And So We Beat On, Boats Against A Current…

The Ocean Blue

A ramble down the twisting Hell’s Gate descent to Flat Point and the Saba airport, a path I unwittingly took in sandals that ended up with me scrambling and climbing up onto super sharp volcanic rock to see the little blue grottos teaming with life, a miniature ecosystem with aquatic life and teeny crabs and such….so close to the big blue, but so far, I s’pose. Finally, when I walked out of the path onto The Road and began my 1400 foot ascent back up to Windwardside, I noticed the blood streaming down my legs from fine cuts. Perfect! A beautiful day on Saba.

The Auld Rock

Swells, Sharks, and Stingrays

Cranking the picture colors of Saba on this pic taken on the way to diving 100 feet down to the Pinnacles yesterday–fantastic underwater site!–got me this ominous shot of the island to share; I suspect the Auld Rock is picking up the blue water reflections the naked eye doesn’t necessarily see by the bright light of the Caribbean morning sun.

Pictures of stingrays and sharks? Uh, no, not yet, although now that my buoyancy underwater is decent enough to confidently float inches above the reefs to look at the l’il critters and do swim throughs under hanging formations, I’m planning on the logistics of taking pics underwater soon. The dive sites down here have names as cool as their aquatic denizens: 3rd Encounter, Babylon, Hole In The Corner…

More to come…
