did make reservations at Highbourne Cay Marina to join in on the bonfire for a night. It was their two young granddaughters’ first trip to The Bahamas and the family was clearly excited about sharing these experiences and making new memories together. “Wendy and I had a great week with some of our kids and grandkids aboard Fins Up. We did lots of snorkeling, hunting for sand dollars on the sandbars, and of course eating!” Chris reports. He realized another part of their trip plans by trolling off Highbourne and catching some mahi together—which was promptly grilled up that evening in the cockpit. They also note Captain Todd has been great and is quickly becoming part of the family. After the Exumas trip, Fins Up made its way back to North Carolina with the intent of doing a lot of fishing out of Wilmington in May, leading up to participating in the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in June. That’s an action-packed itinerary for just three months’ time, and the 72 Convertible is the right rig to make it all happen. Deeper into the summer, their plans are less concrete, but the Wordens will be focused on getting as much fishing and cruising in as possible before their weekend attendance will be required again at the Dolphins’ NFL games in the Fall—Fins Up after all! 17 2024 SEASON
