Compass Cay to Emerald Bay

"Baby Turtle" (about 2' in diameter) Bob found under a ledge near Hetty's Land (near Black Point) when hunting for Grouper,  Bob popped up and said "Quick, hand me your camera!"  Good call and Good shot Bob...  better to "shoot" a picture than a Grouper for dinner?  

 One Lion Fish down...hundreds of thousands to go!  This was our first Lion Fish dinner, Bob was carefully shearing the poisonous fins off it, once it had it's haircut it looked like a footfall with a big mouth!  A very tasty fish, looking forward to getting enough of them to make ceviche.
 Bob has been spending WAY too much time down here...our very clean engine room that has been getting a lot of attention lately.  John James, our Emerald Bay mechanic and Bob are putting the generator back together right now and we hope that very soon we will be looking at the island below shown on our chart from Fernadez Bay...  Land of Ericka Harris, new Mother of little Michael Navin Harris.  The chart shows the location of their grocery store, "Issies Store"  I have finished all but my last elective for my WI real estate license, and though all course work can be dreadful, at least my view is better than a MN classroom!
