On Saturday evening of our trip, Robin had booked us passage on the
Schooner Jolly II Rover for a sunset sail.
 |
| The bar at the Conch Republic Seafood Company...where we awaited our time to board. |
 |
| Aye, Matey...we were sailing under the pirate flag! |
 |
| My two partners in crime, er traveling buddies. |
 |
| Our Captain climbing the mast |
 |
| Yes, he was UP THERE! |
 |
| Some of the crew at work...they let the passengers try their hands at hoisting the sails. |
 |
| The haze in the sky was caused by the burning of the fields in Cuba -- 90 miles away. |
 |
| Stacy took her turn as First Mate |
 |
| Isn't this gorgeous? |
 |
| My favorite picture: the sun set framing the other sail boat |
 |
| We even got to fire our cannons at them! |
 |
| Sunset on the water...breathtaking! |
Unfortunately for us, the winds were non-existent for most of our time on the water, so we didn't really get to feel the breeze on our face. We had to option of sailing again on a different day for free, but our time was running out. The crew was fantastic and we had a lot of fun...despite the weather.

I think sailing would have been my favorite part of the trip. It looks so serene; a nice place to take a nap if you could stop looking at the scenery long enough to close your eyes.
