Tim & Denise Tiner Travels: 2019 January Hunter Cruise - Day 04

Day 4 is here, I'm up, have eaten breakfast and now starting my blog before we do anything. Pretty different. We don't get into port until 11:45 AM to St. Thomas. It has only been a couple months since we've been here. Most of Denise's group will do a zip line excursion. I plan to go with Jeff to do a Snuba excursion where you kind of scuba dive without the tank. You are tethered to a hose that is attached to a boat. Should be interesting. We are to meet at 12:15 on the dock. Ship leaves at 6:30 PM today.

Well, the day was a fun day. It started a bit with Dale having a few issues. But Kami and Denise kind of dealt with them. Being sick is not fun, even though he is not taking his chemo treatments at this time. He is having a fun trip however. So we are glad things are going fairly well.

Jeff and I headed out to Snuba...a cross between snorkeling and scuba diving. It was a lot of fun. We drove about 30 minutes to Coral World. There we were out fitted with a regulator and some weights. We were then taken down to some stairs where we were hooked up to an air line. We were with two other people and our dive master. The max limit they would let u s go down was 20 feet. And you can't get far from anyone as you are all tethered to the same tank of air that is floating in a raft on the surface. Nonetheless, still better than snorkeling as you get to stay under water. There was some pretty large fish and some pretty coral. I was given 15 pounds of weight which got me down just fine.

After diving, Jeff and I sat and visited. Jeff did have one close call. He was putting on his showes and socks and leaned a bit awkwardly on this plastic chair and the darn thing exploded and Jeff went falling to the ground. I was worried that he had hurt himself. But he was ok. That chair really shattered.

Denise and those who went zip lining had a lot of fun too. Denise will have to take a minute to share her thoughts about her day.

In the evening, we kind of went different ways. Some went to their rooms for a bit, others to the game shows that were going on....and so on. A few of us eventually ended up by the 'Swirl' machines playing cards, eating popcorn and being tempted by soft swirl ice cream. It was a very fun day.
