on the up current side,
there is all kinds of activity in the standing wave.
Some big ones too.

We had a big Tarpon hanging out under the boat
at Norman Island. I will be posting some pictures
of that later.

Fish seem to like that.

When I was at the Indians last, some guy climbed the bigger of them and
almost fell off. He got scraped up pretty badly.

Here are a few pictures. It was a new camera and I
accidentally took a few movies instead of pictures.
I was trying to zoom in all these cases thinking I was
taking still photos. I have no way to upload these
videos.

I have two short videos of whales that actually show
more than a still photo would. I also have a few
short videos of Mirabella and Mirabella V.

Email me if you want me to send them to you. It may
take as while as I'm travelling for the next few weeks.

I pulled my camera up to take a shot of the Indians from the Norman Is.
side, just about the time a gaff schooner sailed past on the other side
between the largest rocks. Made a great shot. I had it professionally
printed (my own printer was junk at the time) and it hangs on the wall of my
den. The Indians are a great spot to shoot nubile young things as well, but
you probably already know that.

WHy don't you post that one, or a link to it.

Nice photos Bart.

Were you sailing aboard Maribella?

Nice looking motor sailor "Ketch1"

About the poacher, you should of called the coppers and held him there
until they arrived.

I can understand a man selling rare fish if its feeding his family,
but to kill bigger fish for no cause but the lack of profit... shows he
is ignorant and has no regard what so ever for anyone else.

Sad situation indeed. It would be smarter putting the locals to work
in a aquaculture co-op.

Anyway looks like you had a nice sail.

I wish I was sailing on Mirabella. Mirabella V is $250,000 a week to
charter.

Wow! What did she cost to build?

Just the pics are pretty impressive. I like the one of Mirabella in
profile with the cruise ships in the background... gives a sense of the
sheer size. It's actually a pretty boat.

BTW I agree about the jib lead. If it was really all the way forward,
and the foot was that stretched with the leach flopping, that was the
wrong sail. Was there not a 2nd track forward, or some other way to lead
the sheet?
