We are back in the 21st Century...phew!!!! I get kinda crazy when I don't have internet so I spent the last 6 days feeling like I was lost in the Bermuda Triangle (some of it had to do with the rum I think)! We arrived at Hawk's Nest on Cat Island on Monday and on Tuesday when I made the post about CTM rigging up the Big Dog for the hunt for the Big Dog little did I know that we were stealing wireless signal from a big a-- fishing boat that pulled out on Tuesday. There went our internet for the rest of the week except for in the main office. Needless to say, there was always a BIG line of people wanting to use it so blogging was OUT OF THE QUESTION!!!! Hawk's Nest on Cat Island is all about fishing! Unfortunately for Cindy and Karen there wasn't any shopping nor was there much of a beach. However, it had a very casual atmosphere. There was an honor bar...mix your own drinks and write it down, no locks on the doors of the rooms, if you wanted dinner you had to order in advance and seating was at 7:30ish! Most nights we had them cook our catch and did they ever! You could give them as much as you wanted and they would cook it all! We had a pile every evening (gonna let CTM elaborate on this). My kids and CTM can tell you that generally when I meet someone I know everything about them in five minutes. However, Cindy and Karen are the champs! They knew EVERYTHING about EVERYBODY and was on a first name basis with them all. There was Jerry and Jane (the owners of Hawk's Nest), Anton, jack of all trades, JR and Randy, the managers (C & K have a definite opinion about these two), their obnoxious son (can't remember his name), Savannah (this was a fisherman from Savannah, GA that they called "Savannah" because they couldn't remember his first name), Ena the waitress, Eva the cook (Ena's mom), and you'll have to ask them the name of the fisherman that they thought was "eye candy!" A good time was had by all! We are in Cape Eleuthera and revelling in the fact that we have internet and are taking the day off to rest, let our livers rest, and catch up on our blogging so stay tuned.....it'll knock your socks off!

Catch you on the flip flop....
