Got up at 6:30 to listen to Chris Parker to confirm that today was the day to go. It was. Wind was light and variable all day. We motored all day and dropped anchor north of Mackie Shoal. We did some trolling and proved what we had been told- on the Great Bahama Bank you won't catch anything but barracuda when you're trolling. Caught a two foot one and a four foot one. What a fight that was getting him in the boat. Forty miles from the nearest land it is very quiet and there are many thousands of stars in the sky. It was odd to drop our anchor in what felt like the middle of the ocean, nothing for miles around. But the water was only 23 feet deep. It was another calm night. We laid up on deck and marveled at the stars for an hour or so. I counted eight falling stars. No bugs!
