Purka was packed with bonefish. Here I've spotted a pair waiting for the tide to open the path to the mangroves. The fly is served, and quite cockily I decide to snap a few pictures before the retrieve..

Thursday was even worse, we spend the day bar-hopping and blindfishing in anticipation of the storm passing us in the afternoon.

The rainstorm came and we decided it was time to head back and numb our senses with vast amounts of rum.

Frank on his determined and heroic search for bonefish in the miserable weather. A handful of fish were spotted, but that's was as close as we got that day. A rain storm on its way to drive home that point that some days are truly better spent indoors.

My new Orvis shoes was a painful experience. They appear to be loosely based on the Sideshow Bob character from the Simpsons, and they were about an inch too narrow for me.

My feet are killing me. They really were, my new vading boots didn't even come close to fitting my wide feet, and most of the day was spent on the shore drowing the pain in the Kalik.

Frank out on the flat on the first afternoon, just a few hours after landing on Abaco. Perfect conditions with high tide for a quick search for hungry bones.

The combination of high tide, slight wind and thick clouds made it difficult to spot the fish. A rainbow was our concelation prize.

High tide usually makes the bones hunt along the shore, and this day was no exception. I spotted a school of bones on the prowl with their tails breaking the surface every now and then. A school of bones is vagely visible making their way to the dark spot.
