How is such an escape possible? For those who have visited Abaco before it is simple. Stop, close your eyes (unless of course barreling down a busy highway), take a deep breath, exhale slowly, repeat the following mantra aloud three times while continuing long slow breaths. "Abaco's - Fish - Fight," let your mind take you back to the battle ground. Continue to breathe, whisper the mantra three times. Remember the Abaco sun, let its piercing embrace envelope you completely. Remember Abaco's sea, its cool clarity, let the gentle undulations of the water caress you.
"Abaco's - Fish - Fight," continue to chant silently, remember your casts, the silken thread flying, falling then returning. Allow all distractions to dissolve then disappear. Remember the taut line and bent pole, feel the very spirit of the fighting fish transfer itself into your hands as you reel him in. Reverse the process, still chanting the mantra slowly return to a whisper, then aloud. Remember the eyes of Albula vulpes - the white fox Abaco's toothless warrior the bonefish, as he is gently released to fight another day. Return to your daily routine renewed, invigorated and ready for your next visit to Abaco. The bonefish are waiting‌
