Still waters

Looking toward Blue Hole from the dune next to Villa Tropcal

The ocean has been flat - flat - flat! The surfers are all wailing because there hasn't been a good swell in nearly three weeks and pretty much no swell at all for a week. The up-side is it has been summer-like flat for snorkeling and diving. Twice this week we've gone diving on the outside reef at Shacks, something that normally only happens in the doldrum days of summer. This time of year most diving is "around the corner" of the island at Crashboat or Naturale. Any time we get to go to the "outside" at Shacks this time of year is a bonus.
