A swim in the park

 

Yes my dear Friends,

Not a typing error, indeed a swim in the park… In Moliniere Point, (Grenada) is an underwater sculpture park, created by Jason Decaires Taylor.(http://www.underwatersculpture.com/)

Most pieces are at between 4-5 meters depth placed on open sand patches in between the corrals.

It is fun to discover, whilst snorkelling,  the various locations, and the first was the full circle of women and men (true scale), hand in hand looking outward…. , mysterious, powerful in a certain way.

Different emotions, and shocking even, at the site with naked corpses spread out over the clear sand patch… first I thought it was something else…

Schools of fish swimming around the sculptures, and then the mandatory mermaid (of course), then a bench, and another circle of smaller men like figures, also hand in hand facing out, but this one was deeper, older and already kind of damaged, but still awesome to look at.

It was a great weekend in Grenada.

Have a great week!

Cave Man


Dear Friends,
What else can you do when the sun is out, the water pristine clear and thousand shades of blue… yes, of course went to snorkel for a while in Little Bay, Montserrat. The waves make small caves, and just wanted to share those pictures with you…

More updates to follow, Guadeloupe, Les Saints etc etc…
So much to see, in so little (life) time…
Take care

Today's backyard

Since we had a cute 12 years old boy onboard (and we miss you kid!) who used to wake up at 5:30am, I'm now enjoying very much to wake up very early. So here are some pictures of our today's backyard at sunrise.


Today's yard is Ilha de Itanhangua, Angra dos Reis - RJ, about 6:15am.




 Then I found a little dog at the beach... Could he be mine? Nope, he's already someone else's angel.


And a dead dolphin... sorry about that, so sad.


 Big starfish.


And to be complete, the snorkeling collecting garbage, plus a land expedition.

Carpe diem and have a good day!
