June 2017 Inspiration
 

Great YouTube video from 2014 of a 77 Sceptre with a 300 Yamaha on a bracket going to Rosie's on Grand Cay and back.

A good time was had by all...

The boat now has a hard top. Forum member Riley's 77 23Sceptre out of Central Florida. He would be a good buddy boat crossing over to the Abacos next year.

Elbow Cay drone footage......kick back with a Corona and watch the drone fly over your next CSC Spring/Summer Gathering destination 2017.

You're taking this Bahamas thing serious! :) Got a new dependable engine that gets great mileage and your all over this! I like it!!

Yessiree! It is the #1 plan for next year. We have to raise the bar between the Keys and Abacos!

Those guys may not have realized it, but they technically broke the law by going ashore at Walkers before they cleared customs! Protocol is that until you've cleared customs, you're supposed to fly the yellow quarantine flag, only the skipper is allowed to get off the boat, and that's to go find the customs guy. The quarantine flag is to be replaced with the Bahamian courtesy flag once you've cleared.

Maybe no big deal since Walkers is apparently abandoned, but it's important to remember that you're in a foreign country, and ignorance of their laws is no excuse! The Bahamians are particularly strict when it comes to enforcing fishing limits, especially on taking lobsters out of season. That's about the only natural resource they have, so they've been know to confiscate boats found with illegal lobsters on board! And they use a bounty system, so locals that report lawbreakers can get part of the fine!

Back in 2014, at the time of the video, the Walker's Customs office was there. The video says the customs agent wasn't there (common for Bahamas time!)It has closed since then. From Florida Sportsman in 2015 ...."customs is on grand. They will shuttle you to the customs office. A New customs will be built on Walkers."

They are serious for sure....not a place to have Spider Crab......! At least it is legal to spear lobster with a sling in season.
