After breakfast we took the dinghy to the island for a few
hours and had the beach to ourselves.
I don't know why they call it Shell Island?
This was a hard anchorage to leave, but we wanted to be
at our next anchorage before dark. We
purchased our Florida fishing license while at Panama City and as soon as we
dropped anchor at Pearl Bayou we started fishing. I started about 15 minutes before Moni, but
guess who gets the first bite. And what
a surprise it was.
A Florida Blue Crab.
Of course we had to Google if it was legal to keep it,
how to clean it, and how to cook it.
Yes, he drew blood before I was able to get control of him.
I know, it was only one crab, but it tasted great!
I think this is a juvenile eagle.
Pearl Island is a well protected anchorage surrounded by trees.

So glad you have this blog - it's awesome reading about your daily adventures! Cannot wait to see you and hear more about your journeys in 26 sleeps!
Thanks! We can't wait either.
Fresh crabs are great, aren't they? You can catch them with a sturdy string and some chicken necks too, Bon appetite'!
We'll have to give that a try :)
