Day 5:
Our day was scheduled for a tour operated by Ocean Outback Adventure Cruise. The cruise consisted of visiting the southwest corners of the island, ending with Bonefish Island, an unmanned island with seemingly never ending white sandy beaches, scattered conch, and lots of warm, clear waters. The tour was carried out with a slight twisted sense of humor, including the captain dressing up as a long lost pirate.  Captain Bill has been operating the tour for nearly 20 years.  And because this is the off season, we were able to take advantage of the large boat just amongst the 14 of us.  This tour is definitely recommended.

We ended the night with a casual dinner at the Beach Café.

Day 6:
Our excursion today consisted of a trip on the northeastern side of the island.  We set sail on Sail Provo from Leeward and visited the iguanas on the Little Water Cay.  This was followed by snorkeling and lunch on an unmanned island.  This was altogether a day of getting a tan and enjoying the beautiful scenery on the open waters.

By this day, we had heard enough of Jimmy Buffet about eating cheeseburgers in paradise, being a pirate 200 years too late, and waiting for his girl on a long four day weekend.  Why do captains on island excursions like Jimmy Buffet so much?  Enough said.

We finished the night with a dinner at the Terrace at the Aqua Bar
