Valentine's Day Celebrations

For Valentine's Day, we had an unexpectedly wonderful day. We started off playing volleyball (of course!) and after a few hours play, we were asked by some fellow cruisers to join them on their go fast boat for an afternoon at a secluded beach south of the harbour. So, after tiring ourselves out in volleyball, we headed home, made up a few shareable snacks and were soon picked up for our afternoon excursion.
Us, along with two other couples, headed South out thru the cut and around the this beautiful secluded beach in shallow waters. We set out our picnic and lounged around in the sun while we snacked on everyone's goodies. It was wonderful! With the sun bright overhead, we had a great time laughing and getting to know each other a bit better.


After lunch, we all waded out to cool off in the surf. Once we had sufficiently cooled down, we packed up, jumped back in the boat and went out in search of a reef for spear fishing. Unfortunately, the water was a bit choppier than we had all anticipated, so while we found a good reef, the visibility was poor and it was a bit hard to snorkel. Myself and another of the ladies opted to sit on the boat since the conditions weren't great. Everyone else donned flippers and masks and, grabbing their spear guns, jumped overboard. After about a half hour, everyone headed back to the boat empty handed. Conditions were just too poor.


Everyone loaded back up and we headed back home. The day was very enjoyable and we came home and still had a delicious dinner. It was one of the best Valentines' Days I can remember.
