today was sunday april 27th, 2014....

I had a long night last night....drink rum way past my limit, had 2 brownies, and after seastar, we went to bourbon beach for a little while...somewhere in that mix, I committed to GerryG123 that I would be ready at 530am for a try at spear fishing....OMG, I dont drink that much, and it is telling me to roll over and sleep...but I am a trooper and get up....Flip has ordered my wife to do something, and she reluctantly gets up and follows me to the lobby to wait...right on cue, GerryG pulls up....as I get situated, he exclaims..wtf, are u eating subs already? its 530...yeah, but its 420 somewhere...lol...if u only knew how bad i felt and how close to not having a passenger you were....lol...anyway...

this is the picture in my whole roll that Flip likes best...


and we are off!!!!

Gerry meets Famous Vincent at Palms..it is a closer boat ride to the fish....we have about 20 minutes to kill while we wait for the boat...GerryG has a float stashed and hits the pool...this was my home for a week, so I walk around the grounds, trying to shake the funk....

first, I am not a very good snorkler....great swimmer, but i cant get the breathing thing right...and then i panic and snatch the mask off..plus, i always leak water and swallow half the sea....

so we get to the spot and we get in...I decide from the start that i was too uncoordinated to shoot, load, retrieve and repeat while trying breathe at the same time...so i jsut followed Gerry around...he is pretty good at this...I shot a few times, he reloaded for me and I shot again..i finally hit one, a glancing blow...decide this was too much for me and i just floated away for a minute..next time i look up, there is a lot of distance between me and gerry....i am not too far from the boat, so i head over...as i sit in the boat, the slight rocking gets me...should ahve stayed in the water, i guess...sanyway...gerry says he had a great day..we have about 10 fish....

GerryG123 was the perfect host..always asking if i was ok, was i having fun, did i need anything, etc...then when he saw i was feeling bad, he was extra concerned...love this guy....

anyway he dropped me off at travellers at about 9am...

[groove16]

we had a breakfast plan included in our package...we had to sign the ticket every morning...buffet 1200....it had several choices, many jamacian flavors...liver was on the menu this morning....almost made me skip the meal, stomach already queasy...lol....liver....yuck....

our meal EVERY morning was eggs made to order, toast for janet, french toast for me..and fruit....

today was steph's brithday and she had a pub crawl scheduled at travellers at 1200..since it is our home base, very nice place to start...Flip is watching the hockey game,,,Go Macon Whoopee....!!!only hockey game i ever been to....he was decked in his Flyers gear, it was the playoffs, and he didnt think it was funny when i asked how many touchdowns the other team had...lol....

as people start to show for the crawl, it starts to rain..and rain pretty hard...

a few shots around travellers...pool table, table tennis.....
