The Best Day of Aiden's Life

Meena's house from our porch (red roof)
Meena is our neighbour who has been on vacation from her job as a hostess for CaribCat, well the boats are out of dry dock and Meena invited us to join her for a 4 hour snorkeling tour. Meena moved to Canada when she was three with her parents and spent 13 year there before coming back to the island to stay permanently.

This is the low season so we have had time to get to know her but as the season starts she could be working three cruises a day. She is absolutely the perfect person to host a cruise, fun, engaging and an amazing skin diver!

Margret and Dave from Carrying Place
We headed out to snorkel at Flamingo Bay, on the "small cat" that seats about 40. We first plunked ourselves down on the nside of the cat but then realized we should move to the shade. We joined another couple who were staying at the Raddison, who live in Carrying Place! This is a small town just outside of Trenton where we work! Of all the cruises what are the chances of sitting next to a couple from just down the road? Definitely a small world.

Unfortunately the skies turned from beautiful blue to grey and rainy so the snorkeling was a bit more challenging as visibility was limited but we still saw lots of beautiful fish. The reef also had some beautiful fan like coral. Next we moved to the sculpture garden. It is truly amazing. Huge. You definitely want a guide or you would miss some of the sculptures. I recommend MEENA!!
