Beach day! (Just for you Debbie!) Hit Brewer's Bay around 10 a.m. There were only two other people on the beach. Eventually a few more join the ‘crowd’ bringing the number on the beach to eight—that includes me and Gary. The water was clear, warm and refreshing. Some small bait fish close to shore and one snorkeler came ashore saying he'd spotted turtles close to the western rocky shore.
Gary walked the entire beach, while I relaxed with a good book. No showers this morning, nice cooling breezes coming over the mountains, and enough shade from the palms and sea grapes to keep us from turning red. My Blue Lizard bottle kept turning blue reminding me to lather up. Fortunately I did as later in the evening my legs showed more sun than I expected.
Eventually we wandered over to Nicole's for a cold drink and hopefully a cheeseburger in paradise. Nicholas was watching his favorite sports program, and served up cold drinks with a smile. Unfortunately, Gina "had someplace to go," so no food today...and it even wasn't a Monday, the typical day of no food. Once we finished our Coronas….two for Gary since he kept knocking his first over….I convinced Gary to travel over the mountain to Cane Garden Bay for a cheeseburger and lime daiquiri (yum) at Stanley's.
A few boats were in at CGB and a few soul's limin' in the water, but definitely no cruise boats in port. Just the way Cane Garden Bay should be. After finishing a great burger, ordered a second frozen lime concoction, but ‘no current,’ which means no blender. I tell the waitress to surprise me with some thing cold and rum based, she brings back a Lime-rita. Mmmmm, but very powerful. Siesta time (rum induced), so we head back to Casa Allamanda for relaxing around the pool.
Later, we freshen up and head over to Island Surf & Sail for Scott and Debs' Thursday Ladies Night for some windsurfing action. Ladies were inshore mastering their boards, while the guys ran races offshore. The wind coming off of the water is so cool that I know next time I’ll be packing a pair of long pants and a light jacket. Once the racers are back in, Debs fires up the grill for hot dogs. The beer and wine are flowing. A nice night for all.
Gary and I make a light dinner, read a bit, then find ourselves falling asleep on the couch. Early to bed, early to rise! Plus we have a radio show to produce tomorrow. A few rain showers during the night, cool breezes, and solitude!
