Our host Dan was at the airport to greet us. We stopped by a little grocery store to get some breakfast and lunch items and then on to the cabana. Sundancer Cabanas are small two story wooden houses nestled in the trees along the beach. We are on the second floor with a big screened in front porch. Although we have AC we didn't need it. The strong ocean breeze kept it nice and cool. The place is full of trees and flowering shrubs and as a result there are beautiful birds and lizards everywhere. It is mango season and Alden is in heaven. There is a huge mango tree right next to our house and she and the fruit bats are enjoying the bountiful supply of fruit, literally on our doorstep. As soon as we arrived we threw on our suits and headed for the beach. Sandy Bay beach is a secluded little stretch of beach that has palm and almond trees growing right down on the sand. There is a long dock with an elevated observation deck. We all enjoyed jumping off of it into the water below. We did a bit of snorkeling and saw a conch and two sea stars. Did not make it out to the reef because it was pretty rough. A lady that we met on the dock suggested that we should try in the morning as the sea is calm then. And that is our plan for today. Tilghman and I were up early and did some yoga at the end of the dock as the sun came up. We have just finished breakfast and are slowly motivating to snorkel out to the reef. It is so peaceful here, the wind in the palms, the calls of the birds and the chatter of angry hummingbirds. Mmmm a beautiful day in paradise.
