Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

On Wednesday, Martin, Mitchell and I went on an AMAZING boat tour. The tour consisted of going out into the ocean on a huge charter. Going snorkeling, jet skiing, kayaking, waterskiing, yolo boarding, parasailing, wave surfing, unlimited drinks from 3:30 to 4:00, a sunset cruise from 5:00 to 7:00 with unlimited drinks.  Basically, this boat tour could be equated with heaven, I presume.

And due to the cold weather, no one else seemed to take up this great deal. So - we got an entire boat and all its ammenities for 5 people. Let me repeat that. 5 people.  Me, Martin, Mitchell, and a father and son (Chris and Jon).

They take 130 people on this tour. At that point, it might not be worth it.

But with only five - we had our free run of everything. We didn't have to wait at all. for anything. It was like having out own charter boat. Like we were rich and famous. There were four crew members and five guests!

So we spent the day snorkeling (we saw fish, an eel and a Dolphin! - the dolphin swam right under Martin's canoe!), kayaking, yolo boarding (which I now love), attempting to windsurf (that was an epic fail *but I, at least, could stay up on the board - I just couldn't get it to go anywhere. Mitchell had trouble with just the whole standing and balance part of it), jetskiing, waterskiing, tubing, parasailing. I don't have any pictures of this because I was too busy snorkeling, kayaking, yolo boarding, windsurfing, jetskiing, waterskiing, tubing, and parasailing.

Then, on the way back into shore the unlimited drinks started. Matt, the crewmember and bartender thought Mitchell was 21. He was basically in his glory. Look at that smile!

We got back into dock at 4:00, raced to the hotel to wash the salt off our bodies and then ran back to catch the boat again for the sunset cruise.

This time there was a lot of people on the boat and a DJ, so it was a great way to enjoy the sunset. Especially with the unlimited drinks.

Martin, who can make friends with anyone in about 25 seconds, met a guy from wisconsin.

And I had fun tearing up the dance floor with a few girls.

Mitchell was just really happy to be "21"

As the night wore on, we all got a little tipsy.

Exhibit A of our tipsiness: Mitchell suggested and offered to take a picture of Martin and I kissing in the sunset. On top of that, Martin eagerly agreed to participate. My willingness to participate had absolutely nothing  to do with inebriation.

Then, a fellow sunset boater noticed our obvious love of life(and also probably my incesssant need to take 1000 pictures) and offered to snap a shot of all of us.

After snapping two pictures, he handed the camera back to me saying, "Not bad for being half in the bag" That would be Exhibit B

Oh, and then there was the fact that Martin felt it was competely neccesary to yell to all the tourists watching the sunset on shore every time we sailed past. It's worth every penny! Unlimited Drinks" and then immediately afterward he would run to tell Captain Greg how much business he was bringing him. Exhibit C.
