Conch

Yesterday we went to lunch (by boat, of course) at the Sea Spray
resort, down near the south end of the island. We at fried conch for
the first time. The taste is very similar to calimari, very tasty.
Later we motored up to the north end to see if we could find some
conch near the beach. We didn't have any success with the conch, but
we did find the skeleton of a sea biscuit which was in good shape, so
we collected it. We also stopped by the Hopetown museum to see some of
the local history. We were a little rushed to get to lunch, so I hope
to get back and look at some of their books on the local Bahamian
sailing craft.Today we plan to take a boat up to Johnny's Cay for some
snorkeling.
