Well, this is going to be an experience. The setting here is beautiful, with huge shade trees, a lot of which are oaks, with huge acorns laying on the ground everywhere. Completely different leaves than the burr oak that we are used to seeing. Flowering trees and shrubs everywhere. The casitas are pretty basic, bedrooms on each side of the entryway, then six or seven steps leading down to a screened in living area with a table, chairs, hammock, and a basic kitchen. Two big showers and a bathroom off to the side. AC in the bedrooms but also several big shuttered windows for natural breeze.

They have a long dock with a dive shop out at the end and a second level sun deck where Eileen is planning to spend a lot of time. Just off to one side of the deck is a small area of coral that I had a snorkel through this afternoon. A surprising number of interesting fish considering the size of the area. Didn't find the resident nurse shark but saw a porcupine fish (pretty big one), Spotted trunkfish, small barracuda, several lobsters, and one turtle.

Tomorrow is going to be a quiet day, there is no staff on site apart from the owners and security, so no diving or restaurant. We'll make do for breakfast and lunch and then probably check out Paya Bay in the afternoon, and have supper there. They had spots reserved for us for next weeks diving as they only take eight people per day so I'm glad I mentioned that there were two of us that wanted to do some diving.

Doug here, I've been following your adventure and I have to say I'm pretty jealous, everything looks pretty amazing with the exception of your score of 99 on the lynx, I think you can do better than that. Say Hi to your wife for me and we all miss you around here.
