Today was sunny and warm, again. The weather is so predictable here, you can’t even say “nice day”, because it’s just as nice as the day before! We headed over to the beach, and piled into the water at the Fisherman’s huts, just north of the visible wreck.

We learned a funny story about that wreck. The wreck was not always in it’s current location, in fact, people aren’t even sure where it came from. One morning it just appeared on the beach. How is that possible? Well it was the morning after Hurricane Lenny hit the area! Seems Lenny dredged it up and deposited it there!

The water was calm, and clear and there were tons of fish! The fish in June have different behaviours than in December. In the winter, the squirrel fish is remarkably shy, and runs and hides at your approach. The triggerfish will usually not allow a close approach either. But here in June, they seemed to be showing themselves off. But upon reflection, it’s not that they are showing off, it’s that they are guarding their nests! The squirrel fish is actually a bit aggressive, protecting the holes they have dug in the bottom to lay their eggs.

We spent nearly three hours in the ocean, since it was so beautiful and clear. It was just so hard to get out! The only problem is, we kinda burnt ourselves out!

We spent the rest of the day just relaxing around Caribbean Palm Village, our condo. I’ve posted a pic Pam took of the view out the front door of our condo. It has a nice big hot tub, and we’ve spent quite a bit of time in there too!

We wanted something simple for dinner, so we tried the New Wei Tai restaurant, which is supposed to be the best Chinese food on the island. It was very good! Better than a lot of Vancouver Chinese restaurants, that’s for sure. The General Tao’s chicken deserves special mention – spicy and crunch and saucy! Marvelous!

We went over to the little mall and got an ice cream cone and strolled around hand in hand watching the people go by. It was a really nice finish to another day in paradise.
