the view from my room
…awoke to golden sunlight streaming in the window. Light quick breakfast then piled in the open taxi with the gang…headed to the dock…boarded a boat and set off. Surrounded by every shade of blue imaginable. Struck by the thought of painting…recorded the colors in my mind, wished I could capture the feeling of wind on my face and the salty spray cooling my skin. A day of island hopping. A trip through the bathes on Virgin Gorda…snorkeling among the gigantic boulders. Treated to seeing some squid with their iridescent dots of light…huge fish…good enough to eat. The next island…lunch, chicken roti with mango chutney…yum. Final stop anchored in a little bay to snorkel…hugged the rocky shore and found a little magic cave full of colorful rocks. The current was too strong to enter the two foot opening. I had to tread water outside and look in. The inner sanctum of Mami Wata protected by the currents…but at least I could peer in if not enter.
Entirely too exhausted to write more tonight. Did some work-work tonight after roof top yoga and a sumptuous dinner. Want to get up early for a swim. Looking forward to my dreams tonight. My body is still rocking from the day on the sea as I write this.
