Some of you who know me may wonder why I wanted to go see whales when I had already seen so many whales in the waters of Southeast Alaska? Well, I had never seen sperm whales, and I was really wanting to get out on the ocean here in the Caribbean---this short ocean trip proved to be one of the most pleasurable days so far in my charmed Caribbean life.

| the salty warm breeze, whale sightings, and just being out on the ocean made me so happy---hence the big smile! a big thanks to Tom & Sandy (and Maria) for including me on this delightful day of their vacation here... |
