Swimming on Saturday, 1,000 Steps and Bachelors Beach

This morning we got up and got started a little earlier than usual, mostly because someone said “breakfast” and since I LOVE breakfast, I jumped outta bed like my ass was on fire to get us going! That was met with a less than enthusiastic response, but we got going anyway.

A short time later found us at Levannzo for coffee and some breakY. They were out of decaf coffee (odd thing that) so I had a regular and Crys & Rich had americanos. Then she went for fresh fruit and the worlds freshest croissant while I had a little omelette on “brown” bread. They don’t do “white or wheat” here. Bread is listed as white or brown.

Then we trucked to the dive shop, loaded up, visited for a few minutes and got started. We chose to start with the site, 1,000 steps. It’s a bit of a euphemism being that there are only somewhere between 67 and 72 steps from the roadway down to the beach. Still quite a few when wearing a wet suit, BCD,  tank, regulators, between 14 & 16 pounds of lead and various other paraphernalia. We made it though and the diving was beautiful. Rich went out in his snorkel gear, we’d picked todays beaches based on their snorkel-ability. A good time was had by all. The hike back up to the top was a bit of a marathon, but we made it, life is good.

Then it was on to Bachelors Beach for dive #2. We’ve been doing 2 a day, except for the day we did the night dive. More steps. Who knew? :D Rich went into his snorkel gear and we went out on the reef. Crystal is practicing with her camera and getting better at it all the time. The snap above is one of mine, they’re not as good but it’s hard to take selfies underwater. :D We did see a golden moray eel and I almost got a pic of it, I’ll put it in. He/she is down in that coral and you can see it if you really expand the pic. 

Then we went back to the dive shop and rinsed all our gear out for the last time. Iv and Dewi gave us a hug, we got our dive logs stamped for the dives we did with the AB Dive crew and came back to our abode to hang things up so they’d dry for packing up. 

It's chill here at the Caribbean Chillout. :D Late afternoon we had a nice cheese/beer/chocolate snack then went off to dinner at Captain Don’s. I had a great meal and Crys & Rich did too. 

That was the last diving day. We fly out on Monday and we return the car Sunday afternoon, so we’ll go and explore the island a bit more on Sunday. I’m sitting out by the pool, typing in memories while those two sleepy heads enjoy a little more sleep. It’s nice and warm and breezy here, Bono the kitty is keeping me company and I have coffee. Speaking of which, I need more, and I have to poop.
