Left Bimini Bound for The Berry Islands

Departed Bimini Jan 19 for a beautiful calm trip to Bullocks Harbour – about an 8 hour trek at a slow pace.
En route from Bimini to Great Harbour Cay Marina in the Berry Islands, we encountered some small lobster boats. Then we saw several more and realized they belonged to a “Mother Ship”. Each small boat probably a 21 foot Aubrey had an air pump pumping air down to a diver. This was in about 65 feet of water. They were getting the lobsters out of “condos” which is a 4x8 sheet of plywood sitting on blocks. The diver turns them over and catches the lobsters and takes them back to the little boat. The Mother Ship is a lot like a whaling vessel. We have been told that a rather well known seafood chain (with the word lobster in its name!) gets their supply of lobsters from here. These are not Maine lobsters and they do not have claws, but they are wonderful.
We bought 4 dozen lobsters in Bimini, have consumed some and froze the rest.
