We have spent the past few weeks in the Southern Bahamas. Having lost much of the early summer due to lock down because of Covid, we figured we would try and squeeze out a little marlin fishing.<br />
<div>
Historically the marlin bite tends to slow down by mid July. but we have managed to have a steady bite thru the second week of July. </div>
<div>
We arrived in Clarence Town long island after being locked down in the Dominican Republic for three months,Threre were a few other boats fishing out of Flying fish marina. Other than the requirement to wear a mask, It was basically back to normal. The boss flew in and we were back to fishing. we caught a blue marlin nearly every day that we fished. The Yellow fin Tuna bite was sporadic but good when you could get the fish in before the "tax man" ( sharks) got them. </div>

<div>
We headed over to Crooked island one night and spent the night at Crooked Island Lodge Marina. The new marina there is going to be world class, All the sea walls and docks are in but they don't not have power yet or fuel. Chris Higgs is managing the build there and is doing a great job of making it a top notch marina. I fore see it being a new destination for sport fish boats and yachts alike. </div>
<div>
After fishing out of Flyingfish Marina for a week, we decided to head over to Riding Rock Marina on San Salvador. We fished our way across. Off of the NE point of Rum Cay, we caught a nice Blue marlin and lost two other Blues as we Neared Sandy Point at San Salvador. Over the next few days we caught a few more blues at Sandy Point. </div>
<div>
I have said all along that the Bahamas will likely tighten up the travel restrictions again if the Covid cases increase. On Sunday the government of the Bahamas Announced that since reopening their boarders on July 1, The have had a big jump in Covid cases. In response, The banned any further commercial flights from the United States.The good thing for us though is that they are continuing at the point to allow private planes and private vessels to continue to travel to and from the Bahamian islands, The Prime Minister did say that they will access the situation by weeks end. If there is an increase in cases they will consider further restrictions. There are currently no cases of Covid on San Salvador. Everyone arriving here has been Covid Tested. </div>
<div>
The boss has flown home for a few days and we spent the time repairing a few things on the boat and doing a few road trips around the island. San Sal is such a pretty island and the people here are so friendly. I hope for their sake that no further restrictions are imposed<br />

As you all know, Covid 19 came to a head at that time.<br />
We were faced with some tough decisions, The Boarders of the Dominican Republic were due to close and Puerto Rico and the Turks and Caicos had already closed.the weather was forcast to be tall and terrible and unsafe to transit. We could have made the long trip at 10 knots to the Bahamas ( they were allowing vessels "safe transit' to fuel and keep going ) but facing a 60 hour transit with only 2 of us on the boat was an unsafe proposition. There were a few boats with crews of 3 or more crew members that waited for the winds to subside and made the transit to the US safely. We weighed the risks and options and decided with a few other crews to just fly back to the united states and let they new virus thing blow over. Little did we know that we would not be able to regain access to the boat for three months.<br />
We exhausted all resources over the past few months trying to just get a flight back to the Dominican Republic. But after countless calls to the embassy and a number of other options that failed, we settled down and just waited for the boarders of the Dominican Republic to re open.<br />
I don't need to tell you all this was a very stressful three months, not being able to access thee boat. But our trusty Dominican mate Duarte Paula did a fine job of looking after our boat, We arrived yesterday to find the Blue Heaven shining and sitting pretty.<br />
The last week of June was trying. The Dominican Republic said that they were going to open to international travel as of July 1 but after so many disappointing attempts to gain access to the Dominican Republic, we spent the last few days on pins and needles worried that something was going to fall through. Yesterday we flew on a private plane with the crews of the Goin Gault and another boat directly to La Romana DR. We all breathed a big sigh of relief when the wheels hit the tarmac.<br />
After arriving we went through on board systems and found that everything was functioning. Today were are going to Provision the boat and change out fuel filters and run the boat for a bit. Tomorrow we will depart and shoot for Ocean World in Puerto Plata, Dr. We then Plan to make the run to Flying Fish marina in Clarencetown Long Island in the Bahamas. We plan to fish out of the Bahamas for a bit.<br />
Adam and I got Covid Tested on Monday before we departed with a negative result. I have submitted an Electronic health visa to the Bahamian government and we should be good to go,Capt Ed Thompsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09492819889730997617noreply@blogger.com0Unknown location.17.056784845957498 -68.115234750000013-8.465249654042502 -109.42382875000001 42.5788193459575 -26.806640750000014tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988301319395192248.post-14012326086458190762018-12-31T08:35:00.003-05:002018-12-31T08:35:41.617-05:00New Season 2019 for the Blue HeavenIts a New Year, a new boat, and a new lease on life.

This past year has brought some changes. First and foremost, The Blue Heaven has been upgraded, She is now a 66 Viking with a lot more bells and whistles. Galati Yacht sales came thru and provided my boss with an opportunity to improve on the old Blue Heaven. Thank you Carmine Galati and Chris Carere for coming thru for my boss on this deal.<br />
The New Blue Heaven will be starting its season in February in The Caribbean at Casa De Campo Dominican Republic. We look forward to sharing our adventures with all of you. We will be departing February first. We are looking forward to it.<br />
On a personal note, I had a health scare this past September. I suffered a stoke, I was fortunate to be surrounded by lots of close friends and great heath care. Being relatively young and strong headed I have regained all of my motor skills and speech. I was very fortunate. I have lost a considerable amount of weight and made significant life style changes. I am grateful to everyone that surrounded me with love and support. <br />
This coming season promises to be full of great times and a lot of Pictures from our adventures Stay tuned.Capt Ed Thompsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09492819889730997617noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988301319395192248.post-13075065503077938262018-04-03T09:48:00.002-04:002018-04-03T09:51:30.280-04:00Casa De Campo Blue Marlin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The time here in Casa De Campo Dominican Republic has flown by this year. We have had some good fishing and some slow fishing, but the time we spend here is always wonderful. The sunsets at the point, dinners in the plaza, Cooking on the dock or even just going to Playa Manitas to have an after noon Pina Colada on the beach. Casa de campo is a hard destination to beat.<br />
<br />
We have been here since mid February But its almost time to move on In just a few weeks we will be heading further east and south to island hop for a bit before the bite in St Thomas turns on. We are looking forward to visiting our friends in the hurricane ravaged islands of St Tomas and St John, all of the British virgin islands, St Martine and St Barts. When I asked my boss last fall where we were going to spend our season this year, He said to take the boat to all the islands that were damaged by last seasons storms. As I mentioned All of the islands I mentioned were ravaged by cat 4 and cat 5 hurricanes. I told him that some of the places that we go to are still hurting a bit and conditions may be less than perfect. He said that the people on those islands need our support. So here in a few weeks we will make our way thru most of the islands that took a hit 6 months ago. It will me challenging at times but I'm excited to see all the friends we have made over the years of traveling to those islands. We are even considering going a bit further south to explore more fishing waters and islands.<br />
<br />
Below are a number of shots of Blue Marlin we have caught while in Casa De Campo. I look forward to posting a lot more fish pics and the fish will only get bigger from here on out.<br />

<br /><br /><br />First Blog of the season. We departed St Pete on the 30th of January with questionable weather facing us down the road. Our crew for the trip down was of course super mate Dan Condron and we had a buddy of ours Scott "the potato chip eating machine" Burgess along for the ride. <div>
<div>
Day one we made it to Key Largo and the weather was beautiful. Day two, We had yet another day of smooth running to Atlantis in Nassau Bahamas. Day three we We departed Nassau and headed for Clarence town, Long island. The winds had caught up to us a bit and we took quite a bit of spray, but all in all it was not to bad. once we got to the Northern tip of Long Island, we began trolling the rest of the way to Flying fish Marina. We caught 574,482 Barracudas and one King Mackerel. As the afternoon progressed the winds increased so we picked up and ran into Flying Fish marina. </div>
<div>
The forecast for the following day was pretty stiff so we decided to lay up at the dock for the day. It was after all Super Bowl Sunday. On Sunday the winds were indeed pretty strong so we did a little road trip to Deans Blue Hole. Deans Blue Hole is a few miles north of Flyingfish marina. We found Earnest Majors ( a local driver) and hired him to take us there. Deans Hole is a deep hole in a bay that is famous for the clarity of the water and the rock bluffs surrounding it, Dan did actually go up and swan dive off the cliff. The restaurant at the marina is very nice and had two big screen tvs with the game on. Dan And Scott made a bet before the game started.. Dan took the Eagles and Scott took the Pats. whom ever lost, had to shave one leg from the Knee cap down. Scott is still recovering from the razor burn. </div>
<div>
Monday the winds let up and we made our way to Mayaguana island trolling along the way. As evening aproached we trolled our way into Abrahams bay. There is no marina or docks at all in Abrahams Bay. But it is one of the most beautiful anchorages in the Bahamas. The 12 foot of crystal clear water surrounded by a barrier reef makes it a perfect anchorage. On the way in to the harbor I stopped at a coral head and let Scott and Dan jump in and see if there were any lobsters. this particular head nearly always holds big lobster, It indeed produced again. We had a great lobster and Wahoo dinner.</div>
<div>
The weather I had been worrying about was suppose to be still two days away. In fact the weather did hold all night, and into much of the next day. With the Sunrise the next morning, we put the outriggers and began trolling for wahoo. The next 2 1/2 hours were crazy. 50 to 80 lb wahoos ate everything we put in the water. pretty amazing fishing. By 9:30 am I decided to ease away from the reef edge and let Dan regroup in the cockpit. As I trolled across Horse Pond Bay, The Left rigger came down. A feisty Blue Marlin took to jumping all around behind the boat. Scott did a great job of fighting the blue but at the end of the fight Scott asked if he could wire it as well. So Dan took over on the rod and Scott released his blue. Right about then the winds began to increase. .... and increase. They only called for 14 -17 knots. Instead it picked up to 25 knots and got shitty fast. We pulled all the lines in and began the last 40 miles to Provodenciales Turks and Caicos. It was pretty rough but tolerable. I was only able to make about half speed. About 2/3 the way across to Provo, I saw a big wave come up on the port side of the boat. It did not really break and hit the side of the boat as much as it jacked straight up and blasted the clear EZ2CY clear curtains I have on my bridge. It blew a hole right thru the curtain and threw shards of sharp Plastic my way. Fortunately I deflected the piece that came at my face. over the last half of and hour the entire port side panel slowly shattered and shredded. It was just kind of a freak wave. Needless to say, I was drenched with every wave for the last 45 minutes without the protection of my curtain. </div>
<div>
We made it into Blue Haven Marina and cleared customs and got settled in. The weather that has been chasing us south finally caught up to us. The forecast for the next 5+ days is terrible. When I woke up this morning I started second guessing myself as the winds were not that bad. But after rechecking the forecast, I knew we are NOT going anywhere. There are two yachts here that were suppose to depart this morning. One of them never left, and the other one just came back after leaving an hour ago. Oh well I have been stuck in worse places. I predict a road trip to Da Conch Shack and a Rum Front tonight!<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Anther season has crept up on us fast. All of the camouflage clothes and hunting gear has been stashed away. Its time again to switch gears. No more cool mornings sitting in a tree stand waiting for a deer to walk by. The Bows and rifles are cleaned and the marlin tackle has been respooled and hooks sharpened. Its Marlin Season again!</div>

The boats are beginning to show up here in Casa De Campo Dominican Republic. Presently there are 7 american Sport boats here. The fish have already begun to show up with boats catching 3 to 5 marlin a day and seeing up to nine. As I am sitting here writing this, The Delta Dawn just backed into the slip with 3 blue marlin, a white marlin and a sailfish to complete a slam. </div>

It looks like it is going to be a good season. </div>

Dan and I look forward to sharing our adventures this season with all of you. Sit back and enjoy the pics and the stories.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the end of every season we, as the crew begin to get anxious to get home. This travel season was a tad longer than normal. We should be home right now! But Hurricane Mathew is holding us up. We are no where near the storm. But a monster of a storm like Mathew has far reaching effects. The swell generated by Mathew alone is being felt 400 miles away from its center. At Present, The Blue Heaven is sitting in Cap Cana Marina, Dominican Republic ( eastern tip of the island). We will be here for at least two days before the weather dies down around the south side of the Island. At that point, we will bring the boat to Casa De Campo marina and leave it there for the winter. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last week, we brought the boat from St Thomas to Puerto Rico. We visited a boat yard there in Fajardo to have the bottom painted and have some work done on the boat. . We used Island Marine services at Puerto Del Rey marina. They came highly recommended and rightfully so. They are a very professional boat yard and were on spot with timing and everything we asked them to do. I highly recommend Ken and Rick there at Island Marine. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While the boat was on the hard ( dry land) in Fajardo, Dan and I did a bit of exploring. I spent a few years living on that part of Puerto Rico when I was in my teens. It was cool to see it all these years later. We explored the rainforest of El Yunque and hiked for hours to water falls. the lush dark green jungle is indescribably beautiful. The waterfall are all very picturesque. On on of our trips to the rainforest Dan and I were hiking and at about 2500 feet when the clouds rolled in. The entire forest was shrouded in a dense mist. We were literally in the clouds. As we walked further, It began to rain and lightening and thunder. The sound of all the rain and weather mixed with the tree frogs and waterfalls we were hiking to was amazing. I think we saw about 7 major falls. But my favorite was Juan Pablo Falls. It is very near the Big tree trail and the popular La Mina falls. ( normally loaded with tourist) But this waterfall is deserted. Mainly because it is not really marked and has a tiny path leading to it. Once at each of the falls The water invited us to swim. It was sooooo cold. But refreshing. We left the beaten path one other time to go to a kind of locals only waterfall. Its called Hippi falls. We followed some locals directions and found a wonderfull waterfall with about ten locals relaxing and swimming. On one side of the pool below the falls was a rope swing that a few of the local kids were swinging out over the pond and jumping off of. To me it looked quite dangerous. But Dan being the dare devil, Walked over and grabbed the rope. He pushed himself to the furthest back on the approach as he could. All the locals kind of stopped what they were doing and collectively watched as the gringo was probably going to splatter himself on the rocks. Dan pushed off and swung on the rope out over the pool about 30 feet off the water. at the end of the arc he released and did a perfect full flip into the pond. He got just short of a standing ovation from the locals. After a bit he walked over to swing again. This time he was told by the local kid that it was dans last time. I guess he did not like getting shown up by a non local. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We departed Puerto Rico yesterday and made for the Dominican Republic. We had a buddy of ours Scott Burgess fly in to ride along. Scott Had never been Blue marlin fishing before. On our way across the Mona Passage ( the area between Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic ) we began trolling. We found it to be very grassy to start, But after a few Mahi mahi Dan saw something on the left rigger bait. He fed the bait to the fish and the fight was on. Scott did a great job of catching his first Blue marlin. Congrats Scott. </div>

Every season comes to an end. Some are better than others when it comes to the catches but this one was a good one. We fished Dominican Republic and St thomas this season. We had some great fishing but even better we had lots of fun. I feel blessed to be able to visit the locations that we do. I try to share our experiences and travels with all of you. Few people get to visit the azure blue waters and tropical settings that we explore. So I hope that this blog has allow some of you to explore and share in our adventures. All the pics below in this blog today are Marlin pics. I hope you enjoy them. </div>

This year we stayed in the Caribbean a bit longer than we normally do. Being that we stayed so late in the year, the boss and I talked about it and came up with a plan to just leave the boat in the Caribbean for the winter. Normally we would have left and been back in the USA by now. So rather than spend all the eat the cost of brining the boat all the way to the states and then back in February to the Dominican Republic, we will just leave the boat in Casa De Campo, Dominican Republic for the next few months. Before we head to the Dominican Rep, we will make a pitstop in Puerto rico and Visit the marina Puerto De Rey in Fajardo. We will be doing out bottom job and fixing all that we have abused on the boat this season. Once the boat is in the Dominican, I will have my Dominican Mate keep an eye on the boat and Dan or I will fly down once a month to make sure all is well. The flip side is that this means that Dan and I get to spend a lot more time at the hunting camp this winter. </div>

We travel all over and make new friends where ever we go. I want to say thank you to everyone that has made our stay in St Thomas a good one. The girls at XO Bistro and everyone at Island Time Bar have taken exceptionally good care of us. Stewart and everyone at Neptune Tackle have provided us with help and supplies that would have been other wise tough to procure. ( even Sue at Neptune Tackle has provided me with hours of entertainment as she spouted her communist/ democrat views and support for Hillary .) </div>

I hope you enjoy the pics below as mush as we enjoyed sharing these fish. No Captions on pics today . They do not need it. </div>

In this job I am afforded many opportunities that most people dream of doing. I am fortunate and thankful for that. I am able to show my kids ( now adults) things and places that I only dreamed of at their age. Recently my daughter flew to St Thomas to visit me. Before her visit, I met a Lady that runs a Mermaid company here in St Thomas. Kelly Grace owns Caribbean Mermaid Academy. She asked if I knew of anyone with a boat that she could shoot some pictures off of over in St John for some advertising. I told her that I was in all likelihood going to bring the Blue Heaven over to St John to swim and snorkel when My daughter arrived and that I would check with the boss to see if it was ok if she joined us. I explained this to my boss and he graciously said OK. I told her to bring an extra tail for my daughter. She had always dreamed of being a mermaid when she was a child. So the day after my daughter arrive in St Thomas Kelly Grace showed up at the boat with her Mermaid tails. I was not sure what to expect. These tails are made of Silicon rubber and are beautiful. So we went over to St John USVI and my daughter ( 21 years old) got to fulfill the life long dream of being a Mermaid. Lets face it. at 21 years old, my daughter ad always grown up going to Wheeki whachi springs and I bet she watched the "Little Mermaid " a thousand times. You just can not take the little girl out of a grown woman.<br />
The day after the Mermaid excursion, One of our guests arrived. The Boss told me to take him and my daughter fishing for the day before he arrived. My daughter had assisted in fighting a blue marlin in the past, but had never caught one on her own. Well she fulfilled another dream that day, She caught a 250 lb blue marlin all by herself. I was so excited and proud of her. Thank you Steve for helping me fulfill these dreams for my daughter<br />
For the past week or so we have been doing a lot of Marlin fishing. Blue Marlin aggregate along the drop off north of St Thomas and the British Virgin Islands to Spawn this time of year. The best times to fish for them are around the August and September Moons. The fishing was hot or cold each day. One day we would see five or six Blue marlin and catch 3 and the next day we would not see one. It was not just us either . It seemed that each day a couple of the boats fishing would see a bunch of marlin and the next day those same boats would never see a fish. On a sad not, The Tiger sharks also patrol the same area where we are fishing. Unfortunately we have lost a few nice Marlin to the sharks. Not much you can do about it.<br />
We spent some time down at Anagoda and the easter BVIs and fished off of Anagoda as well. Each night we went to a different marina or anchored out. One night we tied off to a mooring ball at Anagoda and went ashore to the Anagoda Reef Club. Anagoda is very different from the rest of the mountainous islands down here. It is very low and looks a lot like Bimini in the Bahamas. It has beautiful beaches and nightly there are small restaurants on the beach that grill some of the best lobster you have ever had. We hired a guy named Barry to pick us up in a small boat and ferry us ashore. Once ashore, we were seated at tables all lit with christmas lights and surrounded by palm trees with more christmas lights strung between them. All of the tables are in the sand. Im not sure if the lobster is just that good or if the setting there just makes it all that much better.<br />
With the peak of hurricane season upon us, our eyes stay to the east. Each day it seems another system tools off of Africa. So far most of the storms have veered north of us. Today we have Invest 99 just to the east of St Thomas. It is disorganized but will likely dump some serious rain on us here.<br />

Its always cool to put a guest on a personal best. A few days ago, Abel Guerra Fought and released a nice blue marlin. When it first bit, it peeled three quarters of a spool and did not seem to want to stop. At that point she started jumping. We all saw that is was a nice fish and the guesstimating began as to how big she was. most of us guessed around 400lbs. Abel begin getting some line back and the fish went down and dirty on us. While Abel was locked in a stalemate of a battle, Full on beast mode, I heard Steve below as he started reviewing a few of the pics he had snapped during her jumps. He got more excited with each picture he reviewed. He announced that This fish was going to surprise us with her size. He was right. An hour later Abel won the battle and released a fish that was upwards of 700lbs. Abel has caught many Blue marlin over the years while fishing with us on the Blue Heaven, But this one was special. Abel does not get excited about many things, But he sure was excited after that fish. </div>
<div>
<div>
Another angler we had fishing with us, had fished with us in Casa De Campo Dominican Republic. He had caught some of the smaller blue marlin there. Don't get me wrong. A 130 lb blue marlin can put up a hell of a fight. But Tony had never caught a big one. He got his chance the other day. After an awesome bite with the fish coming half of its body out of the water to crush the bait, Tony locked horns with a nice North drop Blue marlin. Although it was not as big as Abels fish, It was a good size blue.</div>

When traveling in the Caribbean this time of year, You always have to keep a weather eye to the east. With todays websites and access to every weatherman in the world, Its pretty easy to see what is coming your way. Hurricane season began weeks ago but we are just now getting into the prolific part of the season. I have used Buoyweather.com for years and still do. One of my favorites is Spaghettimodels,com It is Mikesweatherpage on Face book. Mike has compiled one of the best sites around for viewing and predicting what weather may come during this tropical season. One other site I have been using is Windyty.com It is a great site for looking at long term weather patterns. </div>
<div>
This past weekend we had our first tropical wave pass thru. With its passage we had significant rains and lots of gusty winds. For the past few days we have just played on land. On Saturday, we were down in the British Virgin Islands on Virgin Gorda. We were sitting at Virgin Gorda Yacht harbor in Spanishtown. I walked up to the parking lot and hired a taxi to drive us for the day. This is not a taxi by normal standards. It was a smaller pick up truck with benches on either side in the bed and an awning completely covering the passenger area in the Bed. Our driver was none other than Bill Clinton!!!! He was great. He took us to the top of the highest point on Virgin Gorda where there is a bar called Hog Heaven. The view from there is magnificent. I must say that the Pain Killers Are not a bad drink there either. We were looking to get some lunch and left it to Bill Clinton to take us to a good place for lunch. He brought us to Mermaids dock side bar. It is in between the Baths and the marina at Spanishtown. I Never thought I would say these words but " Bill Clinton know best". The place is on a dock out over the water. The prices were reasonable and the food was over the top good. The pain Killers were good there as well. By the way, Bill Clinton said that you should not vote for Hillary. Just sayin!!!! From there he took us to the other end of the island to go to the Baths. Yes we've been there before but our guests had not. If you do not have a small tender on your boat, going to the Baths by car is a good option. </div>
<div>
With the kids still honking yesterday, we made our way back to St Thomas and Are sitting at the dock again today waiting for the winds to let up. It looks good for tomorrow so hopefully we will have a good report from the north drop tomorrow night.<br />
One last thing... View the video below for how not to BBQ hot dogs on the dock.<br />

Its always cool to put a guest on a personal best. A few days ago, Abel Guerra Fought and released a nice blue marlin. When it first bit, it peeled three quarters of a spool and did not seem to want to stop. At that point she started jumping. We all saw that is was a nice fish and the guesstimating began as to how big she was. most of us guessed around 400lbs. Abel begin getting some line back and the fish went down and dirty on us. While Abel was locked in a stalemate of a battle, Full on beast mode, I heard Steve below as he started reviewing a few of the pics he had snapped during her jumps. He got more excited with each picture he reviewed. He announced that This fish was going to surprise us with her size. He was right. An hour later Abel won the battle and released a fish that was upwards of 700lbs. Abel has caught many Blue marlin over the years while fishing with us on the Blue Heaven, But this one was special. Abel does not get excited about many things, But he sure was excited after that fish. </div>
<div>
<div>
Another angler we had fishing with us, had fished with us in Casa De Campo Dominican Republic. He had caught some of the smaller blue marlin there. Don't get me wrong. A 130 lb blue marlin can put up a hell of a fight. But Tony had never caught a big one. He got his chance the other day. After an awesome bite with the fish coming half of its body out of the water to crush the bait, Tony locked horns with a nice North drop Blue marlin. Although it was not as big as Abels fish, It was a good size blue.</div>

When traveling in the Caribbean this time of year, You always have to keep a weather eye to the east. With todays websites and access to every weatherman in the world, Its pretty easy to see what is coming your way. Hurricane season began weeks ago but we are just now getting into the prolific part of the season. I have used Buoyweather.com for years and still do. One of my favorites is Spaghettimodels,com It is Mikesweatherpage on Face book. Mike has compiled one of the best sites around for viewing and predicting what weather may come during this tropical season. One other site I have been using is Windyty.com It is a great site for looking at long term weather patterns. </div>
<div>
This past weekend we had our first tropical wave pass thru. With its passage we had significant rains and lots of gusty winds. For the past few days we have just played on land. On Saturday, we were down in the British Virgin Islands on Virgin Gorda. We were sitting at Virgin Gorda Yacht harbor in Spanishtown. I walked up to the parking lot and hired a taxi to drive us for the day. This is not a taxi by normal standards. It was a smaller pick up truck with benches on either side in the bed and an awning completely covering the passenger area in the Bed. Our driver was none other than Bill Clinton!!!! He was great. He took us to the top of the highest point on Virgin Gorda where there is a bar called Hog Heaven. The view from there is magnificent. I must say that the Pain Killers Are not a bad drink there either. We were looking to get some lunch and left it to Bill Clinton to take us to a good place for lunch. He brought us to Mermaids dock side bar. It is in between the Baths and the marina at Spanishtown. I Never thought I would say these words but " Bill Clinton know best". The place is on a dock out over the water. The prices were reasonable and the food was over the top good. The pain Killers were good there as well. By the way, Bill Clinton said that you should not vote for Hillary. Just sayin!!!! From there he took us to the other end of the island to go to the Baths. Yes we've been there before but our guests had not. If you do not have a small tender on your boat, going to the Baths by car is a good option. </div>
<div>
With the kids still honking yesterday, we made our way back to St Thomas and Are sitting at the dock again today waiting for the winds to let up. It looks good for tomorrow so hopefully we will have a good report from the north drop tomorrow night.<br />
One last thing... View the video below for how not to BBQ hot dogs on the dock.<br />

Fishing the North drop Of St Thomas can be a very exciting thing. The North drop is an area north of the virgin Islands starting at about 20 miles where the depth drops from 200 feet to thousands of feet. From July thru September finds bigger Blue marlin gathering along this area. Anglers come from all over to test their skills on big mean Blues.<br />
Starting out a morning fishing out of St Thomas goes something like this... As the sun rises to the east, the crews of all the boats prepare for the day. Some resetting drags, some respelling reels from the damage caused from yesterdays battle. After coffees are drank and good lucks are wished between neighboring boats, the boat begin to file out of IGY marina at Red Hook St Thomas. As the boats clear the red clay bluff at the mouth of the Vessup bay, throttles are pushed up and we turn to the north. The water is super clear as you cut across the Pillsbury Sound dividing St Thomas from St John. In 50-70 feet of water, even with the sun just clearing Tortlla BVIs to the east you can see the bottom in some places. As you round Shark island the thatch islands are just off the bow. A few miles after that the boat will cut through Tobago islands just east of Jost Van Dyke BVIs. At that point you are in open water all the way to the North drop. as you traverse the next 12 miles, the clear blue water has you believing that the water just can not get any clearer. The seas steadily increase as you get closer to the North drop. The standard 15-18 knot easterly trade winds nearly always make for a bit of a chop on the north drop but seldom is it to tall and terrible. As you arrive, the water seems to turn even deeper shades of azure blue. The out riggers go out and the lure spread is deployed. After that it is just hours and hours of boredom punctuated by brief intense moments of extreme excitement. To some of you that have made this run, you may think this is boring. But for those of you that have not fished a boat out of St thomas, there is a special kind of magic to the ride out of Red Hook on your way to the North drop.<br />

After Having limited luck in St Martin due to rough weather, Dan and I insisted to the boss that we fish the day we returned from St Barts and St Martin to St Thomas. We were only fishing one hour when Dan came up to the bridge. He had only been up there a minute or two when I asked him " What kind of fish are we going to catch first". A split second later the pop of the outrigger clip and the singing of line playing off of the 50 wide reel answered my question. She was a big girl and put on quite an acrobatic show for a Blue Marlin close to 600 lbs. Steve had one hell of a fight on his hands and despite a little grumbling about the duration of the fight he was victorious win the end. Steve has a habit of telling guest to take the rod when a fish is on and he had been in a lull on catching blues for himself. Dan and I were so happy to see him fight such a magnificent fish.<br />
One of the things that I love about this job is seeing what we do, enjoyed through the eyes of a guest. The day after Steve caught that nice Blue, We had two guest arrive. Neither of our guest Matt nor Josh had ever caught a blue marlin. Nor had they done a trip thru the British virgin islands. Both of these guys had about as much fun and enjoyed the trip as anyone could ever do. Our first day of fishing saw both Matt and Josh catch their first Blue marlin AND their second Blue marlin. When Matt came up to the bridge after his first fish, he was shaking like a little boy that has to go really bad, in line for the bathroom His grin on the way out to the fishing grounds was even more exaggerated after that first fish. Im telling you that boy was excited. Josh as well had Perma-grin on his face. Upon pulling into the dock that afternoon, I think it really sunk in as to what a great day we had.<br />
It truly is a thrill for me to be a small part of making someones dream of catching a blue marlin come true.<br />
After fishing the boys got to experience the Caribbean BBQ at Levricks bay. They sat up all night reminiscing and grinning about the days events. The following day everyone was stoked to head out and hit it again. HA...... We trolled for 8 hours and never saw a fish. Talk about going from Hero to Zero!!!!!!!!! But about half way thru the day, I looked over at Matt and he was still ear to ear with a smile. He was having the time of his life just ate up with the day before and the beautiful weather. The next day we took the boys to the Baths and the Willy T. The boys continued to be wide eyed and excited. I only wish I could show everyone the kind of trip those guys had.<br />

We left St Thomas a week ago and headed East South East to St Martin / St Barths. Its only a 120 mile run so we decided to go see these islands.<br />
One of the reasons we wanted to go to St Martin is to fish the famed Marlin Blvd. The Boulevard is an area that stretches to the north east of St Martin for 25-45 miles. It is renowned for producing big fish. Dan and I ran the boat to St Martin and fished a bit along the way. We caught a few small yellow fin tuna and a 400 lb blue marlin. But as luck would have it, when the boss flew in two days later, The winds started honking. The first day the boss was there, We fished in 7-8 foot sloppy crap seas. We raised one good size blue and caught one white marlin. The next day the winds had not subsided so we fished the leeward side of St Martin. Our efforts only produced one nice wahoo. The forecast for the extended period called for 20 + knot winds so we came up with an alternative plan to fishing. We explored St Martin for a day and then brought the boat to St Baths to explore as well.<br />

St Martin is an island that is a territory of France and all owned by the Dutch. Three quarters of the island is french. obviously french is the predominant language spoken. My first impression upon arriving to the island is that everyone sounded like Pepe Le Pew. But most folks speak english as well. We stayed on the French side of the island at Marina Fort Louis. The marina is nice enough. But, I recommend any boats traveling to For Louis to carry a 100 to double 50 amp splitter. They have very few functioning 50 amp power plugs on the dock. The marina in located in a town called Marigot. It is a touristy place and has lots of good French restaurants. There are some outstanding french bakeries a short walk from the boat. I could never live that near to a French Bakery. Good lord the french can throw down on some bread and pastries. Just not of Marigot is a town called Grand Case. This sleepy little town reminds me of Play Del Carmin Mexico years and years ago ( only with out the tequila bars). There is French Bistro after French Bistro that dot the street that lays right along the beach facing north towards the island of Anguilla. The French deffinetly have a talent for cooking. Every meal we have had has been over the top good. And I am not just talking about the flavors. Each dish seems to come to the table looking like a piece of art work. On or exploring day, we drove to Orient beach. It is one of the more popular beaches on the island. It is lined with little bars along the beach and some parts of it a adult only. While we stayed off of the adult beach, There were a few topless sunbathers that strayed to the beach where we were. Quite frankly they should not have been flaunting what the have. After some grub on the beach, we headed to the Loterie farm. Loterie Farm is a Zip line place in the mountains between Marigot and Grand case. They have beautiful pools and zip lines there. The zip lines are touted as extreme And they meant it. They guys were worn out when they finished walking tight rope bribes and doing zip lines. Another thing that you have to when on St Martin is go to the dutch side to Simpson Bay and watch the Airplanes take off and land. It is a big tourist attraction. We made it to Maho beach at the beginning of the runway which is right on the beach just as the Big quad engine jumbo Air France jet was preparing to take off. Now standing on the beach when one of the big jets comes in to land is a big rush... it feels as if you could reach up and touch the landing gear. But standing in the Jet wash directly behind a Jumbo Jet as it goes full power to take off and clear the mountains at the other end of the runway is a trip. All the tourists gather and cling to the runway fence. Then 125+ mile an hour winds blow hats off and the occasional tourist gets blown off the beach and into the water.<br />
<br />
St Barths , As I stated before, the weather was not conducive to fishing so we made the 18 mile run over to the french island of St Barths. Some call it st Barts, some St Barths but its actual name is St Barthalamy. St Barths is probably the most exclusive island in the caribbean. It is the play ground for ultra the ultra wealthy. As we idled into port Gustavia I was struck by how quaint the town is. It is lined with ginger bread buildings and is all very well kept. Two small issues arose once we arrived. I assumed with St Barths being a major yachting destination, that there would be dock side power. There is none at any slip. The second issue was that there are no actual slips. All of the dockage is side to a seawall or on a mooring ball. After laying along the sea wall for 2 hours and getting bounced around by the surge caused by the rough seas off shore, we realized that we were going to pop a fender or snap a dock line. So we moved the boat out to the inner harbor mooring field. Our next problem was that with no small boat we would have to use our paddle boards to get to and from shore. Luckily there was a sail boat with two tenders moored near us. For fifty bucks and a couple bags of wahoo we rented one of their tenders. Beyond those issues, this place is over the top beautiful. The quaint streets are line with all the high end shops one might find in Paris. Every thing is very expensive though. We had lunch at a small open air bistro and the bill was 100 bucks for three burgers and three beers. We drove around the island and found it to be immaculate clean and well maintained. W made a stop at Niki Beach and had a swim. The beach there was amazing. Afterwards we drover the entire island and ended up at Do Brazil at Shell Beach. The waters there are very protected and clear, It was the perfect place to swim off lunch. The french team played Iceland today and won. The island is going nuts. There are lines of cars driving up and down the streets blowing their horns and waving French flags.<br />
Tomorrow we are going to head back to St Thomas. They are calling for 20+ knot winds but it will be a following sea. Hope we catch some fish along the way<br />

Fishing is only part of the fun and games on the Blue Heaven. Some boats travel to locations like the Bahamas, Dominican Republic or the Virgin Islands and never do anything but fish. Theres nothing wrong with that but those boats really are missing out on a better part of the experiences to be had while traveling. Over the past week, we caught Blue Marlin, Snorkeled, Swam in gin clear water, explored rock formations, hung out on the Willy T, and even got chased by a little weather. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last week a few days before the boss arrived, I asked if Dan and I could do a pre fishing day. He said yes so Dan and I took the boat to the south drop. We did not have much luck all morning and Dan was really giving me hell about the fact that there are suppose to be big fish here in St Thomas. At about 12:30 Dan had to eat his words. We were pulling a five lure spread plus two teasers. Suddenly the right long came out of the clip and started dumping line. my first instinct was to come off the bridge and help Dan clear the rest of the lines so that we could back down on the hooked fish. But the Line was peeling off the reel so fast that I had to start backing down right away so that we did not get spooled. Dan scurried around the cockpit clearing lines and teasers. all the while the line was emptying off the spool despite me backing down. Once Dan cleared the spread, He harnessed up and locked into an hour long battle. We knew it was a nice fish but had still not had a good look at her. When she finally came to the surface She was a big one. We guess she was ( with no exaggeration) around 550-600 lbs. Dan reeled till he could reach the leader, Stuck the rod in the rod holder and wired his own fish. For those of you that have marlin fished you know that this was an exciting feat. For those of you that have not done this type of fishing. I only hope that you get to experience the thrill just once in your life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the boss and his guests arrive, We took the boat over to Sopers hole at Bitter End BVIs. We cleared customs to enter the BVIs and tied up at Sopers hole marina. The next morning we headed to the North Drop. The North drop is where the reef line drops from 200 feet of water to a few thousand feet and stretches along the north of the US virgin Islands and British virgin islands. We had an OK day catching a Blue marlin and a White Marlin At one point there were three boats all around us hooked up at the same time but we could not buy another bite. After fishing, We ran into Virgin gorda to Levricks Bay Marina. Levricks is a pretty little marina nestled into the west side of the bay on the east end of Virgin Gorda. On Friday nights they do a bad ass Caribbean BBQ / Party. The food is served buffet style. I am not a big fan of buffets but this one is outstanding. There is pulled pork Chicken, ribs, fish, Caribbean mac and cheese.... All the sides you can imagine for a bbq. But best of all is their cole slaw. I could eat just the cole slaw for a meal. Oh and there are easy deserts as well. All of the seating is placed along the beach overlooking the marina. There are strings of lights hung between the palm trees that really set the mood. All of this starts at about 7 pm. By 8pm there is a live band that plays the obligatory caribbean songs you all know by heart. By 8;30 the band begins getting the crowd involved. With the adult beverages flowing and inhibitions fading the crowd fills the sand dance floor. At about 9 pm The Jumbie dancers come out. The Jumbie dancers are Carnival attired dancers on 6-8- foot tall stilts. Lets keep in mind that the dance floor is sand. They dance with the crowd and get the people really going. At 9:30 Its time for me to go to bed but the party I am told goes on for hours. I highly recommend this event to anyone visiting the BVIs. ( make a reservation though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Next day we fished off of Anagoda Island in the BVIs. We had two blues that bite but just did not stay hooked and a third blue marlin that came into the spread that would not eat. That night we went into Bitter end marina. It is a favorite of me and the boss. The dark green mountains that surround the marina roll straight down to azure blue clear waters. The first pic at the top of the page is at Bitter End. On sunday we put away the fishing gear and just played. Our first stop was at the Baths. The baths at Virgin Gorda are a place that there are giant borders at the waters edge that are all piled up against each other. The tidal pools in , under and around these rocks are what give the place the name " the Baths". After the Baths we took the boat to the Indians. The indians are a set of rocks that I guess have some sort of resemblance to indians. The reef around the Indians is beautiful to snorkel. That afternoon we took the boat to Normans island and grabbed a mooring ball right next to the Willy T. ( A floating rusty relic that is a floating bar.) The guys had a great time. Although, It was a bit subdued from its normal debauchery likely because it was fathers day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I turned on my phone to check the weather later in the afternoon at the willy T and saw that there was some bad weather pushing in our way, so we left the Willy T and spent the night at Peter Island. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All and all it was a great time had by all. Its just a shame so many other boat crews never get to go do some of the fun things that we do. </div>

The sun has just begun to light the sky over Tortola BVI and St John USVI to the east of Red Hook this morning. The breeze is light and is just enough to take the edge off the humidity. The sounds of the marina in the morning nearly compares to the scenery. There are the roosters crowing, the rattle of halyards from the sail boats anchored out, the occasional three blasts of a horn signalling a ferry boat backing out of the Ferry terminal, the drone of a dingy idling by... Its why I enjoy getting up early and sitting on the dock with my coffee. Slowly the marina comes to life. The Cat sailboat next door is readying for their next charter. The second floor of red hook is a buzz with people visiting the coffee shop. A charter boat slides into the marina with the mate on the bow ready to throw the cast net on some pilchards to be used as bait for todays charter. But best of all is looking east from the marina and seeing that sun break through the morning haze and light up the Virgin Islands to the east of us.<br />
Yep We are back in St Thomas.<br />
We departed the Dominican Republic about 10 days ago. We had been nursing a steering leak for the last week we had been in the Dominican. We made a temporary repair to the steering line and it held good for our crossing to Puerto Rico. The crossing was typicaly rough. I really do not like heading east along the north shore of Puerto Rico this time of year. The winds always pick up mid day and seem to always oppose the current, making for a pretty shitty ride. I was worried the entire crossing that our steering patch would fail but it held fine.<br />
Once in San Juan at Club Nautico marina, I had a guy come down and look at our steering issue. He came in and repaired it the very next day. What a relief. With the steering repaired, Dan and I rented a car and drove all over San Juan to do our re provisioning. We went to West Marine and Costco and a tackle store. It was nice to be able to get good supplies again. And YES... We bought four gallons of USDA milk. Between one of our store runs, I took Dan out to Old San Juan and did the driving quick tour of the area. I was quite impressed with the renovations being done all over old San Juan. The area had been a bit run down in past visits but was quite clean and very busy.<br />
With our repairs done and the boat restocked, We left the next morning for St Thomas. We had an uneventful trip. As we idled back and made the turn into Red Hook I was shocked to see that we were the only sport fish in the entire marina. Even the Marlin Prince was not there ( in the boat yard). Being the first sport boat of the coming season to arrive was pretty cool. As Dan and I walked around the marina and to the bars and shops, there was a genuine joy on the faces of friends and businesses. They really like the summer when all the visiting sport fishing boats return. We were welcomed with open arms and every place we visited seemed to think we needed a shot or two or four...<br />
Red hook has not changed much but the changes that have occurred are for the better. There are a few more places to eat and the grocery store is over the top nice now. There is little need to venture to any other stores on island for provisions now. Stewart can still be found busy at his desk at neptune tackle store. While he has all the talk you could ever need, He seems to be able to get anything else you need as well. Glad to see him still there. I did run into Jimmy Loveland ( Stewarts brother) at OX bistro. He has not changed a bit. He bought me a drink and we settled into the same conversations we were in two years ago. I always enjoy chatting with Jimmy.<br />
When one travels as extensively as we do, Inevitably things are going to break. I pride myself in being able to fix nearly anything on the boat. But at times I need just a little help. I had to make two phone calls over the past week for help. One was to Hank Borek with Galati. He helped me figure out a way to patch our steering and helped me diagnose an issue I was having with our cable master. I have to say that Hank has helped me through many a tight spot over the years, He is an invaluable contact and I hope Galati yachts knows what a great employee that have. The other phone call I made was to Ralph Howell with Middleton marine. I had a generator issue that I could not figure out to save me. I looked it up in the online manuals and it just lead me to call Ralph. With in 3 minutes of diagnosing on the phone, Ralph knew what the issue was and talked me thru the fix. Its good to have a mechanic on speed dial the likes of Ralph.<br />
Three days after arriving in St Thomas, I called the boss and asked if we could run the boat over to St John and tie off to a mooring ball for the day. The bottom of the boat had quite a bit of growth on it and needed to be cleaned. Yes I could have paid someone to come to the marina and clean the bottom but We wanted to have a fun day as well. The boss sanctioned the day and we took the boat a couple miles over to St John and tied off in Maho bay. The water there is 10 to 60 feet deep and really clear. It is nicely protected and makes for a great place to just sit for the day. The shores are line with pam tree and nice beaches but the best part of anchoring there is just floating behind the boat. It is a very pretty place. <br />
With the marlin season just coming to St Thomas, I do not have anything to report other than a few scattered reports of Blue Marlin being caught. But mostly all the local boats are fishing the south drop as it is closer and there has been a consistent bite there as well.<br />

I got up this morning just before sunrise and jumped on my bike. The sun had just peaked the eastern sky here in Cap Cana and the sky to the east was on fire as the sun peaked though the clouds towards Puerto Rico. Sorry no pics, No room in my spandex bike riding outfit!!! Just kidding, Im to fat and old to wear spandex. But, It did feel good to get on the bike and get some excursive before the sun and steamy caribbean air gets to sticky and hot. The morning air here was not as humid as it has been so I road the length of the beach and back around the marina. The boat crews that are fishing today were begining to stir as I rode back around the sea wall in Cap Cana Marina. But for the most part the docks were quiet as most boats here fished all weekend. As I neared the taxi stand some little happy dog decided that I was evil and that I should die. He kept up pretty good for a bit but I dusted him.<br />

We moved the boat around to Cap Cana two weeks ago from the Marina at Casa De Campo where we had been fishing for the past few months. Cap Cana is situated on the eastern most tip of the Dominican Republic and is in the area known as Punta Cana. The past few months we fished the FADs off of Casa De Campo on the south easters side of the DR. There is was mostly Blue Marlin. As that season fades, The season around the corner here at Cap Cana begins. Here in Cap Cana the fishery consists mostly of White marlin. There are a few Blue marlin caught here as well. In fact there have been a few slams caught in the past week. ( a slam is three different speices of billfish... example ...White marlin Blue Marlin and sailfish ). Capt Rich on the Shark Byte completed a double slam a few days ago. With catches of as many as 7 to 12 whites a day and more, this can be a fun place to fish.<br />
<br />
The marina here is nice and modern. While it does not have many of the conveniences that Casa De Campo offers, The short distances you have to run off shore makes up for it some what. If only there was a better supplied grocery here and a few more places to go grab dinner...<br />
<br />
Years back there was a funny movie called the Jerk. It stared Steve Martinewho played a "poor black child" from Mississippi When he moved away from home his father gave him some advice for the world. " The lord loves a workin man... Never trust whitey... and see a doctor and get rid of it" We use the middle part of that quote daily when fishing for white marlin. The white marlin that gather here are fast to strike and quick to leave. Just when you think you have figured out how to hook them, You will miss the next few fish for no apparent reason. NEVER TRUST WHITEY. They will really drive you nuts. But once you have hooked one, You get to see what all the fuss is about. Whiteys tend to be one of the most acrobatic billfish you can seek. They perform multiple jumps and speedy runs that will put a smile on the face of any seasoned angler.<br />
<br />
We have fished a few days here in Cap Cana and caught whites every day. Our best day was 5 out of eight. We will fish this coming weekend again before we head further east. Next monday we will head to Puerto Rico for a couple of days to do some provisioning then we will make for St Thomas. <br />

There is definitely a thrill in catching a blue marlin. The thrill and the adrenalin is unmatchable. Afterwards at the dock the stories and the mental vision of the fight are hard to put into words. Getting a picture of a Blue marlin jumping during a fight is even harder. Hundreds upon hundreds of pictures are snapped with nothing to show but a splash of foamy water. Its kind of like trying to sit up all night and snap a picture of a shooting star. My boss has become pretty damn good at getting some good shots of cooperative fish. When a Blue marlin is at the side of the boat it is somewhat easy to snap a picture of it. But when it is peeling line away from the boat and the angler is fighting the fish, it can be a real task to get the shot when the fish jumps. There are times when the line coming off the tip of the rod is angled down at 45 degrees to the water giving the appearance that the Blue is down deep somewhere behind the boat. Then suddenly the fish will come out of the water 200 yards out behind the boat while the line is still angled straight down. . To get a shot when this happens takes a very good camera and a very patient photographer that can anticipate what the fish is going to do. Below in this blog are some pretty epic shots.<br />

This past week I was fortunate to have my son come down and fish with us. The second and third days he fished with us were slow but the first day he fished while he was here, We had some good fishing. On that day we went four for nine on Blue Marlin. Patrick got to catch 2 of the Blues that day. On one of the fish, We had a blue come in and pile onto a bait. The Boss grabbed the rod and began fighting the fish. As Patrick manned a different rod to clear all the other lines out of the water, He began reeling and a second blue marlin piled onto his bait. The fish immediately began taletelling away from the boat to Patricks surprise. Glad he got to experience that. </div>

Our time here in Casa De Campo is drawing to an end. We have this weekend and then we will relocate around the corner of the Dominican Republic to Cap Cana. The White marlin bite is heating up over there. So we will spend a bit of time there before we head over to Puerto Rico, St Thomas and St. Marrtine. As always, they have taken very good care of us here in Casa De Campo and we look forward to a return trip.<br />

Sometimes its donning a reggae bob Marley wig or other times its jamming to Donna Summer disco tunes and everyone dancing in the cockpit or just having rubber band wars, We do have fun when we go fishing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the end of one day last week, we were trolling around a FAD ( A bouy set up off shore that attracts fish) and we decided to let Dan and Tyler jump in on the FAD and check it out. We had a large blow up Shamu pool float so we put a rope on it and tied it off to the FAD. But Dan of course had to ride it for a few pics. Five thousand feet of water and 24 miles off shore, its just not a normal thing to do out there. But we are far from normal. Some crews take the fishing thing way to seriously. If you can't have fun out there then you are doing it all wrong. ( OK yes, I have been known to shout a bit when we have a fish hooked up..... I think of it more as constructive criticism )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fishing has got a bit better over the past few weeks. Last year the bite began a little early, This year I think it was just a few weeks late. Fish don't have calendars. </div>

Congrats to the "Auspicious" on winning the Casa De Campo Marlin tournament last week. It was a great win for them. We had the bites during the tournament, but just could not capitalize. ( OK We Sucked) Rick Alvarez did a nice job with the tournament this year. I think a good time was had by all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A couple of weeks back Casa De Campo held the fourth annual Gringos VS the Dock attendants Softball game. Each year we all look forward to this game. The Dominican Dock attendants all play on an official team. They are all outstanding players. The gringos always loose. This year was a bit different. We actually won!!!! Well Kinda. We did win by score, But we also were playing with 7 gringos in the outfield at times. There were all kinds of high jinks and goofing around during the game. At one point the speakers at the field was playing music and a popular song came on... So all the gringos on the field called time out and just started dancing. I got the umpire drunk as hell by calling time outs all throughout the game and bringing him rum and cokes. He was so much fun. Normally there are numerous injuries but this year Dan was the only good injury. He decides to sacrifice all the skin on his calf and slide into second base wearing shorts, That will be a scar he carries with him for years to come. Sorry no pics. Way to gross</div>

The past few weeks have seen very pretty slow fishing here in Casa De Campo. The last week was brutally rough, with 25 to 30 kt winds nearly every day. The main body of fish has yet to show up here. But they do every year, so we are all waiting.<br />
<br />
Bordom on the docks brings about all kinds of interesting stuff.<br />
A couple of days ago Capt Max bet his mate that he could eat an entire tube of Wasabi paste. We all stood there in amazement as Max took it like a man. He said the worst part of it was the burps later that night. He is a better man than I am.<br />
<br />
We have fished a little and had limited luck so far. We have hooked and lost a few and caught some fish. One of the Fish we caught was a Blue Marlin that could not have weighed more than 30 lbs. As Capt Tim Richardson of the Ambush said " It was kinda like a blue marlin... only smaller". We actually had one even smaller chase up a bait as we cleared the spread but it did not eat.<br />
<br />
Well as it Does every season about this time, We have run out of American milk. The boss flew in commercially last time but next time he will be flying private, so the pilot should be able to sneak some thru customs. We met some crew off of a yacht here and talked the Stewardess into smuggling a little milk off of their boat. Dan And I each savored it as if it was a fine wine.<br />
<br />
Casa De Campo had their 2016 Season kick off party/ banquet last weekend. They really did a great job. Somehow they found a rock group that played southern rock. The food spread was so over the top good. Its a good thing I did not see the deserts before my main meal or I would have saved more space. Keep up the good work Vilma. Looking forward to the Gringos vs the dock attendants this sunday night.<br />
<br />
Dan and I drove the boss to the airport in Santo Domingo on Sunday. On the way back I had to drive Dan through the town of Boca Chica. Boca Chica is an odd place. During the day the main street is full of art and t shirts and tourist junk. at night it becomes very MUCH a different place. I went there one time at night and have no desire to ever go back. As one of our guests puts it, " Boca Chica is where the Outbreak Monkey went to retire". So Dan and I are riding down the street taking in the culture and we actually drove right past a guy in a monkey suit. ( The out break monkey?)see pic below<br />

Now I have to get a little politically incorrect and talk about the local fisheries. I get the fact that we are in a poor country. I get the fact that they have to make what they can with the resources they have. But on a recent trip to the grocery in La Romana Dan and I took some pictures of some ridiculously small fish. Like I said I get the fact that some people here can just not afford a big chunk of tuna, but for a store much less for a country to condone killing 3 - 4 inch long snappers is ridiculous. Lane snapper are fairly prolific when fished sensibly. Killing and selling a snapper that small is doing no person any good. The 8-10 inch grouper in the case were not any better. I sure hope that someone stands up and realizes that there is no way to have a sustainable fishery of any kind by raping the resource like this. This is an awesome country but they have to make some changes.<br />
<br />
Some of you that have read this blog in past years may have heard me speak of a guy named Pedro. Pedro is kind of a misfit Dominican that hangs around here. There are a few more pics below of his adventures.<br />

The marina here in Casa De Campo DR is slowly filling up. Each weather break sees another new boat or two. The fishing has begun to pick up as well. A couple days ago The Delta Dawn caught 3 blue marlin, the Miss B haven caught 4 and the Contango had 5 blue marlin. It will get nothing but better as the time rolls on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With a little down time over the past week, Dan and I have done a little Fishing and playing. The Chavon River empties out right next to our marina. It is quite scenic with sheer cliffs and palm lined shores. One of our friends here has a flats boat that he is good enough to let us borrow to go explore the possibility of catching the Elusive Robalo ( Snook). Just getting off the dock and viewing the rivers magnificent vistas is good enough but the opportunity to catch a nice Robalo ( or get broke off by one) is a special treat. As you drift the shore of the steep cliffs you will see giant trees seemingly growing right out of the rocks. Some of the trees are filled with Bromiliads. Where the cliffs give way to more subtle shores, The palm lines beaches are beautiful and tropical. </div>

We have not gone out much at night, Last weekend was a bit moist. But I think we may get off the boat for a few hours tonight. ( that is until about ten PM which is my bed time. ) Not to many boats have guests in town tonight so it should be entertaining to go out for a bit and watch the boat crews act up a bit. </div>

I hope to find Pedro out and about tonight. Pedro is a local fellow that seems to show up about this time of year and stir up all kinds of mischief. Pedro is pictured below</div>

We have been here in Casa De Campo now for a week. Since we arrived, we have been repairing most of the small items that stopped working on our trip south. Its nice to be in a marina where you can get must things repaired.<br />

When we are here in the Dominican, we normally hire a guy to help wash and shammy the boat and to help out on a few days when we do not fish. It is inexpensive and they are hard workers. I have used Duarte for the past few years. He is a hard worker and very reliable. One of the first things I do each year when I arrive, is to go to the grocery store and get local provisions for the boat. I always bring Duarte on that trip and get groceries to take to his family. We get him 40 lb bags of rice and beans and basic necessities that I promise you he could not afford on his own. We then go to his house. I tried to forewarn Dan of the conditions in the neighborhood where Duarte lives. But nothing could prepare him for it. Duarte lives on the west side of La Romana in an outlaying village. The road to his house is dirt and not many cars pass that way. Its a pretty rough part of town. Upon arriving at Duarte's hut, I saw the faces of his kids brighten when I got out of the car. Their faces brightened even more when I pulled a 20 lb bag of beads left over from the Gasparilla parade from the car. You would have thought that Dan and I were handing out real gold and pearls. Then we began unloading groceries. We had picked up a couple basic toys. When one of Duarte's daughters saw a stuffed doll in a bag, she ripped the bag away and came running to me clutching the doll. The gave me the biggest hug. This big old salty boat captain turned to Jello. I don't care who you are, that moment will bring tears to anyone.<br />

We helped load all the groceries into Duarte's small home and went on our way. Duarte is proud of his home and upon leaving there one can only think about the petty things we worry about each day and how petty they really are. When ever things are not going my way, I think about a trip to Duarte's and remember everything is relative! I also think about the hug that his little girl gave me.<br />
We did practice fish one day since we have been here. Fishing has been a bit slow as the Blue marlin have not moved into here in force yet but we did manage to catch a sailfish and a nice dorado and missed one Blue marlin. Already the boats that have fished in the days since then are seeing a few more fish each day.<br />
Ever since we left the states, Dan and I have been fighting an upper respiratory cold. I was mostly over it by the time we arrived, But Dan had it hit him hard after we arrived. It manifested itself as a horrible ear infections and chest cough. So on Sunday morning after Dan spent a very rough night with the cold, I took him to the clinic in town. We walked into the clinic and there were 20 dominicans sitting in the waiting room. We walked to the counter and were whisked straight to the back. Not because dan was so sick, But I assume they know we will pay up front. We kinda felt guilty but we were relieved to go ahead. It was entertaining to say the least as I used my Spanglish to try to communicate with the doctor that was on duty. He finally went and got a nurse that spoke good english. They determined that Dan had an ear infection and a bad chest infection. They gave us a long list of scripts and gave Dan two big ole shots in the Ass. Me being me, Of course I had to snap a pic of the shots.<br />
Its good being back here in Casa De Campo. There have been a few nice changes to the facilities here such as new restaurants. The grocery store in the marina had a major make over. It is as nice as any Larger store in town. <br />

<br />
We Departed last Sunday morning From St Pete and Ran to Marathon the first day of our trip. The day was uneventful. We got some well needed rest that night, but woke up the next morning to find that the main cabin air conditioner was down. I made some calls and found a guy in Miami that could come figure it out. We pulled into Miami at 11 am and the A/C guy found that a Start Capacitor and the Triac had failed on the A/C. No matter how much maintenance you do there always seems to be something breaking on one of these rigs.<br />
My old mate Tyler is trying to get his center console to San Salvador. We offered to help by towing him there. After fixing the A/C we made the crossing to Bimini Monday afternoon. We then ran from Bimini to Highborn in the Exumas. We did a short pitstop in Nassau to top off on Fuel. After leaving Nassau, We only had 28 miles to go to get to Highbourn in the Exumas. So we made the obligatory stop at the Yellow bank and got some lobsters for dinner.<br />
Highbourn Cay Marina is at the northern end of the Exuma chain of islands. It has really turned into a top notch marina. They pride themselves in the fact that the Marina and the grounds around it are kept impeccably clean. The waters in the Exuma island chain boast some of the clearest waters one will find in a marina anywhere.<br />
We had intended to run to San Salvador the next day, but the upon waking up the winds were gusting over 20 knots . If we were not towing Tylers little boat we could have made the run. But Safety is key. SOOOO We slid 50 miles south in the Lee of the islands at slow speed down the Exuma islands. <span id="goog_927279487"></span><span id="goog_927279488"></span><br />
Upon arriving at Stanial cay, we were met with super clear waters again in then marina. Its truly a delight for the eyes. Here is where the little boat came in handy. There are many places to explore and see on the area. One place is Thunder ball Rock. Thunder ball is a naturally formed island about 100 yards across that is completely hollow. You can swim inside it. Thunder ball rock was made famous when the 007 James bond classic was shot there. In fact the bad guys hid the nuclear bombs inside Thunder ball rock. another place just around the corner is Big Majors. This small uninhabited island boasts a beautiful protected beach and a large sounder of Feral pigs. These pigs are quite the attraction. After all where else in the world can you pull your boat up to a tropical palm lined beach and feed swimming pigs.<br />
Of course Just feeding swimming pigs was not enough for my mate Dan. He had to jump off the boat and run up on the beach and kidnap ( pignap) one. Note- no piglets were harmed<br />
The next day was a rough one. we only had to make 100 miles but towing the little boat made for a long slow ride with the seas right on our nose. We pulled into San Sal and were met with one hell of a dinner delivered to the boat. Michelle from Riding Rock and Miss Peaches delivered to the boat a big tray of Miss peached bahamian Mac and cheese, fried and bbq chicken, said and a big bowl of peas and rice. Dam what a good meal it was. The next morning we rode around for thirty minutes and surveyed the damages still left from Hurricane Joaquin. The airport has all kinds of new renovations and a bit of expansion. But there are many homes on the island still with roof damage. The bar and restaurant at Rididng Rock has a big renovation happening. The Drift wood Bar and restaurant were heavily images during the storm. Kevin completely tore the driftwood bar down and is rebuilding it.<br />
He hopes to have it reopened for marlin season. I hope island time does not hinder.<br />
The next morning We left Tyler and Randy on San Salvador and headed south. We fished a bit along the way but caught nothing but Barracudas alnong the way. That is until we got to Mayaguana island. We got some 70- 80 lb wahoos there. Around 5 we anchored up in Abrahams harbor at Mayaguana. This is still one of my favorite places to anchor out for the evening in the Bahamas.<br />
Yesterday morning we left out of Abrahams harbor at first light and trolled up the island. The Cudas were brutal. The north swell that the weather man had been predicting did indeed catch up to us but we had it on the port quarter so the 7-9 and occasionally 10 foot swells were not to bad.<br />
We are now tied up in Blue Haven Marina on Provodenciales Island in the Turks and Caicos. The weather looks better for tomorrow so were are taking a day off. Tomorrow were will head to the Dominican Republic There is an even larger swell coming on Tuesday, so we need to get out of here first thing tomorrow.<br />

I was standing on the back deck a few minutes ago admiring how nice the freshly sanded teak looks and wondering while I shivered from the cold as to why the hell we did not just finish the last 3 square feet of sanding before we went to the hunting camp this past weekend. Then I walk into the cabin and flip on the computer and the first to things I see are the Delta Dawn sitting in a slip at Casa De Campo in the DR and the Who Dat leaving Orange Beach headed for the DR. Im ready to leave tomorrow but the boat is not quite ready Yet.<br />
It always comes down to the final week or so when all the projects we have been doing during the off season come together. Our engines are fresh, We painted the engines and the engine room and made upgrades to the entertainment system. Our teak is nearly sanded. Now we begin stuffing the boat with as much crap as we can.<br />
This last weekend we took the invite from the boss and went up to Yon Creek Plantation. Dan got to shoot his first Deer. Very happy for him. Its always a momentous occasion. Tradition has it that a new hunter upon killing his first deer has to drink the blood or take a bit of the heart of his first kill. This particular deer was a stinky one. so I opted to just smear blood on Dans face. He still nearly puked. AHHHH good times good times. It was nice to go sit in the woods but my mind continuously wandered back to the boat and all we have to do in the 12 days we have remaining before we depart for the Dominican Republic. Lots of waxing and grocery shopping.<br />
I know I have hammered y'all with this, but if any boats are heading south over the next few weeks, Feel free to Stop Off and Drop Off any rebuilding supplies you can think of that could be used by our friends in San Salvador and Flying Fish Marina. Just call one of those marinas before you depart the states and ask what they need. Any rebuilding supplies brought to the islands is STILL DUTY FREE.<br />
San Salvador is still offering one night free dockage for any boat bringing in any substantial relief supplies.<br />
We are surely looking forward to this season, all of our friends along the way and the places it will bring us. I hope you all enjoy the stories from the travels that Dan and I will be doing this season.<br />

At this time of year when we all should find things we are grateful for, like the love of family and friends, I find myself overly grateful for the new friends ( oh hell more like extended family now) that I have come to know do to Hurricane Joaquin. While the Storm that decimated parts of the Bahamas was horrible, It brought out the best in many people.<br />
<br />
The last day the storm was still ravaging the islands, By chance, A man named Adrian Cartwright and I found ourselves on Facebook searching for any news out of the islands. We messaged back and forth and he and I kind of just bonded on that day. I had met him before on San Sal during a heated intoxicated game of Bean Bag toss/ Corn hole. But I really got to know the man over the next few days and weeks.<br />
<br />
In the days after the storm, Plans began to take shape and we began to realize that Adrian and I needed to concentrate on one island each. Adrian took Long Island and I took San Sal. The Bahamas should be proud to call him one of their own. He put so much time and effort into the relief efforts of the islands, especially Long island. Like anyone that lent their time to help, He did not do it for recognition, He did it because it was the right thing to do. Adrian you are a true hero my brother.<br />
<br />
Another person that I have to mention is Capt Richard ( Bric) Peoples. Richard spends a lot of time in the bahamas and he put forth countless hours gathering rebuilding supplies. The monetary value on his efforts was staggering. The amount is irrelevant. The time that he selflessly put into the effort was mind boggling. Towards the end we ended up combining our efforts and I am proud to have worked with a man with such integrity. ( he paid me to say that last part)<br />

Early on in the process, Adam Foster from Blue Haven Marina in the Turks and Caicos called me and put me in touch with a wonderful woman named Dhardra Blake. She works with Yacht aid Global. YAG Uses the resources of the yachting community to deliver disaster relief and aid. Now I had know idea what I was doing when I Started to put together a relief effort for San Salvador. Nor did I have any idea what an undertaking it would be. But, After talking to Dhardra, she made it a lot easier. She is so knowledgable and had so many suggestions for our efforts. That is one driven woman. I was glad to have had her on our team. Yacht Aid Global is an organization that I hope to work hand in had with in the future.<br />
<br />
Seldom do you hear much good about any politicians. More than that how about one that answers the phone. I was fortunate enough to be put in touch with a man named Micheal Pintard. Mr Pintard is a senator in the Bahamas. I called him many times and he was so supportive. He has helped to keep the relief supplies duty free as we push every boat heading south this season to Stop Off And Drop Off rebuilding supplies. From what I have seen in his efforts, Mr Pintard is a very honorable man and truly cares about the people of the Bahamas.( Not just his own political career) I thank Mr Pintard for all of his continued support. The Bahamian government needs more Politicians like him.<br />

There is no possible way I could have continued the efforts I have made with out Capt. Barb Evans. She asked if she could help out in any way. Boy did she ever step up. I asked her if she could facilitate the Stop Off And Drop Off program. Little did I know that she would take it so far. Her endless work that she has put in on line and on the phone has made the SODO program what it is. Dozens of boats have already dropped off supplies and countless more boats plan to drop off as they head south due to her efforts. Capt Barb is like the Every ready Bunny. She just keeps going and going and....<br />

As I mentioned at the beginning of this, I have made so many acquaintances in trying to help out our friends in the Bahamas. They have become friends and kind of a small family. People like Bianca Major that has headed up relief efforts for Long Island and Tim Newman who has lent so much support. There are countless others that I need to thank and just because your names are not here, that does not mean you are not valued. Locksly Cartwright, Kim Griffin, Michelle Williams, Paterson.... God I could go on for days. So many people have come together.<br />
<br />
When I started the Go Fund Me page, It blew me away how much support was put forth. I can not list all of the donors names as there were hundreds. I thank you all.<br />
<br />
I have already said this, But none of the people that I have named here gave their time because they were asked. They all did it because IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Thanks from myself and the people of the islands effected by Joaquin.<br />

Tis the Season to finish up projects and start thinking about getting the boat ready to head south!<br />
The last few months have been filled with fixing all the stuff we abused or broke during the last season. We rebuilt bot of our engines due to a glitch Cat Engine had with piston rings that failed prematurely. We had Ralph and Brandon from Middleton Marine do the work. Wow what a great job they did. I can not say enough good things about the work they did.<br />
<br />
This cooler temps upon us, we tend to be drawn to the woods. The boss has a great camp in North Florida "Yon Creek Planation". I try to get up there as much as possible. Its just nice to be able to go sit in a tree and watch nature go by. Dan and I did do a bit of work helping out to get the place ready for hunting season. But its great work. Hanging out in the woods, Filling feeders and getting hunting boxes and tree stands dialed in for the season. Dan and I sat quite a bit last week in some tree stands. It proved to be frustrating though. It seemed that the only deer that walked near the tree stands were doe with fawns. We do not orphan on out property. But its still pretty cool to sit and watch. One afternoon I had 2 doe and 4 fawns feeding directly below my ladder stand. It was kinda neat watching the fawns bouncing around. On another occasion. My buddy sat in a ground blind and had a doe nearly stick her head inside the blind. How does the saying go? its not about the kill... its about the Hunt.<br />
<br />
With two weeks to go before christmas, We have just two big projects left. Dan and I are painting the engines and engine room and we still have to sand the Teak back deck before we head south. This time of year just seems to fly to me. I hope to get a fishing trip in before Christmas ( if we can find anything that NMFS does not have closed season on). Then that last week of December is taken up with family stuff and the New Year.<br />
<br />
We are still pushing the Stop Off and Drop Off Program for boats heading south this coming season. <span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.38;">As you all go to Home Depot or Lowes, Think about grabbing a big box of construction screws or a bucket of roofing nails and throw it in the bilge. When you stop in San Sal or Long Island or Rum as you head south., Drop those supplies off. There are still hundreds of homes that are destroyed or damaged from Hurricane Joaquin. They are really having a rough time of it. The Day before you leave, Run by Home Depot or Lowes again and grab a roll of roofing paper or a sheet or two of plywood. anything helps. If ten boats bring one sheet of plywood, that equals a roof on a house. Thanks again to all of those boats that have already helped. And please share this post so that we can get others to Stop Off and Drop Off. Capt Barb Evans has been doing a great job with keeping everyone up to date of relief efforts and helping to answer questions and organize the efforts. If you have any questions, feel free to call her at 239-572-0887.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
