Well me and my Queen actually set an alarm to get up early enough to do our morning ‘stuff’ and still be at the marina on time to pick up our boat for the days cruising. Finally found the ‘right’ marina, only to find the guy we were supposed to meet, hanging over the engine ‘fiddling’ with it. I watched him make multiple attempts to start it (unsuccessfully) when he finally noticed me. He said something to the effect of he gave it to much gasoline (flooded it?) and that he needed a special wrench to work on it…….. could we come back in an hour ? Sure – no worries….. we lit out and stopped at a little place we have been to before and sat down for some breakfast that we had skipped. I had an egg and salmon Croissant….. Angie opted for a conventional egg breakfast. Both were equally delicious~! Headed back out to the marina only to be met by the ‘boat guy’ saying he was going to have to get a mechanic to work on it. Many apologies and sent us on our way……. Dammit Emmit~! Awake, fed, lunch packed, all dressed up and now, suddenly nothing on the schedule. Fortunately not a problem on an island like this~! We stopped by the house for a bit….. I looked up a good snorkeling spot and away we went.
I got in a solid 2 hours of snorkeling, stopping for the occasional cold beer and a cigarette……. got some pictures of my snorkeling for you. Took several videos, but sadly cannot load them on this site 🙁 I hate that I can’t put them up here for you to watch, but the site just don’t have the a$$ for it…… so you’ll have to go to FB to see them if you want to watch them….. Maybe when I get settled on St. Croix – I can look into a better website~~
Came back, took our showers and had a couple of drinks. Decided to go out for dinner and went to a place we been eyeballing for a while. Eddy’s….. nice place. Pool in the middle of the restaurant with a hot tub….. gotta love a Caribbean restaurant~! I had the catch of the day (Barracuda) with a side of sautéed shrimp~! Wonderful~! We shared a piece of the worst tasting cheese cake I’ve had in a while….. but it did the job of finishing off dinner.
I have a 2 tank dive scheduled for tomorrow. Can’t wait to see what that brings and maybe by the time I get back, the boat guy will give me a call saying the boat is fixed.
