I finally finagled my way onto a boat this past weekend. Though, to be honest, it wasn’t hard. Between all the sailboat owners and the six or so B-boats to rent, I’m quickly discovering that boating is very popular here. We took a very nice sailboat (30-footer, maybe?) to the nearby island of Bigej (pronounced BEE-gee). However, the wind was uncooperative, so we had to motor the entire way there and back (no wind is referred to as “the doldrums” in sailboat-speak). We met up with another sailboat of people, and spent the majority of the day floating, swimming, snorkeling, shell-hunting, and sunburning – or maybe it was just me. If I had this day to do over again, I’d only ask for more wind and more sunscreen, but besides that, it was perfect!
