Hook, Line, and Sinker has gone way down hill. Petit Pump Room or French Quarter Bistro are better options. Have fun!

We watched a boat go down today on the reef by the airport. It was a large sailing catamaran, and as we approach from Guana, the mast went down and the boat rolled over. We called VISAR and they confirmed that the crew was safe, but it was such a sad situation!
We were headed to Oil Nut Bay, but when we got there it was too rough for the night. We turned around and ended up in Leverick. We had dinner upstairs and it was fantastic. I can’t get the sight of that boat and the nightmare that crew went through out of my head! Here is a video of it sinking. Heartbreaking...

That area is redlined for all charter companies as far as I know. This is a demonstration of why. You could go through there 5 times without a issue. This would be the sixth! G

Spent the night at Marina Key. The balls appear in reasonable shape but did not appear to be maintained. Wind stayed in the 18 to 20 knot range. Watched several grossly over canvased boats trying to sail upwind. Reefing is based on apparent wind. The boat will sail much better reefed and the rig will appreciate it. Takes a extra 2 or 3 minutes to put a reef in hoisting the main. I also saw the interesting technique of rolling out the jib and then trying to hoist the main. Not sure how much life was left in the jib after they finished! We are at the baths now. 3 boats here at 8:45. Seems like 25 years ago! I am guessing half the balls are missing. In general all the day use balls appear to be in terrible condition and no one servicing them. Oil nut bay is the plan for the night. Let me know if I can help you out with anything regarding Oil Nut Bay George!
