Evenings in the islands are hard to beat too:

Bonefish lodges tend to be god-awful places: magnets for self-
important type-A jerks.
The real trick is to find a room to rent, conch bars to eat at
and independent guides work with (at least until you're ready
to go out on your own).

Re Bonefishing *... the actual fishing ... i.e. sight casting to big,
exciting prey ... appeals to me but whenever I see pictures of the
environment it doesn't turn me on at all, I'm just not a 'lottsa sun and
sand' kinda guy, I actually like to avoid both *... give me gray skies and
cool mountains over sunburn and warm beaches, anytime

Uh, move to Tacoma. You'll feel right at home.

Beware of the Somalia pirates. They've already hit the Seychelles once.

I haven't paid much attention to ROFF since my ISP dropped it. It
seems to have been largely depopulated, and what's left is mostly
pointless political drivel between rdean and a few others.

Anyway, be that as it may, a while ago I went to the Bahamas with
Willi (remember Willi?) and we had a great DIY bonefishing trip.
Having recaught the bonefish bug I've booked a trip to the Seychelles
for next March. The place is ultra fancy (http://
http://www.angleradventures.com/Seyc...Seychelles.htm) -- much fancier
than I'm used to -- but the fishing is supposed to be incredible.

It looks like the ROFF clave tradition is carrying on with Penns. I
never made it to that one. I wish all you Penns clavers tight lines.
