Tripping and dripping

We met up on the beach just before ten. We had to sign our lives away, but that provided access to a life preserver and the glass bottomed boat. Soon the intrepid foursome were making their way to the dock to embark on this latest journey of discovery.

The Gorse Fox and Silver Vixen had done this trip last year and were amused to find that the patter had hardly changed at all. We were happy to go along for the ride and let Scully and Mulder enjoy the trip.

Once back on the beach, Mulder went off for a sailing lesson on the Hobie. The Gorse Fox decided he had swallowed enough of the Caribbean yesterday and didn't need to repeat the experience.

We lunched up on the terrace instead of the beach bar. This was excellent and whilst we missed the coconut shrimp, the choice was very good. The Gorse Fox had a snapper sandwich (essentially a burger without the meat but with a huge chunk of snapper). While there we received a message from the Gorse Fox's sister. She had alerted us to the fact that Daniel Craig had been injured while filming the latest James Bond movie here on Jamaica - and what were the Gorse Fox and Mulder going to do about it. We discussed it and decided the Gorse Fox would take over the stunts and Mulder could do the love scenes. Seems like a fair split of responsibilities (though someone commented how short some the scenes may be).

We went back to the beach. The Gorse Fox took some ice creams down to the Silver Vixen (who hadn't joined us for lunch). By the time we got there the ice cream was dripping down the cones and all over the place. That's the problem with 31C and a long walk to the beach from the terrace.

Tonight we have the formal 'Returning Guests' dinner.
