It's just after 7 am and I'm on our deck at LesBalcons overlooking the oyster Pond harbor. Have aboput a half hour before I need to start making coffee for TheRingLady.
Lots to cover so will break into parts each morning.

Weather has been mixed and seas rough so there was some conceern about making the cruise. MMonday nite had several hard rains which further raised concern. But, by arund 7 am Tue morning the clouds began to break and the sun was peeking through. Called Cptn Paul and he felt it was a go.

Could see the crew assembling on the dock <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> around 8:30 even tho show-up time had been set for 9 am. Many were staying in Simpson bay area and had to allow for traffic which did take about 45 min to make it over.

Headed over about 8:45 and also meet two additional coouples that had signed on. I guess the P&P cruuise schedule is booking up fastso with our 2 boats scheduled we were the ones with room for more. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

Peggy came along around 9 and started giving us the rundown for the day and getting snorkling gear sorted out. Peggy is quite the lively gal. There was also another lovely young gal that captioned the other boat add I'll try to geet her name in tomorrow's Part 2.

We set off thru the marina waving to the OBBR folks sitting out on their balconies and head out into the heavier swells to the theme from Gilligan's island. At what Peggy referred to as the "naked bouy", wekl, you know. Some of the braver souls aloong with Peggy rode front with lots of YAHOOS coming from Peggy as we crested and dove down the larger waves. She is a hoot.

Per request from Pal6363 our first destination was Tintamarre where we did a quick cruise along the beach and then around the back side for photo's. Realkly senic with large colored rock cliffs. Seas on the way were rough but not bad. Not a single seasick the entire trip.

From there we headed back to do a cruise of he Club O beach and then headed oveer to Green Kay for a swim and some beach time. From there we cruised past Pinel and then over to Petite caye beach, near where we spotted 3 dolphins feeding fairly close to shore, so we backed off and watched for awhile.

Frin tgere ut was to Ceroke Rock where we took more time for snorkling by everyone. Lots of smaller fish and saw several eagle rays. Then off to Happy Bay where we were to get some quality beach tine and lunch. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />
