Heading home through Ábacos
Mon 1st Apr 2024 - There was a mass exit of +/- 30 boats leaving the staging area anchorage before sunrise this morning, we’re all heading to the Abacos. Exciting times! We hosted our Code Zero sail to begin our journey but eventually the wind disappeared and we resorted to engines. There was a bottle neck as all 30 vessels transited the first cut into the Abacos Bay, who needs that? We continued on for a few more hours north and entered the bay via Tilloo cut, closer to Marsh Harbor. Fishing was a little more productive today, Rob at least hooked a huge marlin which he involuntarily ‘released’ after several seconds 🎣 We know it was a marlin as we both watched it tail walk in spectacular fashion, probably just to taunt us. 🐟 What an adrenaline rush, too bad Rob was not able to land it but he said it was too big for our fishing gear anyway. 🤷♀️ Marlin are a catch and release fish, never dinner. Once we were in the bay we anchored in the southern part of Elbow Cay for the night
