We met Kevin at the Dock in Placencia at 7:00 am and headed east to a place which Kevin had, before we left Florida, promised me that if I would bring down some Crazy Charlie Flies, he would guarantee that we would catch a Bonefish.  

After about an hours boat ride, we pulled in between two small Cayes and Kevin rigged up our spinning lines (we did not bring Fly Rods with us) with a small sinker at the end of the line and a crazy Charlie fly tied to a 1' loop in the line about two feet up the line.  These rigs were then cast out and allowed to slowly sink to the bottom.  On most casts the sinker never reached the bottom before we had a Bonefish of anywhere from 1-1/2 to 3 Lbs on and running. We fished in the same place for about 2-1/2 hours and boated a total of 24 Bonefish.

Kevin really impressed me as a guide as he spent a great deal of time helping Norma catch Bonefish. He did not neglect me but he did direct his talents and knowledge as a fishing guide where they were needed and appreciated.  Final tally, Me 10 Bonefish, Norma 14 Bonefish.  Next time he helps me!

About 11:00 o'clock we left that spot and headed in the direction of Laughing Bird Caye where we would snorkel and have lunch.  On the way we made several stops at small reefs where Kevin would jump overboard with nothing but a pair of goggles and disappear under water for what seemed like hours at a time (really 2-3 minutes) and would come up with a lobster which he would put in the bottom of the boat.

At about noon we arrived at Laughing Bird Caye and decided to go snorkeling before lunch.  To snorkel at Laughing Bird Caye, you just go in off of the beach as the reef and drop off are only about 150 feet from shore. This makes it nice as you don't have to go through the trouble of getting back in the boat without loosing your fins or breaking something.

Kevin swam right along with us and pointed out marine life that our untrained eyes did not even see until he pointed them out. His vast knowledge of the marine life on the reef really made snorkeling interesting.

We snorkeled for a couple of hours and then went ashore where, after we all collected any kind of dry wood or Coconut Husk, Kevin dug a shallow hole and built a nice fire.  He then cleaned the Lobster and some shrimp he had brought along and spread the seafood out on a piece of aluminum foil. He spread chopped onion and other veggies on top and seasoned with his secrete Creole seasonings and wrapped the edges of the foil to enclose this mixture.  He then sliced some potatoes and onions on another sheet of foil and sprinkled cheese on top of this with some seasonings and folded this into a pouch also. He then put both pouches on a piece of wire mesh, which he had brought with him, over the fire to cook while he prepared a melon salad.  

I must, categorically say that the meal was one of the tastiest and finest that I ever ate, anywhere. Of course eating it after catching Bonefish all morning, having a marvelous 2 hours of snorkeling with an expert guide and having lunch on a wonderful deserted island could not have had anything to do with it.
