A trip reports of sorts

[irieworld]

A couple of hours later, charge not yet 100 percent but it is time to move on. Capt. is downstairs meeting w/a surveyor--I hand back the charger and head out to the road. Hop a route cab to the round about and walk back to Hi Lo to buy a few things (thyme and coffee!) that I had missed in my mega mart shopping blast. I walk back from there to NBCC with only a few hoots and hollers and taxicab toot toots on the way. I also get offers from guys to help carry my bags--no thanks I am good--almost home!

I get back change and swim. I challenge the life guard, Gary, to a swim to the buoy.
We go for it and I kick butt, yet I am impressed that he can swim so far. He insists on a mask, I take fins and end up giving him one fin when he lags far behind. Even with one fin I outswam him. I also tried to teach him to float--he sank like a stone! I tried to do like my mom did and hold my arms under his back while encouraging him to fill his lungs with air and make his body light. He still sunk!

While out there in the sea I could hear the music pulsating from the Sunday night beach party and decided i should check it out. I hooked up with some other guests at NBCC who also had heard the music and were ready to check it out. More on that soon come.
