We left Saline Bay and sailed around St. Barts to a bay (Colombier Bay) to meet with a scuba diving group who would take us on our final dive of the vacation. We went to a nature preserve where we saw lobster, turtle, coral reef, sharks, barracuda, fish, eel, etc. And, our very nice and helpful dive masters did not require dive cards confirming we knew what we were doing, no signatures on paperwork, no concern for plans or testing equipment or when Matt's air was in the red he received the "every thing's fine" from the dive master. So, it was just fun; with some anxiety for those wondering if there was a plan to this dive. Despite this relaxed approach, it was a wonderful experience.
After the dive our captain took us to his favorite bay: St. Jean Bay, where we swam, played and relaxed.
At the end of the day the captain took us back to Ilse Fourchue to anchor for the evening. We took group pictures, shared favorite memories, and exchanged gifts with our captain and Elena.
All week the Captain had been teaching Matt and others how to operate our sailboat, on the final night, the Captain's gift to Matt was something from the boat to practice his sailing knots:
