a good day with guests and the fishlife..

I have the silly song by Toby Keith going through my head "What happens down in Mexico, staysssss in Mexicccoooo" and i cannot get it out! I even tried to drown it out with Jimmy Buffett tonight, which is usually a sure cure but no such luck! Truly, I am being quite good!
Bazza wanted a special note pinned up on the blog as well as Facebook for Brent. Quite unusual for Bazza to ask me for things on the blog! He even had me come take a picture...
Note to Brent: You are supposed to be back Wednesday night, and Bazza wants you to know that if you are NOT here, "Sexy Rexy" will be going for a long walk off a short table with some kind of noose around his neck! You have been warned!!

Some of our guests went for a walk on Sandy Spit this morning, and they were there awhile, which impressed me, as after all, it is not that big an island and it is hot and sandy! The rest of us watched from the boat... We went around to the other side of there to the dive site the "playground" for a snorkel, and me with my camera gear... It was nice...Really nice...

Although I have to remember to stop being so lazy, I have been using the 18-70 mm lens that came with the Nikon camera, as I don't have to think then, "do I want wide angle, or close up or what" sounds great, but it really is a lousy lens compared to my other ones and my pictures definitely show it. I should have gotten some really wonderful pictures with all the life down there but they ended up being so so...
School of Little Horse Eyed jacks...

Mike snorkeling...

Some really wonderful tarpon, bait fish and rock pictures...





Or at least would have been with a better lens!

My snorkelers...

A nice little Barracuda

I was so busy looking up I barely noticed what was in front of my nose, but here is an angelfish..

We went for a quasi sail (read controlled drift...) over to Cane Garden Bay for some leisure time then. SOMEHOW the lounge became untied (the boys said they did not do it, but I am not sure about that!) and Simeon went to the rescue...

Of course the girls have been thinking up emergencies for Simeon all week so maybe they did it themselves...although they do say it is like a dog chasing a car, they won't know what to do with it if they ever caught it!!!

We did another controlled drift down to great Thatch, where we had 6 pitchers of Banana Bailey Coladas, and killed 4 bottles of Liquor! Apparently they tasted ok...I had story hour mostly!

I thought Karen looked very alluring here, although it is possible she was just passed out!

Some, like Sharon, spent most of the day napping and then almost made the cardinal mistake of sleeping on the beer locker! We promptly reminded her of rule # 1!

Eye Candy, went for a shower, which brought all kinds of admiration, and then eye candy, who I think knows exactly what he is doing most of the time, stands up in his hatch to put on a shirt etc!!!! All our crew members have a role to fill....

I made the best bruschetta bread with my pasta tonight that i have made for a long time! Not sure what I did different, but it was great. Notice the palm tree the guests have made into a center piece...

Karen is always first into the buffet line (smart girl in my books!) and as you can tell she even gets dressed up with hats and all for dinner!

We are down at Great Thatch tonight, watching the squid etc in the water, all by ourselves happily... It has been a good day, but time for me to call it a night.
