Conch Crawling and Tiloo Cay
A view of Tiloo Cay from the Sea of Abaco.
Sorry guys - tried to upload a video of Browntip and "Rake and Scrape" music, but it wouldn't upload!!!!
On Friday night we went "conch crawling" (aka pub crawling) with most of dock #7. We first went to Mangos and saw "Brown Tip" who does "rake and scrape" by playing saws. I've enclosed a video so you can experience it too! From Mangos it was onto Curly Tails Bar where we saw a really great band and even managed to shake a leg!
Today (Sunday) we backed out of the slip bound for Tiloo Cay where there is a bird sanctuary and supposedly, wild parrots, etc. fly at will. Well......we motored Long Gone up and down the coast of Tiloo looking for a place to dinghy in but after an hour, we gave up. It's a very rocky coast and the only docks that we saw were private. The Island is also very rocky and we were looking for path from the Sea of Abaco side to the Atlantic Ocean side so that we could beachcomb, etc. Unfortunately, we didn't see either so came back to Marsh Harbour and are now docked again. Bummer!
We're hoping that the weather will warm somewhat and we'll be able to once again explore by dinghy. I'm getting hungry for another lobster so it's time for "Team Long Gone" to go find a coral head and hunt!
We hope that you are all staying warm!!!
