The Lobster Season's Finale'

Well everyone, the lobster season has come to an end, and the Summer begins. This, as I understand, is one of those five years that some of the other World Lobster markets are also open. This means the price on the market is much more tolerable for the not so high-enders.

Needless to say, it does affect the fisherman here in the Bahamas, but it makes the product of seafood more desireable at times like these. I've heard the fisherman on a whole have had a pretty good catch, some even to venture to say as many or more lobster than last year. So at the end of the season there are lobster to eat. But...the price hasn't been as good as expected. And in todays economy that's less desireable.

We'll look for a better price come August, and hopefully an even better catch.

Although it's still a little cool and the beaches are a little bare, it doesn't change the fact that we live in one of the best summertime vacation spots in the world. The Bahamas has a great variety of pleasures for the vacationers. It also has some of the greatest Real Estate adventures of our time. Not far from the US, the Bahamas is an easy travel spot. The many hosts of the Bahamas can be easily accessed to help you find the right spot for your vacation or your Summer Home.

Come and visit us here in the beautiful Bahamas. A Coldwell Banker/Lightbourn Realty team member can help you with any adventure and the great open Atlantic Ocean is limitless for fun and adventure...

The Lobster Season is almost Over!

And so it's the middle of March now and the lobster season is nearly over. Many of the fishing vessels make a very short mid-trip escape home to rejuvenate their bodies and their fuel tanks. If there are any minor repairs to be done this would also be the time to get it done. They usually off-load any catch they have to their local buyer.

Then a couple of days rest and it's back to the fishing grounds to finish off what they started all the way back in August.

The photo shows one of the fishing trawlers that has the distinguished design of many of the lobster vessels that birth here at Spanish Wells in the Bahamas. They accomodate a full 7-9 man crew(or sometimes more) with all the perks of being at home, (besides the wife, of course), and are able to stay out to sea for extended periods of time. Some often venture out for more than 4 weeks from time to time and travelling as far as Cay Lobos, which borders the Gulf Stream across from Cuba. On a clear night you can see the transient sea-going ships in the passage and oft times you can see the repetitive glare of the Cuban Lighthouses.

The extraordinary efforts wiil soon pay off to those hard working fishermen. And be sure there'll be another post to let you know how enthused the guys were about this season...

Lobster Fishing

Although it looks quiet and serene here, this is not the case. Almost all of the thirty-some fishing vessells are out to sea trying their best to make up for any lost time this lobster season. The season runs from Aug. 1st through March 31st. This time of year sometimes becomes hectic, with rusty weather and the soon closing season. It may seem like there's a whole month ahead, but with many things that can go wrong everyone is trying to make the best of the time they have.

While setting up for the rest of the first quarter of this year, we will be overlooking our Real Estate Inventory. This picture is one of the properties on beautiful Russell Island. It has approx 190' of waterfront and an apporox 2.4 acres lot. The elevation here is wonderful. The property stretches from the main road(Vivian Pinder Road) all the way to the sea. It also overlooks the beautiful, shallow, Caribbean waters, towards the South. The trade winds add to the peaceful tranquility of this setting. For more information give us a call or write or email.
