jeez, you really know how to make a guy crave the sea again. I remember floating in lagoons at night looking at a black sky filled with stars and thinking why go back stateside, it doesn't get any better than this. That, and having the night preceded with a day of diving, sailing, jet skiing, and BBQ. Fresh ocean fish, nothing like it.

Oh man! Pulling in a 20 pound mahi mahi on the meat hook hand over hand, fillet it on deck and have him for lunch in 15 minutes. Or grabbing lobsters while snorkeling... and on and on. It doesn't get any better! Once I had worked out a "freedom scale", my own.
