The Cruise - Day 6 and It Smells Like Bacon Frying

Husband and I noticed an alarming number of people with extremely bad sunburns who continue to spend enormous amounts of time in the sun without protection. I thought that in the spirit of the Hairy Chest Contest, perhaps the ship could host a contest for the Worst Sunburn. Husband suggested that the winner could get a hearty slap on the back.

Anyway, Husband and I had a lovely morning driving around St. Martin/St. Maarten with Parent-in-Laws and BiLG while B-i-L went Power Snorkeling. In the afternoon, Husband and I had an inflatable motorboat outing and snorkeling adventure. I was pleased by all the cute fish I saw. Husband didn’t see squat because he refuses to wear contacts and glasses do not fit into goggles. Too bad for him.

Tomorrow we are heading back to the good old U.S. of A. (Gag.) We’ll be in San Juan, Puerto Rico for a whopping 8 hours. That probably makes sense, since clearly there would be nothing of value to observe and experience in a cultureless place like Puerto Rico. Yeah. Whatever.

  1. Isn't snorkeling incredibly relaxing? My stupid dad sometimes insisted that my sister and I take rolls of bread from breakfast and bring them snorkeling to attract more fish. Although it does work, the fish off Mexico are incredibly agressive and start to bite my sister all over trying to get more bread. She started screaming in the water that she was being eaten alive, much to my delight. She actually had little marks on her when she got out of the water, then I felt sorry for her.

    I'm glad to hear about all the stupid idiots not wearing sunscreen. What does it take for these stupid fuckers to put on a little sunscreen on? Pale is cool. Enough ranting, this means I can stay unemployed for a wee bit longer. (OK, I'm unemployable, I know).

  2. Did you take any pictures of the fish? Or the horribly sunburned people? I mean you have to bring back something we can laugh and admire at...

  3. Please note that I do not wear contact lenses because they are scary. First, they require touching your eyeball. If you are not careful, your finger can poke right through, causing blindness, and possible touching your brain, resulting in (further) dementia. Even if you are fairly diligent in handling the lenses, they can still slip into the back of your eye socket, requiring surgery to get them out. Given that I had an uncle who once had to go to a hospital to get his eyes uncrosses (yes, its true, if you hold it too long, they can stay that way), I don't take chances with eyeballs.
