Good news on the painkillers! When we arrived and told the bartender (Mic wasn't there) what had happened, she gave us two anyway. So, we paid it forward. Now, Maggy and her hubby have two much deserved drinks waiting for them. Hopefully, the volcano in Iceland that I can neither pronounce nor spell will behave, and they can redeem them very soon.

A big thanks to XIG and Mr.XIG or the drinks. They sure tasted good after a morning of snorkeling and were very much appreciated. 8)

Becky, we really enjoyed our day with you and John on Palm Tree Charters. It was nice to have someone to snorkel with who enjoys it as much as I do. Thanks for putting up with me and sharing the day with us. You guys are great. As usual, your trip reports and pictures are fantastic. Maybe I'll get a short one posted before too long. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Pam, we did not "put up with you!" You guys were really fun to hang out with! :D I forgot that they gave you the painkilers anyway. That really was nice of them.

SOonthebeach, the drink picture was taken with a canon rebel xs 10.1 with a 75-300 telephoto zoom lens and a polarizing filter. I wish I had used this camera more, I was afraid to bring it to the beach and leave it while snorkeling, and it rained our last day, so I did not get to do the North Shore photo tour I had been planning.

All the underwater shots, as well as the beach and food shots, are with a canon sd800 and housing (when underwater).

Pickle, you have to go to the Indians! Maybe try taking dramamine? I actually felt a little bit queasy a couple of times because the ride was so rough. I find that focusing on the horizon helps with nausea on a boat.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

The Indians are probably my all time favorite snorkeling spot. As long as the water isn't too rough I find the snorkeling experience to be unsurpassed. :lol:

Also, I have never been to rhumblines for dinner as I've always heard that their food is generally very spicy. I'm not a huge fan of spicy (food shoudn't hurt :( )

Loving the TR and pics! Keep em coming!

Sounds like you had a great boat day.

We were a day ahead of you at Jost. We moored (or maybe anchored) in the bay by Foxy's Taboo.

Totally starving now - glad my dinner bell (aka microwave) just rang :D
