Valentine's Day

Red Shanks (February 14-February 19, 2013)

As we feel couples truly in love find it natural to tell each other "I Love You" many times everyday, neither of us buys into Valentine's Day, what we deem a Hallmark Holiday created as a marketing strategy merely to boost sales and force men to rush to the corner store after work to thoughtlessly grab a bunch of flowers, candy and a card before wearily arriving home only to worry have they done enough.  

On this Valentine's Day, I felt Jim was up for some much deserved extra TLC so I put an extra unexpected loving touch to his lunch and served him heart shaped sandwiches with a salad and cookies.
 
 

The little things in life make it special
Most of our time at Red Shank's was spent in the water, snorkeling.  Close to shore we came upon a large area of beautiful coral, fish and other marine life.  It is quite amazing to be surprised with such beauty.

We would have liked to have spent more time at Red Shank's; however, we were merely waiting for a weather window in which to head to Rum Cay.

Accordingly, as soon as the weather improved, we pulled anchor and headed back up Elizabeth Harbour to Kidd Cove for a day to provision and continue our journey.

    We couldn't agree with you more!! We came to the same conclusion! There is nothing special about an expression of affection when it is expected. Good job feeding Jimbo right! I am sure he has gotten through his ice cream withdrawls by now. lol
