A fish story We left Georgetown on April 17th, 2007 with our new travelling companions - Ivon and Carmel on Taima (33' Murry) along with Alex and Tom on Blind Faith (27' Beneteau First). We inched our way through the many coral heads in the Elizabeth Island and Foul Cay areas and set sail in the deep waters of the Exuma Sound for Conception Island (46 miles). We enjoyed a favourable breeze (N10-15 knots) and a tolerable swell (6-8' - l0 second interval). On route we got a bite on the line of the fishing reel that we have mounted on our back rail. We were under power making 5 knots as we started to reel the line in. The fish started to run with the line and was soon running along side and flipping out of the water and in to the air. We continued to reel it in and soon had a 3' long (8" high) dolphin fish (Mahi-Mahi/Dorado) on the line at the back of the boat. It was very shiny lime green in colour with yellow and blue markings and had a square head (male) - truly an unusual brightly coloured fish. The excitement on board had reached a frenzied state!! Since we had no equipment at hand to get the fish aboard, the fish was left hanging out of the water on the side of the boat as Barry made a quick dash to the anchor locker for the gaff hook and bucket. The fish made a quick lunge at the same time and found it's freedom leaving us with just a tale to tell. He was a beauty!
