The plan initially was to go out today on a fishing charter,
but our captain cancelled due to “engine problems”. I think it was more to do
with “I don’t want to go out on Good Friday problems”! Nothing we could do
about it but plan for the next activity. Since the fishing was out, we headed
down to the Wyndham resort just a mile down the road. White Sands Sports offers
a kiteboarding class and we wanted to see if they had availability for LT
today. Here again – no luck! They were fully booked. I had called the day prior
late and they said that they still had some openings. Apparently between night
and before opening, they booked out. Again, I think it was all the Good Friday
deal.
Anna, Olivia and I ended up having breakfast at the resort,
while LT played basketball. Breakfast was a brunch style and although it was
good, it was sparse and mucho expensivo! Granted the food on the island has
been expensive pretty much everywhere, this one took the cake for what it was.
I ended up heading downstairs to go see Thomas, while the girls finished up
there meal. While we waited for the ladies, LT and I tried our hand at table
tennis. Young Schiffers is starting to get pretty good at the old game.
After breakfast we headed back to the house to pick up
somethings and then headed out to Rum Point. LT and I wanted to try our luck at
fishing the point, while Olivia wanted to get her hair braided. Mama wanted to
go to Rum Point to do some people watching and hoped to listen to some live
music. Everyone got what they wanted.
When we got to Rum Point, LT and I casted and casted. LT
however was the only one that managed to wrangle in something on the line.
Thomas managed to get three small barracudas to shore. The last one he caught
ended up wiggling while he was trying to get the hard bait out and he ended up
getting one of the treble hooks caught in his thumb. Not a pleasant feeling. A
minute later and with the help of pliers, I pulled out the hook. He was not a
happy camper.
Both of us called it quits on the fishing and head back to
meet up with the girls. Olivia and Anna were sitting at the beach bar shack. We
were greeted with smiles and Thomas was happy to sit and try to get over the
pain of having a barb stuck in his hand. A mud slide later and young Schiffers
was slowly starting to come back to life. Thomas, Olivia and I ate some of the
local dishes they had at the Wreck Bar and Grill. The whole place was packed
today. After the food and a few more drinks, we headed over to see LT get his
hair braided. Olivia had gotten hers done while we went out fishing.
About 4pm we kicked from Rum Point and headed over to Kaibo
for one last rendezvous. We had a few drinks there and goofed around on the
beach before finally heading home around 6pm.
