Adam set out with his detector and began working the beach. He was ecstatic to be finding a ton of coins on land, but kept hoping for the jewelry, of course. I spent some time on a beach chair soaking up some sun and reading first, then decided to get in and try some snorkeling. On both sides of the bay there were rocks, which is where I knew the snorkeling would be better, so I tried the right side first. It was okay, but I was disappointed because I had been hoping it would be better. When we came to St. Thomas for the day on our cruise, the snorkeling had been awesome, but that was at a different beach. I guess I expected it to be like that everywhere that someone said it was good snorkeling.
So I read a bit more and then Adam came over and dropped something on my lap... a beautiful, twisting silver pendant with three amber stones of varying shades in it! Very pretty, I loved it, as I love amber. He then did something he never does - gave it to me! yay! Now I have a pretty amber necklace with special meaning from Adam, from St. Thomas!
A little later, I got back in the water and tried the left side and was relieved to find it was much better over there. Still not quite what I had hoped for, but very good. And the bay was calm, so that made swimming easy. I got out and read/tanned some more, then Adam wanted to snorkel with me so I got in again and took him to the good spots on the left side. We were out there for a long time and went further and deeper than I did the first time - it was really fun to be out there swimming with the fish together!
That night was our first dinner in. It was kind of nice to end the day just showering and relaxing. I made a simple dinner and we curled up to watch the Rays game on ESPN (they lost to the Yankees). I was in the middle of a great book I couldn't put down, so I stayed up later and read after Adam went to sleep. A great, relaxing and fun day!
