We didn't get up so early this morning. I think the surfing last night did us in pretty good. I woke up with a sore rib and the others had their own share of bruises. A small price to pay right. After breakfast Nate Richins and I headed into Soppers Hole to get some shopping done. I know that I had better come back with some pretty good stuff for the girls after having been gone a week. I dare not show up empty handed. I would have to walk the plank. I found some good gifts...(for once not junky ones that the lady sells on the beach...actually here they come around in small boats to your sailboat and try to hock their wares that way) So I am excited. I decided to go the route of just a nice gift for each girls instead of a lot of smaller gifts that were less expensive and would end up being thrown away when we cleaned house the next month. I will be interested to see if my idea works.
After shopping put up the sails and were off to Norman Island or "Pirates Cove". A beautiful cove that is known as a rest stop for pirates...ARRGGHHH! The wind on the way to the cove was unreal, we were flying with both sails full mast. I think we hit 8 knots at some points, which for a boat our size is pretty fast. It was fun.
Once we arrived we immediately headed over to a floating pirate ship for lunch. It was really fun, complete with a canon that they shoot off. After lunch Brian, Nate Bray and myself hopped in and snorkled for a good hour and a half to 2 hours. We didn't need scuba tanks at all as their were tons of fish everywhere and it was only about 6 ft where the coral reefs were. I was exhausted when we came back, but Nate Bray and I decided to head to shore (nothing their except for beach and one small restaurant) and just hung out while everyone else napped. It was good catch up time for us, but now I am exhausted! It is so fun to be with Nate as we don't get to spend that much time together living in different states. But we sure make up for it when we get together. We have pretty much had a great time from sun up til sundown! My gut hurts from laughing so hard and then you throw in Nate Richins and Brian and it just adds to it.
We are eating at Pirates restaurant tonight and then I am going to hit the sack after dinner. Even if it is 8'oclock!~ I can't wait to see my girls! Thanks girls for the notes I loved reading them and they made me want to come home even more. See you in two days!
