Sunday in Wayag Bay

4/17
I woke up to my alarms at 6:30 & 7 AM, per my usual routine.  I usually can barely keep my eyes open until 10:30PM! My body clocks have been reset, it seems!  Maybe all this fresh air is making me tired.
This bay is absolutely darling with little itty bitty islands and we woke up to what looks like a sunny day. I burned a little yesterday so I will definitely be doing sunblock because today is hiking a mountain and a beach barbecue! Yay!




1:30PM update - it's raaaaining! No hike (too slippery), no beach, and likely no bonfire. So - more diving! I might skip so I can sleep but we'll see.  Today we had French fries for lunch, among other things. Breakfast included homemade bread with chocolate or raisin! I got raisin.  Holy carbs this trip!!  The salt shaker lid wasn't on so well...

I thought about it and I am easily getting 8:30-9 hrs of sleep per night! Awesome!
Jon is still laughing at Darlene and I for dancing around like little kids in the bioluminescent stuff last night.  It was so much fun!  Wheeeeee!
7PM: Well the second morning dive was not all that impressive so I decided to take the third dive off and just have a nice long nap. Naturally this dive turned out to be spectacular, per all the reports, and I missed it! And poor Tammy didn't have her camera, so in a way she missed it, too!  The sleep was great though.  The beach, the hike, and bonfire are all cancelled due to the rain that hit us and has stayed all day.  I don't have a dry swimsuit for tomorrow, so that won't be fun! I left mine out to dry on the line and it got rained on.  Note to self: 3 swimsuits per dive trip.
Tonight, the dinner was an elaborately prepared fish, fried chicken, potatoes (no rice!), and some other things. Dessert = watermelon. I think I eat watermelon every day. No pineapple here - such a pity!

Later, we took our traditional toe photo and reviewed some of Jim and Karl's above water photos. Our equator ceremony ones turned out cute.  I think the staff thinks/knows we are crazy. 
Tonight the staff was at the front of the boat playing guitar and bongos so some music and dancing was in order.  Now - time for sleep!  Tomorrow we might climb and then set sail for our next dive destination.

Cayman Brac Dive day 1

We all made it safely to the island called Cayman Brac for the Dive Frendzee takeover! I have been delighted with everything since arriving! It is blissfully remote and I feel quite content to never leave the resort compound to venture anywhere else.  It is like we are at the end of the world in a wonderful day!  The food...oh my the food! (I have officially turned in my Mom)!  It is all buffet but GOOD buffet!  Rolls, soups, multiple salads, cheese board, multiple hot side dishes, and then two or three entries, one always carved with a sauce.  Last night was ham. Oh, and dessert! 3 different choices last night: coconut flan, carrot cake, and chocolate walnut pie. This place offers Valet style diving, so in the morning, we were to have our gear outside our door in bags they provide, and they pick everything Iup and take it over to the dive boats and they set everything up! Valet diving, Princess diving, whatever you want to call it.... I am loving it! After that, it was time for b

30 day sugar challenge

Image
Ok, my goal is to restrict myself to 6 tsp or 25 grams of sugar per day as recommended by health organizations who study these things.  I haven't tracked my eating for a while but a I am sure I am way over that! I watched a movie called Sugar Coated and it had inspired me, as well as all my friends giving up things for Lent.  Since I have a marathon on Sunday, I will not be able to be quite as strict on race day but will give this a whirl. I started by going through my cupboards and was stunned by all the things that contained sugar!! My vitamins, calcium, taco seasoning... it feels like I am down to salt, pepper, oil, and dish soap!! I need to research whether that 25 grams is added sugar, separate from the naturally occurring sugar in fruits, or it that is all forms of sugar. That would be much harder!!
