The highlight of the day was when we went snorkeling from the boat.  There are rocks and coral lining the shoreline and many different kinds of fish inhabit the area.  There were large sea fans and we saw a bottlenose fish, which was the first for this sailing season.  The best part of the snorkel was that we saw a turtle swim right in front of us.  I love watching the turtles, as you can almost see the gears in their minds working.  They are slow, nervous animals.  Often they pop their head above water to breathe, see our boat, get a panicked look in their eyes, and dive again.  This turtle simply flapped its legs and glided through the sea ahead of us.  While keeping our distance, we did follow it for a short time before exploring a different part of the underwater sea world.  On our way back to the boat Steve said that he saw a spotted stingray.  Unfortunately, I didn’t see it.

After returning from our snorkeling adventure, we took the dinghy along the coast to one of our favorite Caribbean beach bars called the Shipwreck Beach Bar.  If you take on look at the building, you’ll agree that it was aptly named.  We both ordered Funky Monkey drinks, which are frozen and contain chocolate, among other things.  They are so good. 

Wild monkeys frequent the restaurant and are always fun to see.
