Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Hello All,
I thought I would write today and tell everyone at home that I hope they had a good turkey day. They don't celibrate that here so it was basically just another day. We ended up staying one more day here because the weather was rain and overcast. Here in the lagoon it is full of hazards and not all are marked so you need good sun light to navigate. You can see the shallow areas with the sun overhead or behind because of the water color. Light green water is shallow and just green is ok, blue is best and deep. We will try to leave again tomorrow.
Yesterday Paula and Rafal got back just before dark from their adventure to the resort across from us. They said the snorkeling was the best they have seen, seeing octopus, swimming with dolphins and many more creators. They found the resort staff to be very friendly and showed them where the best spots were. At the time they were there the management told them that the whole place was rented by some American doctors on a diving holiday. When they are not diving and having fun they were donating there time to a dozen hospitals in the area helping local staff with all of the aliments of the villagers. We thought that was very kind of them to do that, so Paula and Rafal returned very sore after going 10 miles round trip but they had a great time.
After we figured out we were not going anywhere today we went to the village where 2 of the young men that have been out to the boat a few times showed us around. They explained their culture to us in great detail and showed us a sacred area where the ancestors used to cut up there dead enemies. We even got to see some old skulls and other old body parts. It doesn't sound very good writing that but with the explanation made it much easier to handle.
We will try to leave again in the morning after we go in and say goodbye to the village. They have invited us in for breakfast. They are Seventh Day Adventists here, so tomorrow, Saturday, is there day to worship.
I will let you know what happens.

P.S. Rick sent this yesterday (11-24-2011)

PEACE
