#Summer2023: Day 12 - Dolphins and Charter Boats

This place really is paradise; we love it!

When coming down we asked Sadie what was one thing she really wanted to do, and she said to see dolphins.  We looked at sighting trips (expensive and not guaranteed to see them) and other options, and we settled on the Dolphin Research Center.  And it just so happens to be right next door to Jolly Roger!

And Sadie got to swim with the dolphins!

Meanwhile, Dad and I went out on the Barracuda (Sea Dog Charters).  It was a packed boat and the water was rough.  Dad is too unstable to stand in those conditions so he watched.  The boat caught around 80 fish (small but legal) but when we divided up the catch some, including us, were shorted.  One nice gentleman gave his catch away to a lady that wasn't going to get any.  The problem was the captain miscounted those that stayed for fish.

Picture above was the ship's mate and not the captain.

Regardless, we came home and grilled up our small count of fish and some shrimp we had bought, then went to the pool.to beat the heat.

We did manage to catch another sunset, though.  Bluer skies tonight!

Mom and Dad leave in the morning to head back home!  We are here for three more days.  

I do enjoy Island Time!

Jamaica Beach, Day 4

Today started slow, as vacation days should.  No real plans other than a bit of shopping and a nap. Quick breakfast and then helped Brandon....
