Day Three
We got up at 8:50 (lost power during the night,
so our alarm never went off). We got up, I shaved my head, and we went off to
breakfast. A quick meal and then off to the water sports shack.
We waded back into the ocean and into
a boat to go snorkeling out on the reef. Great snorkeling. We saw a sea turtle
(a German woman on the boat pointed it out) and lots of other fish. Even saw an
eel-like fish. We held a baby star fish and a sea urchin. Our guide retrieved
them from the seabed for us. On the way back, we passed a capsized hobie cat
& retrieved the woman who was sitting on a pontoon with her boyfriend. The
crew helped right the cat and one of the crew sailed it back in with the
boyfriend. The girlfriend came aboard our boat, none too pleased.
Three people on the boat had had open
heart surgery, members of the zipper
club. One old man, one youngish-man, and the
young German woman.
I'll close this
entry out noting that I'm enjoying a Red Stripe on our first floor huge veranda
overlooking the beach (about 2 meters away) while Diane lounges in the ocean.
I'll join her soon!
