Lynn ... said...: You know, I don't think I've ever seen a barracuda until this picture! I've heard of them all my life, but I think this is the first one I remember seeing! I'm glad you posted these! I've seen something new now!; January 22, 2009 at 2:24 PM
Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchen said...: Lynn, they are fun to catch. They had to hold on to me or the barracuda would have pulled me out of the boat the first time I caught one.

About me and my memoir of Abaco

Welcome. My name is Sam Hoffer. I am in the process of writing a lively memoir, Living on Island Time, Retirement in Abaco Spiced with Food, Friends and Rum. The book is a travel adventure filled with zany characters, funny stories, jokes, and all of the wonderful friends we made. It includes building a home, boating and fishing tales, gardening, entertaining, food and recipes, as well as all of the trouble we managed to get into. Life isn't always perfect in paradise.

My husband Meakin and I followed a dream and retired to Abaco, in the out islands of the northern Bahamas, and lived there year-around for ten years on a tiny private cay (cays are smaller than islands) called Lubbers Quarters. Our home was Lazy Days and we also had a vacation rental Sandy Bottoms. Also I wrote a food column for The Abaconian newspaper, From the Kitchen of Lazy Days, while we lived there. It was a very special time in our lives and one we won't forget. I currently write a food column for the Cherokee Scout newspaper in the mountains of western North Carolina From My Carolina Kitchen.
