Sea and Sun

March 5, Tuesday
We awoke to blue skies and a warm sun.  Off to a heavenly breakfast and coffee on the deck.  We added some sun sreen and went snorkeling.  We have lots of little cobalt blue and yellow sunfish right under us along with black ones and little zebra looking ones.  They are so pretty among the coral- right under our hut.  

Taken from a photo - our bungalow is on the far right with the blue ink mark.  You can see the swimmng pool on the left.

The one with the ink mark - it really did look just like this.  Where the water changes color is where it gets very shallow and that is the coral ring.

Standing at our front door ready to go kayaking and paddle boarding.

We made our way to the coral ring - the lighter color water in the back of Dale.  The water is so clear you can see everything.  We got close to the waves breaking and Dale only fell once - pretty good for a beginner.  A quick dip in the pool, lunch on the deck and then an afternoon to do nothing.

Marty in the sea right off our deck.  The waves are breaking on the reef in the far background.

Something is in bloom - lots of bees buzzing around - they may be the beginning of some kind of coconut.

This is why one DOES NOT wear socks with sandals!!!
The afternoon was spent soaking up the sun, jumping into the sea to cool off and repeat.  Dinner was in Cook's Bay where we enjoyed prawns and Tropical Pizza.  The stars were beautiful and we finally found someone that could point out the Southern Cross (unbelievable but several we asked did not know and it is as big a thing as our big dipper), and, of course, we could see Orion's 3 star belt.  Another glorious day.
