No pictures for this blog entry (see previous entry for reason). We headed out from White Bay to Diamond Bay for Foxy's Taboo and the bubbly pool. The bubbly pool is a small shallow ocean-fed pool protected from the sea by large rocks. It's supposed to be filled with bubbles from the frothy waves that make it over the rocks into the pool. But we were at low tide so there were no bubbles -- until it started to rain. Each raindrop hitting the surface of the pool rebounded causing a 3" fountain and a bubble. This was quite a cool effect and we lingered in the warm pool for some time even after it started raining.
Suddenly, the rain increased in intensity and the wind powered up to 37 mph. A fairly intense tropical storm came upon us and the Captain made a decision to leave the area ASAP. The place where we anchored was not the ideal place to ride out a storm if it became more severe. The seas turned very choppy, and the dingy caught some air on the rocky ride back to the boat. When I returned to the boat I immediately pulled up the satellite pics on my laptop to see what was going on. There was a fairly strong tropical storm system, but it was a very small and localized, and luckily it passed by quickly. But there were a few moments of anxiousness there.
We then continued on to Soper's hole at West End. Did some souvenir shopping and had more drinks at Pusser's Landing. As soon as we arrived, there was a song playing about the Painkiller drink. There was a drink on the menu called "Jamaican Me Crazy" and I mentioned this to one of my friends and just then a song called "Jamaican Me Crazy" came on. After that, a song about drinking Pusser's rum came on. Someone mentioned that this place was like a Disneyland for rum drinks. And that's really what this felt like.
The guy sitting next to me in the bar asked if I was the same guy in the pirate costume the other day at Bomba's Shack!
