A night snorkel on the Wreck of the RMS Rhone, Salt Island, BVI
It often seems on charter that the days get busier and busier as we try and fit in more things to do! Today was no exception. Simeon took Carl down on his Resort Dive, and he did very well... This was at Great Thatch this morning...
Bazza was a star and took all his guests almost from 50 to 74 up the hill to see the old barracks! Even though with new knee replacements!
They took their time though and were glad they had done it, except for the assorted cuts and cactus prickles they picked up...
They arrived back at the boat just as a gigantic squall hit...for ten minutes,
And then somehow he convinced them to go for another trip down the island to see the old bar, house, well etc that is back in the jungle....
Lunch came after that, and a snorkel, where they saw turtle! We decided to make a bee line up to Roadtown from there to get some provisions. Boy was it still and HOT in Inner Harbour. We re provisioned, lost the garbage, scored some more ice, and the guests took there courtesy shopping hour in Roadtown before we had margaritas and nacho's while sailing across to Salt Island...
Little Miss Karen missed being first in line at the buffet table at lunch, but was right back to her allotted place at the front of the line for dinner!
I had made some ice cream, and the plan tonight was to go for a night snorkel. I thought we should have dessert before the snorkel, as who would want ice cream after being in the water at night? Apparently my guests had no problem with it! Pappy, ate ice cream before during and after....He had no problem!
So we all took off like little ducks in a row...Simeon at the beginning of the snorkelers and me under water with my big lights. I think the evening snorkel almost did not happen as we had torrential rain pouring for twenty minutes about the time we were going to get in. It was much warmer in the water!
I took assorted pictures of fish sleeping...I am sure the fish were not impressed. Surprisingly, no gray snapper chomping at the fish tonight...
We also saw hundreds upon hundreds of different sized squid. These three were unique though, they hung around together...
This Tarpon kept on coming up into my lights and scaring me half to death! Unfortunately no turtles, octopus or lobster tonight, but a good time was had by all! They had lots of exercise today with all these snorkels and walks, so I expect them to stay in bed until, oh, 545 tomorrow morning!
