Right now we are anchored near Fox Town. Yesterday we left from West Palm Beach at 3:00 am. Mom and Dad got up at 2am and pulled the anchor at 2:20. It started out rough and then it got less stressful. The first place we saw land was Mangrove Cay. When we couldn't see land I was very nervous. The second place we saw land was Great Sail Cay. It was so fun! On the way over to Great Sail Cay, we saw a dolphin in the clear blue water. She was right on the bow of the boat. We were wondering what she was doing and all of a sudden I said, "She's trying to play with us!!" I really, really, really, wanted to jump in the water with him or her.

Earlier that day we caught a dolphin. Not a mammal dolphin but a MAHI-MAHI!! They are the best Bahamas fish! We gaffed (sharp hook) it and I went down to our room because I don't like killing fish. The Mahi-Mahi turned blue, green, yellow , gray, purple , and black when we killed it.It was very sad when we killed it,it felt like we were sucking his or her life up in a straw.

Hey Kaitlyn! I miss you so much. We caught our second big snapper a couple of days ago. I really miss the snow, but instead of sliding on snow, we are swimming! It's really fun here. I feel like I need more bathing suits. I hope you build a snow fort for me and tell me all about it. Say hi to all my friends at school, especially Siobhan and Roy.
