I LOVE this island!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... the most remote beautiful beaches I have ever seen. We also had lunch at my favorite beach bar, the Margaritavilla. I was here 11 years ago and fell in love with this bar. It was hard to find but, so worth it. I never thought that letting Barron walk around carrying a coconut would hurt him but, a crab crawled out of it and bit him on the thumb. He went ballistic.

... bow lowering the anchor and can let me know whether to put the engine in forward or reverse or idle.
