day three

        

             AWESOME FUCKING DAY! Here's the deal people, in order to have an awesome vacation a couple of thing are key. First and for most you need to deserve it. Second you need the right people to go, family and tight friends are key. Finally the destination is critical. Work your ass off with little or no recognition, get blamed for everything negative and get credit for nothing that may be positive. Only people worthy in you circle and OMG the place!

            
            We got up this morning had our coffee, packed lunches, beer and the car. We had our beaching area set up by ten o'clock am. We were there before Steve (the bartender). Floated around for a bit, laid in the sun, snorkeled, that was the whole day. The tide was low and the water was for the most part flat, this made for a great day of snorkeling, animals in abundance with great visibility. Pelicans diving to feed all around us. Large fish were coming in to feed which kinda sketched me. Around 1230 we sat in some shade under the trees and had lunch. Tuna salad sandwiches with chips and beer. We hiked, swam and layed in the sun some more..

               So many things have different meanings here, Caribbean TV is snorkeling, happy hour is all day and time doesn't matter.

                With beauty comes ugly. A local swam out past where we were snorkeling, he was out for a while. We had gone to shore and were packing up camp, when he worked his way to shore. He had his catch, a lobster and a sea turtle. The lobster I didn't care about , but that beautiful turtle was more than I needed to see. My sister went to them and asked "how much to put the turtle back?" The local said that he didn't know, it was a lot of meat. Where I am proud of my sisters intentions, probably not the place to tree hug. The animal was killed there. The sunset was the same tonight, just not as care free.

              We returned home, unpacked the car, showered and had dinner (dry rubbed ribs, acorn squash, cole slaw and a mango avocado salad). Its ten o'clock and I need to go to bed now, sailing to snorkel spots in the morning.
