Today we went to a different beach than we usually do. This beach is located outside of the inlet we usually stay in and is on the open ocean side.
This was our ride: She is fondly known as "The Whale". On our journey to the beach we must traverse bridges such as the one pictured...
Also on our way, on a road built during World War 2, we pass by such sights as the Seventh Day Adventist grass airstrip and their new hangar...
The local prison... The front is a whole lot nicer than the back...
We must keep a sharp lookout for "wild life"... In addition to cows, one often comes across pigs, dogs, and goats... We also experience a lot of hills and curves....
Once we have arrived we must check in at the police station and let them know who we are and where we are going and for how long. Then we find a boat driver and negotiate a price... Today we didn't have to do that as our friends had already arranged everything ahead of time. These boats are so much faster than the traditional boats with outriggers. Here they call these boats "Johnsons". Sort of like how we all call tissues, "Kleenex"...
As we motor along on the open sea, we see sights such as this:
It is the wavy season but thankfully today there were more swells than waves. The guys driving our boat grew up on the sea and are really good at what they do.... thankfully.... Upon arrival, you have FUN!!
Then you go home really, really tired and really, really sandy....
