(Picture of houses to the side of Cinnamon Bay, which might be Peter Bay.)
Since Trinette is with us, we had to decide where to go and with so many choices of places to go, we gave her the cruising guide to look at and help decide.
We moved over to Cinnamon Bay to see the other beach and be closer to the little store over there so the girls would have ice for their drinks. Looks like Trinette has found a new cocktail. It is called a Painkiller. The secret ingredient is fresh ground nutmeg. I had never seen a fresh nut of meg. It smells so much different than the crap that is ground up in the bottle. I did not have one as I have not been able to have any alcohol due to the meds I am taking. I guess I could have had a virgin one, but some drinks are just not worth it without the alcohol. Maybe next time. I am sure there will be many more Painkillers mixed on this boat. It sure would be nice if Jane Massie would get her butt back to this part of the world and start serving some!
Painkiller Recipe:
The Painkiller® is a blend of Pusser's Rum with 4 parts pineapple juice, 1 part cream of coconut and 1 part orange juice served over the rocks with a generous amount of fresh nutmeg on top.
This is the day that Trinette swam to shore to see about taking a wind surfing lesson. It was like $300 for the class. What is the deal? Trying to charge so much cuz they think everyone is rich? Whatever. They don’t deserve our money and they did not get it.
In the pictures above it is hard to tell which is the sea turtle and which is Trinette, until she gets close up, there is no resemblance at all. LOL There are quite a few sea turtle around. I wish I could go snorkeling and get a picture under water, but my sore knees protest about being used as aquatic fin joints or upright human ones. Bummer. Maybe they will heal up in a few weeks if I can stop tweaking them going up and down stairs and squatting (all those things they tell you not to do, but how can you avoid it and live on planet Earth?).
