After waking up, we got in the water as I wanted to see turtles in the water. Fortunately, we were not disappointed and saw two different turtles feeding on the bottom and got to enjoy hanging out with them.
We headed back to Trunk Bay where three Smileys dove and the rest of us snorkeled around Trunk Cay. There was an under water snorkel trail and while the water was rough on one side of the Island, the boys and I made it around. On the protected side, we saw a variety of different fish and coral.
We headed to Leinster Bay for our evening stop. Some folks took naps and T-man and I paddle boarded into shore and T-man got some applause for his handstand on the board.
Dave, the boys and I headed into shore to do some hiking in the national park a little before sunset. We headed up to the ruins and looked out from the top. It was an easy hike, but not for D-man in flip flops so he opted for my water shoes. We could see several of the BVIs from the vista.
When we got back down to shore, D-man and I continued on around the shore and then up to an old sugar plantation ruins that is now part of the national park. Unfortunately, Marshall wasn’t feeling well this day so he didn’t join us. We played Cards Against Humanity and Alex and D-man stayed up chatting like old men.
A rain shower came through and it was almost a full moon. Being in the National Park is extremely cool - it does mean you can’t do water sports or turn out the under water lights or fish, but it does mean a peacefulness and serenity that you don’t get many places.
Very remote. Happy to make memories with the boys today - paddle boarding, snorkeling, hiking. Blessed.
