Boat to Corn Islands

[Dolly]

Someone told me there is a new FAST boat from the mainland to the Islands. Is it true? If so where does it leave from and when? How long does it take and how much is it?

[JGiraldezB]

New boat! Maybe the one that sank was replaced, anyone have info on this?
NOW Watch this thread turn into how to cook crab cake---?

You ever notice that when you have an allergy you snot is clear, but when you have an infection is colored. I have heard Yellow, green, and in some cases yellowish green with red?

Randude....:LMAO:......

But getting back to Dolly's question......

My preferences is going onboard the "Captian D with Capt. Norman Downs...

Taking into consideration,

1... I want a fairly comfortable trip and his vessel meets those requirements.....

2 Any "Fast Boat" in the open Ocean which 80% of the time is a 10 to 20 knot wind and 4 foot seas.....

Will not only put a bit of salt in your eyes, but give your kidneys a sound pounding.......

I prefer the slower but less stressful on my body "Trip" that this vessel makes to Corn Island and Colombia Islands......

"Hard, fast, wet and wild.... pounding and grinding against the flow of things".....Sounds to me like a young man's ride!

"Slow, rhythmic and in harmony with the natural motion of things. Taking it all in and paying attention to each reaction and movement."
The older more experienced rider's preference!

Wet and wild, pounding and salty, describes my one round trip by panga from Big to Little. (Corn Island, you pervs.)

:LMAO:...Now if you had not made that last little comment, one of those famous one liners from a doublewide in Hicksville.....

I would not be laughing right now....:LMAO:

Take the "Captain D". Yes the other is a little faster, but Captain Norman Downs despite his eccentricities gets the people and cargo to the island with the minimum wear and tear even in the worst weather. Lest we forget, the Christmas high season is usually accompanied by wicked north winds which toss smaller boats around like corks in the spin cycle of Maytag washer. Plus you may get the experience of sharing the deck with live cattle, hogs and chickens on the high seas. A slice of medieval life for the price of a boat ride.

"Captain D". and Captain Norman Downs"

Is Norman still running an ex USCG Bouytender?
I met Norman in Miami, actually when he and his newly purchased USCG Bouytender was trying to leave south Florida without a USCG certified crew into international waters. He was detained and returned to the Miami port and was in some pretty hot water when we went to visit him on a Sunday morning. Captain Arturo Mohrke, got his fine dropped with his friends at the local Coast Guard station. Arturo was the last Captain for the Sea Mist II that delivered Cargo to Nicaragua from the Miami River (Bermuth lines)

I took the last trip that Ship made (M/V SEA MISTII) to Nicaragua. Miami River-San Andres-El Bluff-Rama-Bluefield Harbor-Puerto Cabezas-Miami

You are a bit behind times Sweetheart, Capt. Norman has been working here for years.....

The "Sea Mist" got caught with a barrel of "White Snappers" (read this Drugs).....

And her permission to enter the States denied......

Where she is working now I do not know.....

[randude]

Anyone have a good recipe for crab cake?

[JGiraldezB]

I never said it was yesterday, (Sweetheart) this might get weird now?
I just remember the Bouytender and the name...
and all I wanted to know is that is this the ship he is using.
The SeaMist was last seen (by me) on the Miami River after that trip.
Maybe the barrel came back to Miami with me onboard. (It was crab cake )

About not allowing her (The Sea Mist) back in ? well makes no sense...she was docked on the river for a year or so after that.

[JGiraldezB]

Oh boy, all I hear out of my TV set while writing is Nicaragua, Nicaragua, Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, Nicaragua, Obama, Hugo Chavez, Nicaragua, oh boy

[Just Plain John Wayne]

Heysuschristy Randude fish cakes are the same just make substitutions with the fish with crab......

Google it man, but YAK now he can get hold of some of that there "Old Bay" seasoning and with that you can take a cow pattie and make it "Fit" to eat.....
