Hike to Gorda Peek

at the top of the hike you climb up a little lookout stand

the "hike"

view from the top.  The little island in the middle is Saba Rock.  The restaurant/island where we saw the Toucans, from the previous post when we first arrived on the island.

Did the short hike to the tallest point on the island.  The view at the top was amazing! The hike itself was pretty much like any other hike.  It took about 40 min round trip. Nice little morning exercise to work of the afternoon beers.

Playing cards on a rainy day

One of the Tropical Storms we had left us with a day off and nothing to do so we played some crazy eights and have had an ongoing score sheet ever since.  Have to do a tally but I think I am still ahead....I  think all those backyard crazy eight summers playing with mom are finally paying off!

It was hard to get a picture of the storm...really it was just like your typical day in Vancouver....

This was in our driveway, an Egret.  We have seen it around once in a while since but it was really funny the first time it went walking by.  Its about 3 feet tall.

Also here is a shot of our island vehicle.  The tire cover is all ripped up so we are slowly patching it up with stickers that we find along the way.

Worst Blogger EVER

Wow, its been a while since I posted.... we have in the past couple of months got our Scuba Diving Certification (Corey and I) and also took a 3 day mini vacation to St. Martin.  And not really a single picture to show for it! Partly because the salt and sand has bugged up our camera but alas, it does still take photos and I should really use it more! Will try.

Anyways, here are some pics of a day we spent at Savannah Bay snorkelling.  I think this was back in September? A great day. We saw a nurse shark and some pretty fish.  Nurse sharks are small and shy so it didn't bother us at all or even come out of its hiding spot in the reef.

Lately there has been some jelly fish around so we haven't spent much time int he water.  I got stung by a moon jellyfish in St. Martin when we decided to take late night swim.  Kind of feels like 50 bee stings in one spot and swells for a few days but not too bad.  So I have been a little more cautious about water excursions.

one of the beers is Corey's, thank you very much!

Chickens really are everywhere on this island. This one is rocking out with us! hahaha

Debbie's Birthday is tomorrow, as well as Stevie's birthday is today so to celebrate we are taking a day and spending it in Tortolla probably ending up at Tamarind, a newish pool bar.  Should be fun! Will try to take some pics ;)
