We finally had a chance to get off the big ship and get into a smaller ship to sail and snorkel. In my opinion, it’s the best way to spend the American Holiday known as Black Friday. It’s been more than twenty years since I’ve been inside a mall (or any store) on the day after Thanksgiving. I used to love the excitement and hype of pre-Christmas sales. I’d shop for hours on end. We called it competitive aerobic shopping…and I was a champ. Anyway, along about the time that our first Lovebug arrived, I put aside my championship belt and retired from the shopping game. Snorkeling>Shopping.
We had coffee and pastries in our room and then headed off for some fun.

The view from our balcony, looking towards a very nice shopping area.
I took this photo as we walked along the short dock from Serenity to the shopping area.
Our sailboat and crew greeted us warmly.

Serenity is the only ship in port.
My first selfie of the day.
First mate, Star, did what everyone does when they see us taking selfies..offered to take the photo for us.
So lucky with the weather, as rain had been forecast.

Star fishing,but not catching off the back of the boat.
It may be hard to recognize that this is a wreck…
…I took a few photos of the wreck and can’t decide which one I like best…
Tim’s first selfie of the day.

We had a wonderful time sailing out to the snorkel site…then we snorkeled for about 45 minutes. The water was so warm and clear, we saw tiny yellow and black fish, and many Yellow Tail Snappers. We forgot the underwater camera. Again. Don’t get old…

Back at the dock, I snapped another pic of this boat…I love the shape and colors.
After lunch at the Trident Grill, we wrote postcards to the bugs. Then I went to the gym and Timmy took a nap.

Tim’s soup.
My grilled octopus with gazpacho
Tim’s medallions of veal.
I had a half portion of monkfish.

Question…Why is my food so much more colorful than Timmy’s?

Raspberry yogurt…tastes like gelato.
Some sort of a trifle.

We skipped the show and turned in early. Thanks for following along. 🩵
