Tuesday, March 19, 2024 We all slept like babies. It was awesome. The air conditioning did a great job and the Norman Cay Marina was super still and quiet once the party boat went to bed. Nathan, Dave and I got up roughly at 7. We went out to the cockpit and opened up theContinue reading “Rode Hard and Put Away Wet”

Yet Another Crisis Averted!
Monday, March 18, 2024 After the excitement of the first night on the boat, we were all looking forward to a calmer day today. The second half of the night was quite rolly, and no one got a good night sleep. Nathan joined Grant in the cockpit at 6:45 and Dave, Todd and I joinedContinue reading “Yet Another Crisis Averted!”
Captain, You’re Going the Wrong Way!
Sunday, March 17, 2024 Well, that was an adventure. We started the day off Sunday quite slowly. I was the first one up at 6 am, so I made coffee and sat in the living room of our place. Nathan was the second one up, and one by one, everyone woke up and collected inContinue reading “Captain, You’re Going the Wrong Way!”
As the Wind Blows, So Does Our Mind!
I’m not so sure about that, at least not yet, but its as good a start to this adventure as we have for five, supremely sleep deprived individuals. Let me take a step back. Last August, on a random Tuesday, I woke up to find the following text message: “Hey Nathan and Anika, I’m planningContinue reading “As the Wind Blows, So Does Our Mind!”
I Guess We’re Friends Now!
Sadly, all adventures must come to an end, and this is our last full day in Grenada. We got up around 6 am and leisurely ate breakfast. The plan today is to walk towards the airport and Magazine Beach. Because its so close to the airport, its not on any bus route, so to getContinue reading “I Guess We’re Friends Now!”
Could End Up in Venezuela!
Holy smokes, did it rain in the night. We woke up to a puddle on the kitchen floor. Not sure where that came from, but Nathan thinks it came in possibly from the outlet the fridge is plugged into. Always a comforting thought. Since we went to the grocery store yesterday, we had yogurt forContinue reading “Could End Up in Venezuela!”
Do You Have the Sandwiches?
We weren’t starting off on a very good foot. Even before Cat Eye dropped us off at the dive shop, we knew we had forgotten our lunch. We had run out of yogurt for breakfast this morning, so we made eggs, and the added prep and clean up time caused for a bit of aContinue reading “Do You Have the Sandwiches?”
Now that’s a scary eel!
Cat Eye was once again waiting for us when we walked down the drive at the appointed time. His taxi has a green paint job, and he’s accentuated it by wearing a green outfit (shorts and t-shirt) green shoes with green laces and even green glasses. Super sharp. He drove us to the dive shopContinue reading “Now that’s a scary eel!”
Huge Lobsters!
It rained again in the night, and it was a little hard to get up this morning. Our place is super cozy and quiet. So much different from last year where we heard party music all night, every night in Utila. Its very easy to sleep here. The air conditioning is swell and the builtContinue reading “Huge Lobsters!”
Burgers and Sandwishes!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from Grenada. We woke up to skies that threatened to rain, a rain soaked deck, and an invitation to Friendsgiving back in Colorado. I waited until an appropriate time of day in Colorado to send my regards and regrets. Today’s the day. We finally will get on the dive boat withContinue reading “Burgers and Sandwishes!”
