Beach Day #1 Time to Unplug

St. Martin Bay Rouge beach
Monday 4 May 2015 

Beach day #1. Bay Rouge is a new beach for us that we didn't visit on our first trip. It is literally 2 miles from our condo at NBBC. I think this is the best beach so far. But I'm pretty sure I always say that at every new beach haha. Only a few people here, perfect large cove semi-circle beach. Tropical breeze, beige coarse sand, turquoise water. And my Kindle and iPad haha what else do I need? 


Shouldn't any self-respecting sabbatical start with attempts to unplug? I think so, but free time for me means time to actually be social and get back in touch with the world. So  I want to read the news, Facebook, and blog and such. Unplugging is just not reasonable. Also reading the last of the James Rollin's Blood Gospel trilogy.

There is a strong undertow here, at least today. Just don't fight it and you can swim past it. On the north end (right) of the beach, the rocky point includes a neat arched opening in the rock, called David's Hole. 


A nice guy from Minnesota just took our photo. Yep, he said MinesOAta. 


Venus rented us the chairs for $15 total for the day. Lunch from Justin - Mahi sandwich that was just amazing. Rice with black-eyed peas. Yum!  Fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juice. Dinner was soup and salad (from Simply Grocery)at the condo.
