Well, today is registration day for the 23rd annual Pirates' Cove Billfish Tournament. There must be a record number of boats here this year, because the marina is chocked full. All the brand new dock space is full. The energy level is high as all the boats are rigging and getting ready for the fishing which begins tomorrow.
The new tournament building looks really good. It was being filled with all the vendor exhibits today when I visited. With the concrete floor and solid roof it is so much nicer than the large tent and dirt floor of tournaments past. The dinner area is still under a tent, but there are significantly less tent stakes to impale oneself upon after several trips to the Bacardi bar!
Sunday was the day for the Alice Kelly Memorial tournament. Eighty boats fished with a total of 129 fish released, 122 of those being white marlin, 4 blues, and 3 sails.
Stay tuned for updates throughout the week.
