My husbands birthday was on Sat the 10th. I decided that he would love to get out on a dinghy. Called ahead of time and rented the dinghy for 1/2 day. After a short video we had to watch, we were quickly heading out of Cruz Bay and on our way up to Waterlemon. Ride was smooth except right past Maho you have to take a left and go through a straight. Let me warn everybody...it can be pretty rough out there and I was flying around the dinghy. Having my back wired closed after an operation, I kindly asked husband to take it a little easy. In no time at all, we were at Waterlemon. tied up to a bouy, put our gear on and jumped out. Fantastic snorkeling. Rays, turtles, every fish imaginable and frye's everywhere. Problem now was getting back into the boat. It's not easy, but I took my time and got in there. Problem with me is once I start laughing I lose all strength.
Headed back to Hawksnest...gorgeous beach. This time we were smart enough to bring the dinghy up onto shore. I highly recommend Hawksnest for it's beauty.
We took the ferry back and stoppedc on the beach at sapphire. Showered and tired we made a dinner in the condo of chef salad and some pasta...good night sleep.
Next morning we headed out to Sherri's villas. Rockworks and Stoneworks are an artists dream. It's just amazing what Jeff has done (of course with Sherri's) help. We loved how they made cement tiles, added some coloring and actually baked them in trays. They were just beautiful. These Villas are definetly very interesting. Sherri and Jeff were great to meet and hey Sherri...if you're ever up this way, can you do some tiles for us? :o) This is a top notch piece of property and anyone who is considering it...don't worry...it's gorgeous and Sherr and Jeff are great people.
We headed back to Molly Malones and husband had a steak sandwich. Coming from Phila, we know what's good and what's not...they have it down. I had a delicious chicken sandwich. We hung out at the condo for awhile watching a group of kids play volleyball, having a great time. When we heard the music playing, we headed down to the beach bar and it was packed. What a great group. From 3-6 every sunday.
We also brought some pork roll and scrapple to Mike, who's Mother owns Molly Mallones...you would of thought we brought him gold.
Our friends came in late Sunday, so Monday morning the 4 of us headed down the Sapphire Beach for some snorkeling.
This was just a day of laying around and enjoying our friends company...that night we neaded up to the Grapevine Grille for some food and drinks with all our new found friends....then the lights go out.
No problem...just as long as we have A/C. Power came back on about an hour later and we haeded in to a good nights sleep.
Hi Connie,
Mmmm Yummy, that Pork Roll was good this morning! Had Mike had the Pork Roll before? We had never heard of it!
Had a turn a round at Stone Cottage today, wish you could have seen it too! Was very nice having you over and getting to sit and visit for a while! Already lookin' forward to your next trip! As for the tile, labor intensive and you'll need to buy some cookie sheets! Lol! I AM hoping we can do the Concrete Counter top at Rockworks, we'll see!
Still Monday and Tues., departure day to go!
