Bahamas

I'm not sure where to even start. A lot has happened in the past week.We are now in the Bahamas, docked at a private island called Sampson Cay. Private island is an understatement, people can't even come dock up and just have a look around, nothing on the island for public at all, no fuel or food besides what's personally brought in for whatever guest is staying on the island. No cars, only golf carts. Only way to get to the island is boat or sea plane. Seven unbelievable pure white sand beaches, only for guests of the owners to enjoy. Good news is we are staying an extra five days after the charter ends and we are considered "guests" of the owner which means we are able to check out then entire island and use all the facilities as guests. One owner to this 36 acre island seems like a bit much but you have a hard time finding ways to spend your money once you become a billionaire it seems.

The owner of this island is also number two of the list of people in the United States for owning the most land all over the world, number one goes to the United States Government. (wrap your head around that one) He owns over 2,000,000 acres of land all over the world. This island is only 36 acres out of 2 million of them. They are only chartering the boat out for three days and six people are staying aboard but they are hosting all meals and meeting aboard with a total of 17 guests. I poured 37 coffees this morning...long morning to say the least.

 Sampson Cay has the most beautiful water I've ever seen. I know I might have said that when I was in the Grenadine islands a few months ago but this water is even more clear almost looks white it's so clear. Teal then a light tint of blue and then white! Hurts your eyes a little bit to look at it when the sun is out. 

 We are docked right where all the sharks nest because of the certain warm current that rips through the bay and back out into the ocean. Our chef dumps small amounts of food into the water for all the fish to eat and it literally is like an aquarium outside our boat. No need to pay anymore to see fish swim around I've seen it all now. We went snorkling on Tuesday and we were literally five feet away from these sharks. There are three big ones around, six or seven feet long, and one baby that's about the size of me. We also saw a sting-ray that was about the size of a dump truck tire around. massive tail on it but just swimming as if there weren't seven people over top of it taking video of it. 

This is me diving to the bottom of the ocean and asking before I went down "Has anyone ever seen a white dolphin?" If you don't know what a white dolphin is, it's the whitest thing in this photo. But you can see the rock in the picture and it's about 15 feet deep here and it looks like it's only 5.

This is one of the sharks swimming around our boat.

Looks like the boat is just sitting in the backyard of someones house.

Two different types of small villas on this island. 

This trip I'm on the early shift meaning I'm the first to get up in the morning normally 5 am to set up breakfast and make sure no guest is the first up and then I'm the first to go to bed around 9:30pm. Kylie the other stewardess yesterday was carrying an entire tray full of very expansive wine glasses (around $200 per glass) to the dinner table, slipped and fell and broke four or five of them and that's my worse nightmare so I'm glad it was her before me. I don't wish it upon anyone but she's been in this industry for awhile I feel as if she has more freedom is breaking $1,000 worth of wine glasses then I do. That has been the only mishap so far, otherwise a good trip and everyone is loving the boat. One more charter after this finishes and we are headed back to Florida for a quick turn around and heading to Europe for the summer.
