With 2 dinghies out looking for conk, Ray was good to his
word, and I was good to my established pattern.
Just east of Alice Town is a large area known as Bimini Bay, also the Sand
Flats which is about 20% sand and 80% sea grass and about 1 foot at low tide
and 3 to 5 feet deep at high tide.

Need
to go over a few hours before and after high tide so the motor of the dinghy
doesn’t run aground. Don’t ask how I
know this. Anchor the dinghy, jump in
with snorkel gear, and start looking.
Ray said the conch hang out in the sandy area and frequently sit with
the spines of their houses sticking out of the sand. Ray was fairly successful, and I was not. Score at the end of the day was Ray-3 keepers,
bob -1 to small. So after the exciting
day, bob still zero.

One part that was cool was drifting over the bottom with
a slight current. Water was clear, sea
grass sticking up, and mounds of sand formed by some animal scattered about…felt
like a bird flying just above the trees.
