Why….I remember being out one still night …waters calm and we’ll…you could hear a pin drop.
I am out of coot pond and straight out kitchens shoal or there abouts I remember four things on separate occasions all on quiet still nights, one…we felt a thud on the hull and an added weight to the hull that slowed the hills movement …then over the gunnel of our seventeen Johnny Grey built boat (shin bone ally St. Georges),then a diamond shaped pad from a very large squid reached in the vessel and started fumbling around looking for someone, something to eat…yadda yadda yadda…another still night a whale surfaced four feet next to us and looked right at us….another still night we were paid a visit by Ball lightning…this was a very dangerous but exciting occurance…It actually settled into my outstretched open palm,glided down my arm floated round my body then back on my hand I raised my hand and reduced contact to finger tip and it rose ten feet then started back down…so I showed it away…it started back up then…a blinding magnesium flash and what sounded like a sonic boom up close and personal pushed the whole boat briefly down one foot under the surface of the water it bobed right back up and instinct told me to start bailing with a five gallon bucket then a portable hand pump…wooden boats sink fast when full of water and we were lucky.
Lastly…and this you will have to decide is true or not but…another still night when whales were passing threw…I saw beneath the surface a beautiful half fish half woman and what appears to be a mermaid…well she looked at me and spoke to me telepathically …she was saying come into the water with me (I guess she was frisky and wanted my company),I was tempted cause she had a very nice rack and her hair was long and swirled nicely in the water…I still look for her at night when….it is still.

There is so much history surrounding us. So glad that we have someone of Dr. Rouja’s knowledge and experience dedicated to making sure future generations gain an interest also.

Say the name Gibraltar and many know where it is,
mention Bermuda and you get a where’s that?
