There was a time when I would have looked at this picture and only seen a vision of tropical paradise. It has the key elements, sandy beach, lovely water, palm trees, blue skies.
I still see that, but I catch myself immediately also cataloguing the negatives, from a cruiser perspective:
- At low tide, that is a rocky landing beach, hard on the dinghy, feet and the outboard propeller.
- If I’m coming into or leaving the beach at night there are reefs just off the beach to worry about.
- That beach clearly disappears at high tide so I better not plan my beach fire for then.
Weird huh?
This is filed under cruiser problems a.k.a. high class problems…don’t worry, none of those stopped us from thoroughly enjoying ourselves.
Awesome post and perspective....
