up and out of the hotel for a 6:15 am pick up to go deep sea fishing…

from the time we left the marina we saw a school of catfish, pelicans, a huge iguana way out on the limb of a tree, a beautiful blue heron, seagulls riding on turtles, a pair of dolphins and more turtles than I can count… a marlin and a sailfish, which did not want to bite on any of the hooks we had in the water… 

and to top it all off a whale spouting and then showing us its full tail…

a glorious day on the water… 

there was blue sky, fog, sun and gentle seas… 

technology wherever you go…

sun starting to peak through the fog…

we all love being on the water but had hoped that my son-in-law would have had the fun of catching a marlin…

 here fishy, fishy, fishy…

waiting with my son-in-law… and getting sunburned feet, sigh…

as I was taking pictures of a very calm pelican, at the back of the boat the boys were throwing the leftover bait to a huge crowd of waiting pelicans, lol…

we ended up walking for a while on our way back to the hotel and came across some sunning iguanas…

how blessed to be able to spend an unforgettable time with family…

dolphins, hot tub, photos, Royal Caribbean Cruise, solarium, whales

got up around 8:30 and went to the solarium to watch the water and have a bite to eat… Cyndi found me and proceeded to spot a group of dolphins off the side of he ship and a whale… she has very good eyes…

we went and put a deposit on another cruise, which you can do without choosing a time or destination… we are thinking of the Caribbean down the road… I have to find a buddy to go with me…

headed back to the room to sleep as I woke up feeling like I had run into a wall… think it was the exertion of preparing and participating in the snorkelling… to explain how bad it was, I took drugs in an attempt to feel better…

slept for quite a while and then we went for lunch where Ron spotted one or two whales out the window… they were breaching but my camera was having trouble focusing so I didn’t get a picture…

went to look at all the pictures taken of us and spent ages choosing the ten we liked best…

had a lovely time in the hot tub and relaxing in the solarium…

packed up the suitcases and after supper in the Windjammer went to sit by the windows and have a last glass of wine…

I nearly know how to get everywhere and we get off the ship tomorrow morning, sigh…
