Eastern Caribbean

Zodiaks take us to the private island, and a wet landing.

After finding the little foot path that led across the island, and walking it, we found our private beach.

Rick & Joan spent most of their time in the water, snorkeling.

And taking some pictures.

Actually, lots of pictures.

One of my two favorite pictures of the trip.

This is the other one.

Joan (and the Marines) have landed on this shore of Grenada. Whereas the Marines "landed" where there was no land (communications error), We had the advantage of a tender driver that actually had a map.

Of course, the day we landed was the hottest day of the year. Many turned back. We carried on to find the Batik Factory. Which we did. Then we headed back to the boat, but not before declining to buy nutmeg (several times).

Outdoor BBQ night with entertainment. We were asked to wear something festive. Well, I had this brand new batik T-Shirt. It was that or some other T-shirt.

I think I must have won the "Best Festive Wear Award", or something like that.

Then they struck up the band.

What may indeed go down as the happiest party picture, ever.

And one that wll go down as something else.
