R & R

I realize it's Wednesday, but it was an official day of rest. There is a small stretch of sand just a block away, so we settled in for a few hours. It was just us and a couple of Barbadians. I felt pretty spoiled. I spend the entire time in the water, and Kim did a bit of reading. The water is differing shades of turquoise and at least 80 degrees at the surface. There were several needlenose fish hanging around the shallow area with us, making Kim extremely nervous when they started feeding on some smaller, less fortunate fish. I swam out several hundred yards to investigate with my mask. There wasn't much out there but a few fish, a couple sting rays, some sea grass, and lots of broken coral. We're on the boundary of the leeward and windward sides of the island, so I suspect it may get a little too churned up here for a large number of fish to dwell. There's just nothing to hide in or around.

We walked back to the apartment around noon and made PBJ's, with the homemade guava jam that Judy sent us off with. Yum. We caught up on some reading and napping most of the afternoon.

I think we've agreed to try a little surfing tomorrow, but that may or may not happen. It's vacation.Lue lisää
