We woke up at the Caves and after breakfast made our way over to the Indians to go for a snorkel. You can tell it is the end of the week, as the guests looked at the water, said it looked cold and it WAS a bit choppy and on we sailed. We sailed for a couple hours up to Salt Island to spend our first day. After barbecuing hamburgers I took the guests on a snorkel. I want to point out that we were anchored up at Man Head Point, and I took 5 guests, including our 84 year old Irma (!!!) to snorkel the entire bay at Salt anchorage, round the point, and snorkel down the RMS RHone and the boat met us down there! It was a good long snorkel and we enjoyed it immensely!

Off we went, enjoying the water...





We watched a sting ray for a bit...

YOu can always tell Chris with his "pink fins" but he was getting pretty good at diving down!

How cute they were!

We saw several schools of squids....

And finally made it to the wreck a long time later!

Seas were getting pretty choppy by that time...

Brent had the wonderful job of cleaning out the fridge today....Lucky him! Not that there was too much left in it!

We sailed over to anchor off Buck Island, another fast quick, sale, and then it was time for cocktail hour and slide show! Cocktail hour we went all out and had pitchers of Painkillers, Bushwackers, and Frozen vodka lemonade...you can see that perhaps there was a chance that thing were going to get a bit messy?

Some did not want to leave the movie room and stayed to the bitter end..

We had a shrimp alfredo for dinner tonight...(the guests loved it, I thought It was akin to wall paper paste....but that was after I had a couple end of week vodkas. We not only had the end of the week, it was the end of year celebration of no more billion back to back charters....

We had a chocolate fudge sail cake for dessert....

I told you Simeon was not taking too many blog worthy pictures...would you want this face on your blog???? We are supposed to look like a happy boat!

I kept on trying to make him smile, even going as far as to try and get him up later (yeah, Kerry, a sure fire way to make people happy in SOME Country I am sure!)

These very arty pictures were taken by Chris, and I "borrowed" them for the blog, he has a good eye for pictures!

White Bay at Jost...

Danny looking way too relaxed at Jost!

and the beach...

This barracuda was about 4 feet long, and apparently about the time they got it up to the back deck it broke the leader. Well, Superman Brent reached down in the water, picked it up and quickly threw it up on the deck, purely by instinct, which made all the guests jump far and away!




We dropped this morning, and have had lots of wind, rain and thunder...Good day to drop!
Twelve years between cruises is too many! It was great the first time and every bit as great this time. Keep up the good work! ANDY AND IRMA, WA
