Sasha, on the other hand, posed for pictures then knelt down on the thing to keep it from sliding around and got our lure back. (thank goodness for boys)
The other popular way to endanger your little fingers?? Finger food of course :) We've been doing spring rolls on the boat ever since our friend Nancy mentioned it. They are a great way to clean out the veg shelf -- and they're within the healthy diet! 
We do the rolls as a create your own and we've not met a guest who has not loved it!
Tara and Sasha~ I've just seen your blog! It's sensational! I am envious of your relaxed lifestyle and hope you're soaking up every beautiful sunrise and sunset and everything in between! I'm curious about your fear of barracuda? Have you had some horrifying experience? I know you have been swimming with sharks and thought that was pretty cool. Please explain...While on Eluthera, Bahamas this winter I was snorkeling by myself and an inquisitive barracuda approached me... I freaked out and got back to shore as fast as my fins would take me! I told several people about my experience and everyone said barracuda won't hurt you...true or false?
ReplyDeleteLove to both! Aunt Pat
Hi Aunt Pat!! Barracuda usually leave people well enough alone. I've never had a bad run in, but as a friend of mine put it " Barracuda don't bite, but if they do it's about 200 stitches". Humm... food for thought.
ReplyDeleteTo make your own spring rolls:
ReplyDeleteRice paper sheets

1 cucumber (seeded & sliced into strips), 1 carrot (use a peeler to make ribbons & soak in lemon juice all morning), 1 avocado sliced, rice noodles are optional, fresh mint, basil, cilantro, butter lettuce, mango sliced, garlic diced, white & Black sesame seeds, ground peanuts. For meat I have been using either leftover jerk chicken or spicy hoisin chicken.
