Friday, May 13 ship's log. The captain put us under sail and as we headed north for some snorkeling, "fishing" and treasure hunting (an unexpected surprise). Al had all the lines out looking for our dinner for the evening when out of the blue we got a strike. As Al struggled with our dinner, another predator (a shark) decided that it was also hungry and took half of our Spanish mackerel. Well, so much for dinner, but hors' douvres it is! We then anchored off North Rock for some snorkeling. Bob, Eugene, Scott and Larry took off towards the rock. On the way Eugene found some booty and shared it with us when we got to the rock. The wonderful booty he shared with us was a set of snorkel, fins and a mask someone dropped to the bottom. We swam all around the rock and there were thousands of beautiful fish and none of us had a camerayet. On the swim back to the boat Scott saw something shiny on the bottom and discovered in addition to snorkel gear that person also dropped a very expensive underwater camera! Suddenly we felt like treasure hunters! After some debate, Bob convinced Larry that the right thing to do was to have the captain make an announcement on the radio that some lost items were found near North Rock and to contact us if it was theirs. We took off towards the marina, "fishing", and this time Al finally earned his pay by catching another Spanish mackerel (this time the whole thing) and a Mutton Snapper. We can eat tonight! Upon our arrival at the marina we discovered that there were dolphins at the marina, Miami Dolphin cheerleaders. Captain Mark and Eugene went in search for these "dolphins" but leave it to Larry and Scott to find them. The Land brothers got a personally signed autograph of a picture of the "dolphins." Something to treasure for life! Al then cooked the delicious Spanish mackerel (he's not only a fisherman, but can cook too)! For the rest of the evening the boys played poker and took back Larry's kids college fund he had earned the night before. What a cruel game! O, during the game we had a visitor who came to claim the snorkel gear and camera. A young lady with the Shark Institute capsized her kayak earlier in the day and dumped everything out. She had already flown off the island but we gave the gear to the Shark Institute and they said they would get it to her. After hearing the story Larry decided that we indeed did the right thing. Overall, it was a great day in paradise!
