Sharks sharks sharks!

Here we are, the crew out to have dinner at a very very nice restaurant in St Lucia called The Green Salamander or something such. Very polite personnell, excellent food, and very cosy. Recommended!
At the moment I'm in St Maarten again, already getting the boat ready for the next guest trip coming up very very soon. Last trip was fun. Had a bunch of adolescent girls that made life interesting. They had fun, we hope, and we had fun, so that's all good. Weather was good, one day it as so hot that when I poured water on the windows they steamed. Literally... That's hot...
One very hot day a few snorkels were dropped overboard, so the "poor" crew had to go off snorkeling to try and find them. During this time when I had to pla.. hum.. work in the water, I saw loads of cool stuff; fish, a huge black starfish with yellow thorns all over, a big shell with its owner looking out at me, followed a turtle for a while (they're quite big), and suddenly, a big, dark brown, SHARK came gliding along the bottom, passed underneath me and after that the boat, and disappeared. My first live shark ever. It was about my length, a bit longer (had to follow it as I could and measure, of course;) and soooo cool.
Got to go with the guests to play paparazzi when they went ziplining. So much fun. Like the local fun fair, but no candy and more of a rush. If you ever get the chance to go sliding from treetop to treetop, do it!
And now I have to get out do do some excersize or something. Cloudy day, so no 40*C today. Jippie!
Kiss kiss, missing you all!
