Goodfellows Travels: Monday 12th June 2006: Our last day in Caye Caulker

Our last day on the island was quite sad. We had come to meet some lovely people but it was time to move on to Guatemala. However, we had the best end to our time on the island when we went fishing with Ras.

We were having our last night drinks at The Lazy Lizard Bar. We met Ras at the bar so we all had a drink together and when Ras realised that it was our last day he invited us to go “Catch some fish” right then! So, the three of us got into this little skiff boat with our rum punches and some bait, hook and lines and went to hunt some snapper fish. It was such a fantastic end to our time on the island – fishing in the carribbean. The sun was setting, the breeze was just right, and we were sat on the boat throwing in a lines and picking up bites frequently. We all caught own fish but Ras caught the most fish as he was the master fisherman! We didn ‘t reaslise there were so many different variety of snapper and in our short time (about half an hour) out on the boat we caught three different types; Red, Mutton and Silk Snappers! Once we’d caught enough fish for dinner we took the fish to Maurice and he cooked them for us on the grill – a great last supper on Caye Caulker.
