Wayward Winds, Snake Sightings, and Other Peculiarities (7.19.12)

Some peculiar happenings occurred on our trip with the Sandersons. The first was that tropical ridge (you know, that weather condition we'd never heard of before??) that brought with it some really wacky winds.  On our way up to Bitter End we tacked over and over again, but the wind would shift right in front of us, bewildering the captain and crew.  Talk about inhospitable conditions for sailing!

The second was a series of snake sightings that occurred back to back--the first of which was when we we were waiting outside the bath houses on the stone wall by the pool. We'd never seen a snake in the islands before, but, there was one in the tree right next to us. Lloyd, completely amused, could only blame Todd for these rarities.



From that point on, we did notice a growing affection for Todd from the sea life around here.  I'd say that's a little peculiar.
