Every person has checklists. We love to be able to check things off checklists. Which, of course, everyone knows...means that you have accomplished that task.
Here was our guest's checklist for this past week:
1) ride on a sailboat without falling in.....check!
2) see things that glow in the dark.....check! (phosphorescent bay and lightening bugs)
3) skinny dip....check!
4) good food...lobster at almost every meal.....check!
5) snorkel in one of the most beautiful spots I've ever seen....check!
6) dolphins.....check!
7) a unicorn.......ok, I do have some wild and crazy friends, and we did our best on this one but all we could pull out of our hat on the last morning, looking at the last page of the last magazine they brought me...was a picture of a unicorn on a tattoo, so.....check check!!!!!
I last wrote of the ferry ride back to Blew Bayou, which was on Saturday night. Sunday morning, we awake to a completely refreshed lisa and the plan was to sail to West End. It was a bit windy and being the smart cap’n that he is….he put our butts in a cab while he brought the boat around the island! Just in case. Again, smart cap’n! While we’re riding, Katie says, “Ya’ll lemme talk so I can be busy…cuz I feel a leetle queasy. Aaaaaah, the irony. She rides the ferry with a steel-like stomach but might not make it in the cab!! Needless to say, her talking did the trick. For those of you who know her, ‘talking’ is the cure for all!!! Breakfast first…..then a little shopping and a walk thru the town. And guess what we found? YARD SALE! Who’d have thunk it? Seriously…some women were having a yard sale and we were right up all in the middle of it –island style!!
Next stop is West Bay. We dinghed to the beaches because this is one of the spots we were asked to leave from before in the big boat. Can you imagine that?
Lots of sun, lots of beach time and we ran into our LSU newlywed friends there. They were going to the same refreshment stand, Tranquil Seas, that we were going to, so the cap’n asked them if they’d like to ride with us. The funny thing? They’re from New Orleans but have lived in Seattle for the past two yrs! So, the PNW ho’s had a lot to talk about with them. We hung out at the bar for awhile and then had dinner down the beach at the Blue Bahia. PULLED PORK PLATTER!! Can you believe we were eating barbeque on the island? But everyone needed some real home food and it totally hit the spot.
Monday morning, we cruised to Punta Gorda and then anchored for the night at Turquois Bay.
Tuesday morning, cap’n left out early headed for the most eastern point, Pigeon Cay. This was also the place I called a screensaver day and it didn’t disappoint this day either. Absolutely gorgeous. Here, we snorkeled and collected a few shells before our cap’n made us a grilled sausage sandwich lunch! Heading back for the marina because the ho’s had to catch their flight out this morning, we stopped at Hole in the Wall bar for some comedy. Back in time for one last dinner of lobster and shrimp and a recap of our days together. We had a blast and let’s just say that the cap’n had quite the experience with a boatload of estrogen….a brand new experience for him!!
I have so many pics that it’s hard to choose a few for blob but here goes. Most should be self-explanatory….HA!!
