Fishin’ and Mission, May 4-10, 2008, Andros Island, the Bahamas

The kind and caring people of the Bahamas are quite proud of their island’s natural resources. The beaches, water, and fishing are some of the best in the Caribbean and the lack of tourist activity on Andros Island gives you an unique opportuntiy to explore realtively untouched flats. When the tides aren’t moving, we get moving on the island providing emergency home repairs for residents who are not in a position to maintain their homes. Construction experience is not required.

Program
The Fishin’ and Mission program is designed for fishermen who also enjoy helping others. Work days are followed by fishing days. A fishing day is followed by a work day. A typical week may look like this:
Sunday – Travel day to Andros Island
Monday – Work on housing project
Tuesday – Bonefishing with a fellow fisherman and experienced Andros guide
Wednesday - Work on housing project
Thursday - Bonefishing with a fellow fisherman and experienced Andros guide
Friday – finish work project in the morning, wade fishing on our own in the afternoon
Saturday – wade fish in the morning, if time permits, prior to going to the airport for the trip home
