Day to Day life

Day to day life is quite easy these days.  We live very simply on the beach, all we really need shows up on our door step daily - well the ice cream man is only weekly (and that's a good thing) 


the local vendors arrive with water, fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and prawns, bread, tamales, even pizza and sweets.

 From the truck to my sink - all washed and ready to eat!

 Dolphin sighting have been frequent lately, that usually means fishing is good. One huge pod stayed around the bay for about an hour – so exciting and entertaining to see them fishing and playing and watching the birds that follow along looking for their share of the food.  This photo is taken from my kayak, in lumpy water, but if you look close at the centre you can spot a couple of dolphins.  They were feeding and moving fast, I never did catch up to them.

One of many happy hours - this one is celebrating Nan's birthday. Here are Steve and Nan serving up Mimosas (champagne and fresh squeezed orange juice)

We are doing just fine - the weather is perfect, much warmer than the past few years.  The cold spell I talked about last post only lasted a few days.  We have been swimming most days, the water is so warm.

The usual day starts with a power walk from one end of the beach road to the other (approx. 3 km.) then onto the water with the paddle board and do the same route on the water, then it's time for a swim.  If the water is still calm we may take out the kayaks and paddle out to the island.  Then before you know it the day is done and it's time for another happy hour!  Whew!  Oh, and I must add that during most of these strenuous activities you will find John on his favorite chair reading (or talking with someone)......waiting for the wind to come up so he can go sailing.
