Pictures 4

Like I mentioned earlier, Raynel taught me the basics of sailing. We had access to both little motor boats and to little sailboats. And here is where I tried to kill us. After our first successful sailing outing, I felt like a pro. I knew what the bow was, the stern, port, starboard, and I was getting the hang of triming the sail. So the next day we went out again and when Raynel turned the boat over to me I was determined to get the most speed I could. It was fairly windy and we were really moving along when the next thing I knew we were in the water. I succeeded in tiping a Hobie catamaran, one of the most stable types of sailing ships. Raynel was mortified. The resort people had to come out and help us get it back up. Rather embarrasing.


Motoring around the bay:


This impressive vessel was moored in the bay for about a day. We took the motor boat out to get a picture of it. It was beautiful.

I did get to scuba dive a little bit and I taught Raynel some of the basics. But there was a large wave of jelly fish that came in towards the end of the week and after seeing probably 10-12 in just a few minutes, I decided to get out of the water. Raynel had me pose with Mike the iguana (he's on the far left sunning on the rock). I guess he lives at the Resort.

One evening, the waterfront staff at the resort did a sunset sail. We signed up and got to go out on one of their larger ships with about 20 other guests for a sail around the nearby islands for about an hour. It was beautiful.
