Re: Active Octopi?

In February we saw 3 maybe 4 Octopi at Salt Pond along the left side. I got some amazing pictures. A couple of them are entered into the Island Treasure Maps photo contest on Facebook. One of the photos has 2 Octopi in it. Salt Pond is usually a good place for turtles too.

Re: Ticker check!

I have 3 more sleeps. I probably won't sleep the last night as I won't get home from work until 10:30PM and have to leave the house at 4 AM. Can I just call it 2? Awe, who's counting anyway. :)

Re: Trip Report

Thanks for sharing. We love Haulover North. We always go in January/February so there have been times we couldn't get in, it was just too rough. We went in May a couple of years ago and snorkeled there a couple times that trip. One time we saw a dive boat. We stayed away from them, but someone on th...

Re: What do you pack in your cooler for villa meals& snack?

I once made two bananna breads and brought them. When we arrived I put one in the freezer. It was great for breakfast and the one in the freezer was used during the second week.
