Hummm...wasn't that the title of an apocalytic movie? Anyway...
We've been to the beach every day we've been here. Because we've been so busy, some days we've had to make time, force time, to get there. Here, like anywhere else, the day-to-day pressures can overwhelm you. One of the things we have to remind ourselves that the beach is WHY we're here. The bar and the business are what make it possible for us to be here.
The ocean has been really rough since we got here, rougher than we've ever seen it, and the locals (the ones who got here before we did) are saying pretty much the same thing. The surfers and kite-surfers are loving it but it makes it tough going for snorkeling. The currents have been strong and the water pretty churned up and cloudy.
Still, we've seen wonderful stuff: beautiful purple and white fan coral waving in the current, schools of jacks, our first barracuda (very pretty and not at all scary), a huge elkhorn coral that everybody else knows about but we just saw for the first time.
We'll see what today brings.
