The Conchquistador

One of the ways to get out in the water is to dive for conch, or be the one driving the dinghy as Ben dives for conch.  We went out from Man O War Cay with Chris and Deke and their poodle, Penny, who likes to supervise.
Way to go, Ben!

And another one!

The shells are all sandy and sea weedy, I don't know how Ben could see them on the bottom.

OK, how do we get these critters out?

We get a lesson  from Chris and Deke at the fish cleaning station.

Trimming the meat from the other "stuff" ...

...for tasty meals of conch salad, cracked conch, conch fritters, conch chowder...I'm going to be busy!

 After a little sanding and cutting with the dremmel tool, and voila!

We have our very own conch horn to celebrate the setting of the sun in the Abacos.
