It's hard to believe we've been here almost a week. How can time go by so quickly when the days are spent doing "nothing?" The crew has been out exploring the offshore areas at a number of different beaches every day. They've seen hundreds of parrot fish, lots of tang, a number of octopus, sargeant majors, barracuda, damsel fish, large turtles, two eagle rays, angel fish, lane snappers, a grouper or two, butterfly fish, needle fish, drum fish, sea urchins, jellyfish, and lots more. As always, the coral is beautiful with its many shapes and colors. Each day has been perfect: sunny, warm, bright blue skies, trade winds rustling the palms. The sand on most beaches is like powder.
Before heading out to the beaches, Donna, David, and Joan go for a long walk getting in their requisite steps. Occasionally they are joined by others, but some of us are a bit lazy first thing in the morning.
Here's a picture of David after a hard day at the beach. And hopefully the guys in the pool this afternoon. The top picture is Frank cooking up a bunch of plantains which are big bananas, which taste more like sweet potatoes than bananas.
