DAY 22 - LOBSTER, LOBSTER AND MORE LOBSTER

Very early in the morning about half the party(ers) returned to the boat with the Zodiac; the other half stayed on the island for the night.  At daybreak they swam back to the boat for breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon.  At around 8:30 we hauled anchor and carried on.

When I awoke this morning my right calf was sore and stiff and noticeable swelling of the ankle and the foot.  This condition seemed to be related to my earlier joint stiffness and pain.  Around noon we dropped anchor at another small island.  We all went snorkeling for a short while - the snorkeling is awesome.  We then returned to the boat for lunch.  Aside from my sore calf and swollen ankle and foot, I'm feeling great.  After lunch we rested, tried to hide from the noon-day sun and some went snorkeling.

For supper tonight we went ashore for a feast of lobster prepared by the local Natives.  If you enjoy lobster, you would have been in lobster heaven.  Christa, the first mate, prepared a passion fruit sauce which was poured over the lobster, very good.

After a couple of hours on shore, we returned to the boat, chatted for a bit and then to bed around 10 p.m.

  1. Oh man, those lobsters look delicious. However, I expect you went to bed a very hungry man.
