An extra day in paradise

Today was a quiet day and our original plans to visit Dunn's Falls and the Ochi craft market were scuttled with the change in travel plans. We got to spend an extra day at Great Huts and so ended up just relaxing - first at Great Huts in the morning, then at Frenchman's Cove in the afternoon where we had a delicious jerk chicken lunch, rum punch and a lemon loaf cake for dessert.Above is me relaxing at Great Huts after a feeble attempt at snorkling. I just didn't master the breathing well enough to head out into deeper waters but I did see an amazing school of fish.Above the girls are returning for lunch at Frenchman's Bay, rum punches in hand. They enjoyed floating down the river with the current carrrying them to sea. Once again, the water was cold on the surface and warm below but lovely once you got used to it and no where as near as cold as it would be anywhere in Canada. We've just got used to the warm Caribbean Sea.George in the river at Frenchman's Cove.The Clipper Around the World Race left Port Antonio this afternoon. This boat has a Scottish flag on it.Tomorrow we leave the north shore around noon and head towards Kingston where we expect to arrive around 3:00 or 4:00. We'll update you on our arrival so you know we are safe.
