This is a really fun blog some guest from last month wrote. It is a list of what they liked during their charter on the Guiding Light and what they could have been doing at home instead. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Celebrating Mark’s retirement on the Guiding Light with Captain Shane and 2 other awesome couples. | Winter storm warning issued and interstate is closed. |

Snorkeling in clear water, seeing beautiful coral, shipwreck, fish and turtles. | seeing white stuff everywhere |
Feeding Tarpon fish at night with their glowing eyes at the back of the boat. | Seeing glowing eyes of deer and wondering if it’s going to run in front of my truck. |

Eating, getting a free drink and asked if I wanted a tattoo at Willy T’s – Norman Island | Getting a real tattoo. |

I was waiting for someone’s swim trucks to fly off. | I’ve got nothing. I’m so teared up thinking about how much Mark enjoying the waves. |
Having Shane cook the most amazing food (my favorite was the Pepper Steaks and fresh bread), buffet at Foxy’s and pizza at Pizza Pi. | Didn’t have time to cook so I’m eating cold fast food |
