A swim in Friendship Bay

We sit, slightly cramped, on the sweaty plastic seat-covers, the sweltering red van is slowwwwly filling up. But the Bus-ride to Friendship Bay is a mere Carib$1:50, so: "No complain!"

From the main road there's a near vertical cement road down to the bay. The path along the bay a narrow sand fringe, with the surf rolling right up to the tree trunks. Hope it's high tide!
A swim in the 28 degree water is hardly cooling off, but there's a slight breeze in the circle-round Friendship Bay, a smaller version of "our" Admiralty Bay". A few catamarans are anchored up here. Plenty of elbow room!

We try out the "Friendship Bay Resort"s beach-bar/restaurant. The bar has hanging chairs, swinging in the sea breeze, the surf is lapping at the tables. Almost. The ocean view is through dark beams and palms. Very idyllic. The food is good but not much, but on very big plates. And with a very big view.
