Good morning I'm really early this morning I find that we go to bed so early it's hard sleep in but I figure I'm rested so why not get up.

We have the loaner car booked today from 9 to 11 so I'm going to hit the gym while the skipper picks up more goodies from the hardware store I have no idea what but there always seams to be a need for more of something hehe .

Today and tomorrow are looking like calmer days on the water, so the plan is to take El Nido out for a mini cruise to snorkel or perhaps dive. The skipper wants to finish cleaning the props as well.  

The was full and unexpectedly warm which was a lovely treat! Bryan dropped me at the gym I chatted up a nice lady in the locker room she lives in Palm Cay and has done for several years and loves it, we will have to tour one of the condo's just to see what they are like. The gym was good rusty bars lots of of them and metal plates so no dropping of weights which was just fine. I managed to sufficiently kick my own butt it felt really good to be in a gym :)

The skipper had a great road trip to several marine stores he was in his glory. Back at the boat it was lunch and cleaning the prop time, Bryan was given permission to dive in the marina so that saved a trip out less wave action makes it easier for him . I went to the beach for an hour of Vit D therapy, as I walked back to the boat I saw a very large turtle coming into the marina he was followed by a baby shark Bryan was unfortunately out of the water and didn't get a chance to see them. We decided to launch the dingy and take it out to the close by reefs for a snorkel it was so calm so off we went. There are many reefs right off the shore so we didn't have to go that far out to find a nice big bank filled with various fish and small coral it was a surprisingly good snorkel, the water was chilly so didn't stay in too long. I took a few pictures with the Go Pro so once I sort out how to use it I'll post them.

We enjoyed some time at the beach late afternoon watching the sun go down, the skipper was researching winds and weather it really is a great place to do some computer work.

It was my world famous soup night with chicken sausages, I'm really hoping we catch or buy some fish soon that is the only thing missing here is a nice restaurant but that's ok.

Movie of the night was "127 Hours" Early to bed what a surprise hehe, we are such party animals this boating life is so peaceful you get your beauty sleep for sure.
