I was up at about 6.30am this morning to get the boat across to Rocky Point to make the 'fun dives'. I guess this is the general term that is used to describe any dive which isn't geared towards contributing to a qualification nor employment. The dives were both pretty good. The first did leave me feeling very light headed and rather weak afterwards. The second nearly sent me into a deep sleep but I was brave and headed off to watch the Netherlands lose against Russia which wasn't a bad game by any stretch of the imagination.
This took most of the afternoon and I headed off to the private beach just past the place where I've been staying. It was a pleasant enough way to hang out and try to take a few shots which I think I've seen somewhere else before but nonetheless my pessimism didn't stop me a great deal this afternoon. The shots are in a photo-essay if I can call it that, on flickr at trawling for girls and seaweed, driftwood and flowers should you be inclined to take a look at what I've done.
The food was good today - I managed to edge slightly outside of my usual budget and it was well worth it. Yesterdays wasn't bad either - lobster pasta for lunch followed by a drunken ramble around the island at night. Today was tuna steak which had been marinated in something local, God knows what, and this evening shrimps in garlic which were delish...
