Today we thought we would get up a bit early and head for Spring Bay, this beach was recommended by Tiina the care taker of our Villa. It was another day of spectacular snorkeling, we thought were were only going to stay for a short time, but we stayed much longer, we just could not leave. At Spring Bay the beach is small, with a small cove, smaller than the one on Gilligan's Island (for those old enough to remember that show), to exit the cove you need to cross a reef with large boulders. It looked treacherous but we found that you could snorkel over the reef, once on the other side, the water was clear to large depths and the marine life was fantastic. We had a great time.
From Spring Bay we headed over to check out the copper mine, it was a good ride, but not much to see other than ruins. So we decided to find a place for lunch.
We stopped at the Yacht Club where there are various shops and a few places to eat. We did not plan to stay to eat at this one place since it was not air conditioned and it was getting pretty warm, but with 2 for 1 rum punches and Marcus the bartender, who the girls took a shine too, we ended up hanging there for a few hours. We even ran into Meron our Guide from our trip to Anegada the day before. Needless to say after a few hours of rum punches, and a few appetizers we were well past lunch and headed back to the Villa to do some LIMIN at the pool. We decided to extend our Safari vehicle another day, so I stopped in their office a few hours after we should have returned it...they said cool mon, no worries...we are getting to like the island attitude.
After slightly sobering up at the pool we went down to the local Leverick bay bar for happy hour, where you can get "Pain killers", "Bushwackers", "Rum Punch" and a few others for $3 a drink. The names all fit, they have the desired effect.
One thing about island time is that it is hard to figure out what time it is. In the morning and early afternoon the "its five o'clock somewhere" rule applies and in the evening it seems later than it is since the sun sets around 6-6:30 here this time of year. Again just forget about anybody rushing to do anything, it just is not going to happen, it takes some getting used to initially but within a few days everyone is on "Island Time".
No plans yet for tomorrow, we may just go back to Savannah beach or Spring Bay, they were both awesome and worth doing again.
