Conch again!

 

3/30/2010

Departed the Marina at Cave Cay and Romeo decide to go north for one day and then travel to Georgetown the following day.

The waves and wind will be going the right direction for smother  and faster travel.

Romeo anchors the boat by a nice beach by Big Farmers Cay. 

Romeo relaxes and watches Juliette look for conch (big snails) after there walk on the beach.

Juliette has finally found a live one that is a keeper.

 

This is a nice one!

 

Juliette spends a long time cleaning the outside of the shell with sand.

 

Romeo ups the dingy back on the davits almost every night.

Juliette plans to make lights out of the conch shells and feels this will be a nice one.

See the digger, it look’s like a finger nail. This is how they move around, the water also helps, the shells are very heavy for them to drag around, but its their home.

Can we just let it go?

Alright I guess I will clean the damn thing.

Are you sure you will eat this?

Juliette prepares the conch for cooking. Romeo takes it out side to crack it and smashes it into a paste and realizes that he has over done it. Juliette puts the pastes in orange juice to marinate.

Just sitting down for dinner we think we smell smoke!

Romeo opens the cover to the engine on the port side and discovers the location of the smoke.

The bilge pump on the port side engine is smoking and it is toast it will have to be replaced. Never a dull moment.

CHEERS!
