An Exuma Birthday
12 July 2007
Diane
Today was my birthday, and no, I am not clarify for those that don't know which one it is, LOL. I must admit, another year is gladly accepted for the opportunity to have this adventure. The day has been awesome. Mimosas with breakfast, hiking the volcanic trail to the top of Boo Boo hill, exploring in the dinghy, snorkeling several reefs and then back to the Bella Laguna for some reading before dinner. Wil shared a great book he'd read with me "Skinny Dip" which I am totally caught up in; it's about a woman on a cruise ship who's husband throws her over board, she survived, the characters and events are both funny and riveting. Three huge yellow tail jacks joined us upon our arrival here and haven't left since. I nick named them Marty, Steve and Willy...... Marty and Steve both avid fishing buddies of mine and Willy for Wil who is eagerly looking forward to trying out the angler sport after we leave the park. Deciding to take a dip before dinner, ready to jump from the swim platform, up came, in addition to our three jacks, a four foot nurse shark. Wil requested Diane do that "Captainly" thing again, requesting I get in the water with the underwater camera and snap a few shots of all four of them. That didn't happen, we waited awhile before we both splashed for a final dip of the day.
Dinner was the perfect ending to a great day. Maybe tomorrow we'll get internet so we can update our blogs. WHAT A DAY, if I am dreaming, don't wake me up!
