Isla Boa, 4th of July, 2011

Leaving DLL at 11:30a on July 4th, we motored out around Punta Valiente and sailed down to the Plantain Cays, dropped the hook off of Isla Boa, went to beach, explored the beautiful, beautiful place, came back to the boat, BBQ'd some burgers! and lit off a bunch of fireworks! It was fun !!!

Is this not art? What a beautiful sunset that was, M ! :-)

The most interesting woman in the world ... she once showed an African tribal leader how to bite the head off a snake! She might not always eat chips, but when she does, she prefers

DORITOS!

... Jajajajajajaja! Dorito's rule for snacks ~ much better than snake heads ANY day of the week!



I forget what I said, but you can see the reaction :-) !

On the other side, it faces the force of the Caribbean ... this is a flat day with 1-2 ft surf, the blowholes make the sound of a boa constrictor ... it's wild!

... Note the remains of the bottle rockets in your little Ditty "-()



My new underwater camera actually takes neat fireworks shots, these were all rockets launched from about 6 ft from the camera ...

... Rhapsodian phosphorescent phytoplankton ~ very rare, only found close to sailing vessels loaded with alcohol. Catch one if you can!



Spectacular !!! Note once again, Rhapsody's mast in the bottom left of the photo
