Patrick and Gilles are two French Canadians we met in Allens Cay. Patrick is also on a one year sailing trip with his wife and two children. Gilles is retired and has made numerous trips down from Quebec to The Bahamas and he is an experienced lobster hunter.

Fortunately, they took me under their wings and showed me how to find and catch the plentiful Bahamian lobsters. They hide in rocky areas, usually within little cutouts or holes in the rocks, ten or twenty feet deep. Or, even much deeper but that is about the limit of what you can dive down to in snorkel gear.
