Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) fishing

Yes folks it's that time again. The dolphin are running in schools.The Man-O-War Marina held their annual tournament and once again the much anticipated event brought people to our shores for a visit so they could participate. The locals look forward to this event also. A few of the men AND even a lady take a few days off of work to compete to see who can reel in the biggest dolphin. This year the weather didn't cooperate so well. It was quite windy and the wave action was a hot topic.

On the final night the Marina hosted an awards dinner at the Dock N Dine restaurant and presented numerous awards. The food was fabulous and included peas n rice, macaroni and cheese, green beans, grilled baby back ribs, fried fish, and prime rib. I worked on the evening of the awards and I must say it looked as if everyone was having a fantastic time!

I was especially happy to see that a past customer of mine who I had sold a home to on Man-O-War had flown in for the special occasion and brought a couple of friends with him. It is so nice to see our second home owners enjoying our island and participating in local events.

The weather the past few days have actually been much nicer and a lot more people are out there casting their rods and reeling them in. I think that many people will be enjoying a few meals of grilled Mahi Mahi over the next few months.
