The boat

So on Thursday afternoon me, Andy, Andy’s mom, Barona and Eric hired a boat to take us on a half day trip to some of the smaller outer islands… so we wait about 25 minutes for the captain of the boat to get there…now I call him the captain but I think that it is really his first time even being on a boat.. He has to go and swim out to his boat that is anchored about 75 feet from the shore and he doesn’t even have to swim most of the way out to it because it is so shallow…but so here comes the captain with the biggest and brightest life jacket that I have ever scene…and the second that he hits the water he is off to the worst doggy paddle ever… so we all look at each other and are like that’s the driver of the boat he cant even swim.. and he don’t even have to swim he can just walk almost all the way out to the boat….so we all got a good laugh at that.. Well we get on the boat and away we go.. Driving at ¼ knot because the boat engines where 2 weed whacker motors with propellers on the end of them and they were deafening.. So all they do is just ride us around different islands for about a hour and a half till we cant take it anymore and Eric points to a island and tell them to take us there…so we get off the boat and go for a swim and find out that you can go to the other side of the island and the beach is nicer.. so we hike through the malaria filled jungle and come out to a nice bay that has about 10 bungalows and a small bar restaurant right on the water that you can rent for 10 dollars a night…I would have stayed but had nothing to wear but wet cloths and the sun was about to set so would really not be able to do much but just sit in the dark… so I decided not to stay…At first we where really down about the boat trip but finding the beach and having a sun set cruise back to the hotel made it all worth it….(even though we where all deaf from the boat engine for the rest of the night)
