We met a guy named Victor that came into the Rum Cay harbor yesterday. He’s been coming here for years, originally from South Africa. He told us about so many things on Rum we didn’t know about so we stayed another day. I suspect it will take at least 3 more days to see everything he told us about… sea glass….. snorkeling….. fishing. Speaking of fishing I went with Victor, Jeremy and his dad Bobby Little deep sea fishing today. OMG………….. we caught 3 blackfin tuna, 8 yellow fin tuna and two bonita. yeah.. I know! (I caught the most and the biggest fish) I brought in a nice 20- 25 pounder. We caught a lot of 15’s and had two big wahoo cut our line. What a phenominal fishing trip!
After cleaning the fish we ended up with a 5 gallon bucket overflowing with pure tuna meat. The two bonita were cleaned for Bobby’s animals. He said they make fine cat food. Luckily we have soy sauce and wasabi on onbard so tonight we had the freshest sushimi anybody ever ate! My heavens it was good. If we were at Tokyo’s Sushi restaurant in Beaumont….. the meat we ate would have cost us $100 bucks. We ate until we absolutely had enough…. that’s never happened with tuna sushimi before because it was cost prohibitive. You eat until your not hungry at a sushi bar… tonight we ate until we were full!
Tomorrow night Bobby is cooking us dinner, sushi, sashimi, some other words I’ve never heard before but they sound delicious. Linda is making cookies and her wonderful cold slaw. Suddenly Rum Cay is very attractive and we aren’t leaving soon!
Sea Ywal Later !! Rusty
