The Captain!

Oil 'N' Water was the boat we had chartered, but we got to go on the Extreme Machine with the Frequent Floaters.

Looking across the bay to the Mother ship

Command station - Extreme Machine

Another look at

And we're off!


People seem to like to take pictures of this house


One of the guides - wish I could remember his name - he turned out to be a hero! Later, when we went through the rocks a different group was coming from the opposite direction. When one of that party fell down a ladder our guide flew over to break his fall - getting pretty well squished in the process. I'm sure our guide was to some extent hurt, but never let it interfere with him doing his job. Meanwhile, I'm not sure I have ever seen a less grateful person than the one the fell. At least some others in both groups appreciated the
efforts of our guide. I guess that's all I'm going to say about that.

Approaching Devils Bay - we were the only ones here - but not for long...




And we swim in !!!


Happy faces (sure...) - from one of the cattle boats...

Is the coast clear? Not yet...

Sometimes waiting has its advantages.
I made a break for it and made it!







Poor Man's Bar & Grill


Some of the lockers available
Some famous people - I think we met them on another thread...



I'm taking the water route back...









Many of the people seem to be getting back onboard, but it wasn't to to go...
They said I had maybe 40 minutes left, so I'm thinking what are these people
thinking???

And off I go again.. Hey - there's people on the beach - what's up with that??





Somebody sitting on top of a boulder off in the distance...





Ok, time to blow this place...



Quick everybody take a picture so we can compare later!

Another one of the Patouche boats...




Back at the ship - one of these days I'm going to have to get one of those wigs...
Bonus pics from the last time I took a Bath - 2-3 years ago...
