The morning came, we get up early and walk around to get some red stripes for the boat ride... would you believe at 9am... we could not find a stripe for the life of us. Grocery store- nope; bar- not open... then we made it to mmm... not sure the name of the beach... but there was a lil shack type of beer place. The guy was working so I walk up "Its not too early for a stripe is it?"... "Never too early!" thats the response I was looking for- so we saddled up and waited there for our captain.

The captain's name was Bernard and he was right on time with a big ol smile! The boats name was MR NICE GUY. and if youve ever seen "Half Baked" you know... thats the guy we want to ride with!

I knew it was going to be a magical day...
