I have not written on my blog for a couple days! We have been so busy here in paradise, it is hard to keep up!
We had a great walk/run/bike fundraiser for cancer turnout here on our tiny island. $1062.00 US dollars was raised to provide financial aid to cancer patients in need here. After finishing the event we had breakfast at Southern Cross Club with several of our friends. What a feast!
This was boat launch day for our deep sea fishing boat. We had high hopes! The motor worked great before launch and started right up once in the ocean. Richard headed out and it died! There was no starting it! He was drifting with the waves into sand and rock with the anchor not holding! Bruce drove by and stopped. Suddenly Miguel showed up too! They jumped right in to help. Literally! Richard and Bruce had to pull the boat back and get it back on the trailer. What a sight! We are so grateful to Bruce and Miguel. So it was back to work on the boat motor. Richard now agrees with me that we should have just bought a new motor instead of working on this one. Hindsight is 20/20!
Saturday evening we were invited to friends for dinner. Boy! What a great meal we had and so much fun visiting. The time just flew!
Sunday was so beautiful here on the island again. Every day has been sunny and beautiful here since we arrived! We tried a second launch of the boat on this morning. Finally success!
Early afternoon we went snorkeling. I think it was one of my all time favorite! The water was the clearest ever and super calm. It was the most relaxing snorkel ever! I am so lucky to be able to be here and do this. All of us agreed, it could not have been more perfect! Sunday evening we went to another friends house for dinner. There was eight of us and we really enjoyed a beautiful evening. We have made so many nice, fun friends on this island.
This morning Richard and Tom took the boat out to do some fishing. Finally! Getting through the cut was smooth but the seas were rough today. They did not get a fish. We were just happy the boat performed well. I am ready for some fresh fish, so he better get cracking!
I ordered supplies from Cost u Less and it arrived by plane this afternoon. It was just like Christmas!
Susan and I did a joint order in an effort to save money! Aren't we getting clever!
It is now time for ice cream and I need to beat Richard in a game of cards. This has sure been a great day!
