A beautiful morning! Ian and I are getting pretty good at relaxing on the patio, me with my tea. But the sea was calling to Ian so he went off for a snorkel at Smith's Reef. When he returned he said the current was quite strong and he felt like he was being pushed away from the shore. Thus, for his safety, he ended the tour. Meanwhile in our little enclave of peace and beauty, I sat and finished reading "The Cat's Table" by Michael Ondaatje. Although he created several interesting characters, the plot was slow to develop and after the waiting the ending was less than satisfying. Some of the events were a trifle unbelievable.
In the afternoon Ian and I walked to Coral Gardens in hopes that the current would not be as strong there. We saw a large school of horse-eyed jacks, some barracuda and a good sized Green Turtle. However, it was like we were on a conveyer belt with the current deciding where we should go. Unfortunately we were not drifting where we wanted to be. At least it was not further out to sea. We swam to shore and got out quite a ways from where we had started.
Luckily for us there was a nice beach bar. So we had drinks at
Somewhere Cafe. I enjoyed a delicious Pina Colada, the first of my trip.
