SUNDAY FOOTBALL

EVEN THE SUNDAY FOOTBALL IS BETTER ON CAYE CAULKER.  THE PACKERS WON !! A HEART BREAKER FOR THE VIKING FANS, AND ONCE AGAIN WITH BOTH TEAMS ON TV AT THE SAME TIME I FOUND MYSELF WATCHING BRETT FAVRE A LOT MORE THAN THE PACKERS.  I GUESS NEXT WEEK WE WON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM OF WATCHING TWO TV'S AS BRETT RETURNS TO THE HOLY LAND, LAMBEAU FIELD.

WE WATCHED THE GAME AT THE BARRIER REEF SPORTS BAR, "WHERE EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR NAME".  SITTING ACROSS THE BAR FROM US WAS LLOYD, THE BAR OWNER, AND SALLY, OUR LANDLADY.

I WANTED TO COMMENT ON YESTERDAY'S BLOG, BY MARY.  WHEN WE WENT WITH RASS CREEK OUT TO SWIM WITH THE STING RAYS, WE WERE STRAIGHT OUT A MILE FROM CAYE CAULKER RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE BARRIER REEF. 

THE EXPERIENCE OF SWIMMING WITH A DOZEN STING RAYS WAS TRULY REMARKABLE.  RASS ANCHORED THE BOAT IN FOUR AND A HALF FEET OF WATER AND I WAS IN THE WATER WITH MY SNORKEL AND MASK SHORTLY AFTER.

MARY TOOK THE REMARKABLE PICTURES FROM THE BOAT.  AFTER THE CAMERA WAS TUCKED SAFELY AWAY, IT TOOK RASS AND I BOTH TO GET MARY OFF THE BOAT AND INTO THE WATER.  MARY JUST ISN'T COMFORTABLE IN THE WATER, MUCH LESS THE OCEAN.

ALTHOUGH WE DON'T HAVE THE PICTURES TO PROVE IT, MARY ALSO TOUCHED AND SWAM WITH THE STINGRAYS.  UNDERWATER PICTURES WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, BUT.....
