Crash Boat Beach here we come....
It was a 20 minute drive to the beach. Mike had read in a magazine that Crash Boat was one of the Top 10 beaches to visit in the Caribbean. When we researched it on the internet, we read that it was one of the beaches that has the clearest blue water and the whitest sand. We were very excited about visiting the beach. We arrived around 9:15 in the morning and found the perfect spot on the beach. I was very surprised to see that the beach was already as crowded as it was. The beach continued to fill up with lots of people in a very short amount of time. The water was exactly as it was described. It was absolutely beautiful. We stayed at the beach for about 3 hours. I had left my snorkel and mask back at the house but Mike remembered his so he went out in the water and snorkled for about 45 minutes. We would have gone back to get my gear but we were afraid that when we got back, we wouldn't be able to find a parking space. It's almost hard to describe how crazy packed it was. The water started to fill with lots of people that all you could see when you looked out into the water were tiny black dots. It was even difficult for me to spot Mike when he was out snorkeling. I hate to admit it, but I got a little nervous sitting there all by myself surrounded by tons and tons of people.
We left Crashboat around 1:00 in the afternoon. The skies were beginning to look dark and a little bit scary again so we ended up leaving the beach. Mike had me take pictures of the sky as we headed back home because it was so dark. The pictures don't really show how dark it was but I don't believe that I've ever been in skies like these. It was very scary but all it brought was heavy rain.
We were basically "trapped" in the house the rest of the afternoon and evening because the rain was so heavy. Mike called it a monsoon because it came down so hard and for so long. He ended up reading his Einstein book on the patio in the rain while I stayed inside and watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. (I knew bringing some movies would come in handy!)
