Unlike the trip from h--l we had going home, the flights back to Bimini were all on time and without incident. We actually departed Fort Lauderdale and arrived in Bimini a few minutes early :) After clearing customs, a short taxi ride and water taxi ride it was oh so good to be back in Bimini once again!!! As we were pulling our suitcases down the street J.R. saw us coming and greeted us with a handshake and a hug and as always....a really big smile! Yes, it felt like we were home!!!! It was really really good to lay eyes on the ole Feeding Frenzy III once again. Freddie showed up within minutes of our arrival and announced he had washed her down in anticipation of our arrival. She was fresh and clean thanks to Freddie :) We got out the bikes and rode to Stuart's for conch salad and a cold Kalik and ended up at Sherry's for cracked conch and lobster and of course....a Gombay Smash! Since we had been up since 3:00 a.m. we muddled our way back down the hill and hit the hay early. Thursday we slept in then CTM crawled into the basement to continue working on our engine issue. He took the fuel pickup line loose and on the recommendation of our good friend and captain of the Captain Cadillac, Billy Chapman, blew the line out with a scuba tank we had on board. Once it was all hooked back up we decided to take a test drive. Well, all I can say is.....CTM....MY HERO!!!! Once again we are back to 100%! The seas were calm and we had a cooler full of cold beer so we looked at each other with a sigh of relief and said, "LET'S GO FISHING!" The fishing report isn't as good as the engine news.....2 Mr. Barry Cudas.....but we enjoyed the sunshine, cold beer, and calm seas :)
We are heading out this morning to grouper troll and bottom fish with Freddie. Stay tuned for the fishing report! Catch you on the flip flop......

Awesome - hope CTM got lucky :)
