SPEED BOATING IN ST KITTS

LETS GO!!! Someone take me back there right now! From the moment we witnessed the amazing sunrise, we knew we were arriving somewhere special. And you know what? We were right.

This place had some of the friendliest people and some of the most picture worthy sceneries we had come across thus far. So how could we top off this day with? Speed boats! But that is not just it, a second surprise came later on which we will talk on the next blog.

READY, SET, GO!

After a quick ride through town we arrived at this amazing beach where we met Theodore, Simon, and Alvin. No I am not kidding, these were really our tour guides. Super funny and eager to show us an amazing time. We wasted no time and after a quick safety talk… We were off!

We were worried it was going to be a calm ride to our snorkeling location, but as soon as we were all on our boats, Alvin told us all to follow them and that’s when they opened up the throttle and we knew it was just about to get crazy!

SUNKEN SHIP DIVE

WOW… We arrived in record time I bet! I’ve never driven a small boat like this, and although extremely bouncy, it was a freaking blast! Now, we arrived at what seemed to be a sunken ship. We were given Snorkeling masks and fins, and we were told to go have fun. YES SIR! You don’t have to tell me twice.

We jumped in to some of the best temperature water to swim ever and immediately began exploring the surroundings.

FISH, TURTLES, AND… BARRACUDAS?!

After swimming around for a while, we started exploring the sunken boat and that’s were a dark figure, sorta hiding, was lurking inside the boat. Quickly, Theodore informed everyone there was a barracuda in there and to make sure we gave it space since they are known to be A-holes as he put it.

We definitely gave it some space and kept on exploring other areas to avoid a fight against Ursula’s A-hole servant. That’s right, I’ve seen the movie and I am not messing with them.

LET’S HAVE A RACE BACK

Well not really… That’s just what I was hoping Alving was going to say. But nonetheless, after a quick lunch break prepared by Simon, we hauled @$$ back to the beach where we originally came from. We were told to stay behind each other and not pass anyone to avoid collisions. But what they didn’t say was that we couldn’t go as fast as we wanted from side to side and jump some waves…

I had warmed up to the controls of the boat and definitely was pushing it a bit. Sadly, as you look at the video, water from the splashing around had hit the camera lense and was only able to salvage some of the footage as most of it was ruined with a huge blurry spot. This was a sad moment for me as I uncovered it later in the afternoon when transferring it to the computer.

So now, as my friends from Hollow Hill say on their song, I want this place to “Stay With Me” and now we have another great excuse to go back to this amazing place and capture more amazing and fun moments around the island of St Kitts!

Also, all music used on these videos will be from local Utah artists. Check them out and show them some love!
