Tales from the Qrypt – Life on Deck Prt 2

I sat on the deck and sipped my coffee as we left Bequia behind. It was a lovely day to be alive and I felt nothing but happy and grateful as I took in the breathtaking scenery. We were heading to Tobago Cays but we were not in a hurry, it was about the journey, not the destination.

We baited the long line hoping to catch something tasty for lunch but the only thing we caught was a baby shark which we released. Eddie decided to drop anchor at Mustique and we went snorkeling. The coral reef was truly breathtaking! there were varieties of colorful fish and sea anemones that I had never seen anywhere else before.

My eyes flew open abruptly and  I quickly sat up and looked through the porthole. We were moving! I scooted off the bed and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I could hear the anchor chain rattling as it was being wound up on the winch.  I hurriedly pulled on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and went up the short flight of stairs to the galley.
