Dat life / 10

Das it! More pics and some vids later

[XtremeOCD]

Finally back home. Got pounded in 20ft seas in a 37ft Pursuit! Made it home safely though. Just a few pics I had on my phone. Still have to mess with the under water video and footage.

Stopped to feed the wild iguanas





The beach where we docked. Because it was like a cove, it was the only calm place we had been










High rollers chilling on heir mega yacht. Their "tender" boat, I would be happy with as a personal boat not wanting anything more. :/

God I love Exuma

[XtremeOCD]

^ yea it's really nice!

Just to kill some time until I can sort out the underwater stuff

[XtremeOCD]

Here's a little video of us feeding the fish and the sharks at the dock. I brought a back up camera with us which I needed and the color setting wasn't set right, but still came out ok. Uploading one where we pulled the shark out of the water without a hook to youtube in a few and will post it.

Another small video of us pulling a shark out of the water

[XtremeOCD]

Last one of shark feeding

[XtremeOCD]

Will post more pics tomorrow. Have a few more to share from is trip. :-)

[Hosum]

That's pretty cool, were you in the water during the feeding?

[Puur]

Opie is a really cool guy.

[VabaX]

cool vids. is it just the camera, or is the water kinda murky?

[XtremeOCD]

I took a back up camera in case mine kicked the bucket and it so happens it did. The color setting wasn't set on the new camera for underwater recording so I got terrible color. Water was crystal clear. You will see the difference in the pictures later that came from the original camera when I post them before that camera's seal broke.

Hosum...I wasn't in the water. I was actually cleaning fish I speared and feeding the sharks with the guts etc. the camera was on a pole.

[XtremeOCD]

These ones were taken with my original camera.








This one with the new camera with no color setting set. Pretty bummed I lost some potentially good footage. Also, I didn't have the camera mounted to my goggles when I was spearing. OCD issue with snorkel and camera placement I wont get into lol.

Some photos from Sandyport's advertisement for the Bahamas





Atlantis this past weekend. Best friend's mom stayed the weekend





My buddy from Spanish Wells making living.

Missed one. Here is a shot of the island I'm originally from (Grand Bahama island). This use to be the most happening booming island in the Bahamas, but has had it's hardships in the past few years. Hopefully things turn around for them soon, but it's all politics why it is the way it is.

Grand Bahama was planned out properly. They have tons of canals that lead to the ocean around the entire island which makes owning a boat so much easier. You don't have to pay for dockage. Just pull up to your own house and dock there. Here in Nassau, most people have to put their boats at a shipyard of some sort and pay monthly fees. My wife's cousin pays $600 a month to dock his 37 ft boat. Build your house on the canal and you can walk out of your house, jump right in your boat and hit the beach.

Saw this thread a while back and totally forgot to Sub it!!! FML .... just got back a couple weeks ago. Had a great time. People were really nice.






Frozen Mojito....best ever!!!





Stay safe OP

[Buccaneer82]

Blackwood Pointe project needs to start on the East end of Grand Bahama, that'll turn the economy around and help me stay employed a few more years doing what I'm doing.

[XtremeOCD]

Lmao! I took a picture of that sign downtown on Shirley Street to post here, but it came out terrible because I was driving I trying to snap the picture and never went back to re-take it. There is another lulzy one in an area I'm sure you don't pass. When I pass again, I'll grab a shot, but it says:

Abstinence covers your "doggie" better than a condom lol

Pretty dam lul'zy ... mirin your location bro. Went to the beach almost everyday with a small ice chest of beer and snacks for my pregnant wife and just floated face down snorkeling in the water til I got hungry or thirsty.

[CLTRD]

Oh my lord.. mirin these photos... checking ticket prices

[XtremeOCD]

Lol!


A friend is a photographer and took this



A few others




Some fish a friend caught this weekend.

[XtremeOCD]

Not sure if I posted this one yet



Some others.

Storms a brewing



When you see a conch with a lip as defined as this know you have a big one. Conchs also make pearls (some of them - google it). In my lifetime I found one conch with a pearl. It was pink. I was young (probably 10 years old) and gave it to my older cousin because I knew she collected cool stuff like this and she lost it







Some lionfish my buddy speared. The rule of thumb here now is kind of "if you see a lionfish, kill it" sort of deal. They aren't native to our waters and do to someone mishandling them and releasing some (they say the incident too place in Carolina) but a fish only found in the eastern hemisphere is now on this side of the world. They are all through the Caribbean now. Not sure if my buddy got them to eat because hey are supposedly very tasty fish, or just removing them from spawning again but here was his catch that day

My aunt spent the weekend at the Cove in Eleuthera. Here are some pics she took

[XtremeOCD]

Some weekend additions

[Hosum]

Very nice pics!

[seanb1979]

those iguanas seem to have no fear of people at all

None whatsoever. Neither the pics earlier ITT. They are protected and people go to these little cays to feed them. Some guys (probably miscers ) killed one of the iguanas and cooked it on the beach and ate it and posted it on ******** and got in big trouble lol.

Very nice pics!

Thanks buddy!
