Bimini, Bahamas

Images of life on the Stray Cat, 20 - 24 June 2007

" Captain Mark's voice at the dinner table, a tenor perfectly pitched to the sea he loves.
" Dolphin fish fresh from the sea, grilled with olive oil and coarse sea-salt
" Fiercely contested Scrabble games as darkness falls
" Glassy surface of waves, continually changing in their varieties of blue-green, as they undulate below the catamaran's trampoline
" Moonlight shining off the surface of black water as it laps against the bow
" An early morning dive off the bow into the crystal blue sea mask and snorkel not required for pristine bottom views
" Schools of manrays, stealthily gliding as they approach the feet of human interlopers.
" Snorkeling near an abandoned tanker, rust-covered but noble in its final destination.
" Sound of fishing rods, heavy with their catch, clicking insistently, like a mighty watch
" The catamaran's vast white sail, crisply marked against the blue sky
" Wiffle-ball on the most attractive field in the world - the diamond-shaped bar formed by opposing currents on the beach of an uninhabited island
" Freshly ground and brewed coffee, tastier than Starbucks and complete with a view of the warm Caribbean Sea
" Skirting the edges of a thunder storm toward Key Largo while anticipating anchor by the Mango trees
" An outdoor shower to cleanse the salt & imbibe the placid azure undulations.
" The serene perspective to be found in the vastness of the sea.
