I woke up this morning with butterflies in my stomach.  We were going or a full day of sailing and I’m notorious for getting seasick on the calmest water (i.e. Monterey Bay on a kayak).  Anyway, I took some Dramamine, had some toast and coffee for breakfast, and boarded a 50-foot sailboat.  It was such a calm day that we had to use a motor to get to the three dive sites.  But I was still waiting for the queasiness to start.  But it didn’t!

On the first stop, we saw a bunch of coral and fishies.  Jesse also got a photo of a manatee that was hanging around under our boat.  On our second stop, we wandered Hol Chan Marine Reserve with our guide.  Jes dove 30 feet thought a cave and we saw a turtle!!  On the third stop, we swam with nurse sharks, sting rays (I touched one), and more fishies.

After the third stop, we had some decent wind and finally got to sail back to shore.  We got a nice shady spot on top of the boat, drank rum punch, listened to some groovy reggae music, and chatted with a guy from London.  By the end of the trip, we all had sunburned shoulders, and I was still standing!!  The only hiccup of the day was after the first stop.  It was nothing really.  I wasn’t even nauseous.  I spit-up a mouthful in the cup, threw it overboard, and went on with my day with not even an inkling of nausea.  Woo hoo!!!  Thank goodness for Dramamine!!  One more thing…underwater camera didn’t leak or die!!
