Dinner and sunset at Marker 88

Fun, fast, flat-out

Standard

Wednesday 4th January

  

Jet skis this morning were great fun, speeding around offshore, then through the mangroves, bayside; we were very lucky to see a large group of spotted eagle rays. At times we were doing over fifty miles an hour, bouncing and swerving over the waves with the spray hitting our faces, stinging our eyes ~ but it was so exhilarating.

This afternoon~ a snorkel trip, but it was a little cloudy, poor visibility, plus I got stung by a jelly fish. Oh dear ~ it took ages for the stinging and throbbing to abate, despite spraying with white vinegar.

This evening we met up with our friends for another sunset drink.

The crescent moon looked beautiful up there: blowing kisses to you sweetie. Love you so very much.

A fishing trip

Standard

Tuesday 3rd January
  

Today we went on a fishing trip to catch ‘the big one’. The boat was ready to leave at nine thirty in the morning; as it was already baking hot in the beautiful sunshine we made sure we were suitably covered with sunscreen. 

Each of us managed to catch at least one fish: although they weren’t the massive specimens hoped for, it was good fun. Baiting with strips of squid, letting the line go until it hit the bottom some thirty feet down, then waiting, waiting, waiting …….. expectantly for the bite, before reeling up the precious catch. A few snapper, box fish (which had to be returned), and many grunts were hooked by the aspiring fishermen.

Upon arrival back at the dock, the fish were allocated to their catchers, gutted and cut into filets ~ we left with quite a decent bag.

And with that bag firmly secured, we drove to a restaurant where your catch is cooked for you ~ blackened and fried, served with salads and fries.

We had so much food prepared that it was difficult to finish everything ~ I’m sure if you were there you would have helped us clear the table. 

We love you so much

We think about you daily

We miss you all the time

Dearest, darling Angel son

Tarpon and Pelicans

Standard

Monday 2nd January
  

We took your brother and his girlfriend to Robbies this morning to see the tarpon and the ever-hungry pelicans. These birds are so greedy and will push and shove to take the little fish from the buckets meant for the tarpon.

A manatee also made an appearance under the dock, swimming leisurely along, taking no notice of the other massive, voracious fish.

The weather was fabulous and we spent a good few hours eating, drinking, feeding the fish and wandering around looking at all the craft stalls. We also booked a fishing trip, a snorkelling outing and a jetski session for the next few days.

On the way back we stopped off at Anne’s Beach to watch the many kite surfers mastering the wind gusts to show off their aerobatic skills. I think both your brother and his girlfriend were watching wistfully thinking how good it would be if they had their boards with them.

We miss you sweetie and we think about you all the time.

Love you

Darling Angel son
