Mahi are here in numbers. Tried to get out early with the kids before school and work. Assumed it was too bumpy out, but kids were begging and already awake. Got out Tilloo cut, but just too rough to get to the fishing grounds at any speed with tike to fish and and get back in the 23. Fished off the dock with coffees for a bit and found a greedy grouper to kiss and release. Hope it wasn’t our last chance offshore before heading to the states Thursday.

Full day and two tired boys. Fished this morning. Too rough out deep but trolled reefs. Mutton & Hog 🐠 for dinner. Stopped by to chat with peeps in the harbor before a big exit this week with the good weather. Fair winds everyone. MOW for some diving, pool for a quick beve, Jumping off the dock with Aarons kids to end a long day in the ☀️. I may be biased 😉 but these stays are fun. 8.5 hour day on the boat, about half that moving, 25 miles. Would have never guessed that.

Still waiting on diving weather on the outside. But always something to do in Abaco from any wind direction. The rocks in the far end of the bite of old Robinson have super healthy coral 🪸 for a fun swim with kids or beginners.

Wind coming up fast today. Had a very brief window and two excited boys. Got sharked on a Cero and never found the Mahi. No real bird action. Now for coffee ☕️

Beauty of a day. Kids chased fish for a long time in the morning down in the shallow lee of tilloo. Dove a couple wrecks in the Point Set channel and MOW channel. Headed to Scotland to warm up with plans to do Sunday Funday at Guana, but the hundreds of boats headed that changed our plans. Cruised back to Tahiti beach to meet some friends and finish the weekend. And a special surprise SeaPeople hat delivery to a SeaPeople PLUS user and new friend.

Tried to dive with the boys up N but it was too windy. Hit up some kid spots on the inside.

Little morning troll before school and work. Feels great to be settled into Hope Town. Boys woke up this morning pulling out Wahoo lures but too rough offshore. Found some hungry yellow tail, a little Nassau grouper, and a cuda along the inside. Everything is back home under water… today. 🫧

Alby spent the week at aquarium camp at Pine Knoll Shores, NC (highly recommend). We then spent the weekend hanging around the Crystal Coast: fishing, island hopping, minnow chasing, and enjoying every drop of sunshine.

Hours of running after minnows in the shallows should = a good night sleep for the boys tonight. ICW was a zoo today. Summer has arrived on the NC coast.

Yep, that average speed is correct. Felt like we crawled all the way up I-95. So much traffic. But also felt like the speed of light after doing the ICW the past few days 🤪 We put the boat to bed for the season and are headed to the mountains for some Spring/ Summer fun. Visited the MOSH in Jacksonville while it was raining one morning. Found an incredible playground in Avondale of Jacksonville (Boone Park). Hammocks Beach Marina in Palm Coast for our “Spring Break” stop of the ICW.

Paddled the boys to Tahiti Beach for a lunch break and swim. 💕

Kids are with grandparents so Logan and I went on a sunset test track date 😂 in other news…. Alby is an aspiring weather reporter :)
