We did the shoot at Island Thyme and had a pretty good idea the pictures were going to be fun. We weren’t disappointed. So we spent the heat of the day working on the editing until it was time to go diving.

Late afternoon, Sandi, Marilyn and myself went diving with Zoltan to Shark’s Point and had a great time getting our gear wet finally.

Then we came in, got Deb and the rest of the gang and went out for a Girl’s Day on the water. They snorkeled and Sandi and I dove Power House. What a great dive! A good size turtle seemed happy to swim with just two friendly women not chasing him with a camera. Then a Spotted Moray thought we should be patrolled for a little while. All the while two barracuda’s accompanied us out and back.

Under the boat Sandi spotted a huge, Green Moray in the rock pile. Deb says he is about 8 feet long. I do not doubt that. His head is at least a foot high. When he opens his mouth (I think of it as hissing at me) he is huge. What a profile! His tail alone was intimidating. I did not pull it either.

We closed the day with a dinner at Island Thyme and showing our pictures of Coconut Shrimp and Chef John. You have to buy a cookbook though to see the pictures. It should be out in October as I understand it.
Of course we drank and partied far too hard for our own good.

As we turned out the lights Sandi said, from her little bed on the couch, what a great day it was. It felt like a Walton’s good night, it was such a great day.

Then Sunday has to happen. Sandi left. The washer was pronounced deceased by Lucien. Maria moved out of the Mt. Pleasant as the new owners come to take over. It was hot, the weather was here and I still wasn’t beautiful. And it wasn’t noon yet. I took a nap but it was fitful.

When all was said and done, Sunday wasn’t all that bad. It’s all relative. No one can take Saturday away from me or Sandi. It was as good as a day gets.
