We settled into our normal pattern. Howard woke up and got himself down to the dock to go diving while Kirsten found a warm sunny spot to read.

The dives were good, the visibility was not. The sites are still murky from the hurricane that came through last week. On the first dive, the dive master gave the sign for a turtle and pointed, I looked and all I could see was two large heads of hard coral. Then one of the heads moved! It was the largest turtle anyone had even seen. It's head was the size of a 3 gallon water cooler and it lumbered through the water with a cleaner fish attached to its shell. The sheer bulk was unbelievable and its shell had to be 5-6 feet in length.

After lunch, we drove to a trail head at Lind Point and hiked down to Honeymoon Beach. When we got there, the beach was virtually deserted and we dove right in to snorkel. The visibility was not bad and there were tons of fish around.

Dinner: Morgan's Mango - slow and below par.
