And said they would take me fishing but we never got around to it. It's one of my travel regrets. I really wanted to go out on a boat with them. Total local culture to where I was staying. So many fishermen.

An honour. So thanks for popping in. I 'll get over tonight to check out your blog and the others that were nominated.<br /><br />Jeremy, we have been making bigger snapper catches. Proves the worth of Marine Reserves, as it gives fish the protected areas to grow to full size.<br />Plenty more that size. There are many fishing charter businesses for tourists to have the same fun. I'll have to publish a list of some.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618511960243841803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-15446951722517433702011-03-14T15:40:20.615-07:002011-03-14T15:40:20.615-07:00Bloody hell Jim, that fish is massive!

Not o keen on the sashimi Jorie. <br /><br />AJ, any time you're coming over let us know. We'll take you out and dangle you overboard...there are sharks out there. A big one surfaced right by the boat as Tim was leaning over. Strangest thing to see him running around, so shocked he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. By the time he could talk, the shark was gone.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618511960243841803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-68089340965308847282011-03-12T20:30:02.223-08:002011-03-12T20:30:02.223-08:00Hey Jim!
