The Perfect Day

Golf at Black Pearl, afternoon snorkel with the seahorse, and another evening at Tranquil Seas. 
The golfing was awesome.  Eileen broke 100 and I didn't.  Enough said about the scores.  I had a couple of bad holes, like the one where I hit from five different bunkers.....Timmy the caddy sucked right up to Eileen and really helped her game.  By the end, she was ready to import him and go shopping for a set of Calaway clubs. Conner, watch for deals.... She used clubs for shots that she's never tried before, like a three wood off the fairway.  He would suggest a club, she would pick it up, and smoke it.  She had a blast with him.  A few cool things like pelicans sitting at the edge of the fairway and the incredible ocean views with the two colours of blue and the reef not far offshore.  We had lunch up at the SKY restaurant which is on the top of a very high hill with a wonderful view of both sides of the island.  Picture appended.  The taxi driver that brought us to the course had never been here before; when he returned to pick us up he brought his wife and young child for pictures from the top of the hill. 
Came back to the house, afternoon nookie, and then off for a snorkel to cool down.  Hit the dock again and found Eileens seahorse.  Chased him around the pilon a few times to try and get him in the sunlight for a good picture.  I haven't looked at them yet but I don't think I got a really good one.  Eileen says he is just too cute.
Taxied back to Tranquil Seas for tapas night again.  It was quite a party atmosphere tonight.  There were so many people there that we knew.  Trish from Assiniboia was there with a group of about 12, including one somewhat inhibriated american woman who was the life of the party.  A couple from Chicago that we knew, Darren from Ohio (From Trip Advisor, more on him in a minute), Bonnie from next door, another couple we met at Blue Parrot last week, and on and on.....Darren had a set of harmonicas with him so he joined in with TwoCanDo and did a fantastic job.  He got so into the music and it added such a nice touch.  They need to import him too.  Dylaina, the dance floor was pretty packed tonight, sorry you weren't there.
Got home, sat on the upper deck for a rum and watched the incredible star display......and talked about buying.......We had a great day.
