On our last day in Vieques, we rented a kayak (strapped to the top of the jeep) plus snorkeling gear and headed to the farthest beach on the Caribbean side of the island, La Plata, or Silver Beach. Our two sons set out on the open water for an unknown destination in the middle of the sea, out of sight, but NOT out of mind. (We were a bit worried.)
It was hard to rest and relax in the hammock and enjoy this view.
To occupy myself, I swam over to La Platita beach, where they have rocks stacked as a decoration.
The boys finally made it back, excited about the fantastic snorkeling location they’d found. After being reassured by my eldest that I wouldn’t have any problems in the open sea, I went kayaking/snorkeling! Of course, HE is the one that did all the hard work paddling! And we did make it back safely.
This is the last post on Vieques, but coming up soon – San Juan, Puerto Rico!
Wow, what beautiful water. Glad you had such a nice time with your family. Looking forward to the next post! June
Thanks June and Jennifer! And Auriel, you described the water beautifully! Maybe someday I can go to Fiji!
Awesome adventures – great blog!
Wow – how lovely, the water is glistening – sparkling – wonderful God’s creation.
It maybe even better then Fiji, but we never got to all the Islands.
Enjoy while you can, Auriel
