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. |
| sand | snow and ice (that’s a given) |
| 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. |
| Swimming in caves, holding a Brittle Starfish and Sea Urchin – Norman Island | watching Dancing with the Stars |
| Eating, getting a free drink and asked if I wanted a tattoo at Willy T’s – Norman Island | Getting a real tattoo. |
| Having the taxi driver says ‘No problem’ driving us around Virgin Gorda while going to The Baths and Copper Mines. | Having your boss say the day before leaving ‘We have a problem’ |
| Climbing the boulders and taking beautiful pictures at The Baths in Virgin Gorda | Going thru a mountain of paper work |
| Having a Banana Painkiller at Saba Rock | Having a painkiller because I thru my back out from shoveling snow. |

| Having Shane says ‘I have a special surprise’ and taking a walk to the waves at Bubbly Pools – Diamond Clay. I have not seen Mark that happy in a long time riding those waves. 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 |
| Mark sleeping outside under the stars. Me, I have the bed to myself! | Oh know, it’s starting to rain and hearing Shane say in the morning ‘I told you it was going to rain!’ |
