We had a few things on the agenda today, and when I say “we,” that actually means “I.” Being the unofficial tour guide, I do most of the planning; so Rich gets to be surprised. When I say “surprised,” I actually mean “dragged around.” Rich is a good sport about it, though, and gets to reap the benefits when the places I choose turn out to be gems. Occasionally, though, I have a miss, in which case I get ribbed about it endlessly. (I’m still hearing about the Seattle bed and breakfast fiasco of 1995).
The first thing on the agenda today was to take our dinghy into Torrent Bay’s lagoon. We had to make sure to time this well because what appears as a lake at high tide gets completely dried out at low tide. (This is of particular concern to hikers who have to take a longer route if there’s water in the lagoon.) It was a beautiful day, it was high tide and it was time to head over there.
We entered the lagoon and began to make our way around near the shore. It was heavily forested, with numerous small rocky coves with pretty green water. If we hadn’t just seen Falls River and Frenchmans Bay, we would have considered this gorgeous, but after those two, it was relegated to the “really nice” category. Below, a few photos from our dinghy ride (click to enlarge/scroll).–Cyndi
