So after a brisk sail, and getting all crew engaged, we arrive at "Cistern Point" on Cooper Island….one of our favorite "water fun places"….snorkeling and paddle boards and more!!  Everyone got in the action on paddle boards….sitting, kneeling, or standing…and "Hurley" did it with a very short paddle (meant for kneeling).  Then into Cooper Island Beach Resort for dinner, followed by a visit at the "Rhum Bar".  They are working toward the "record number of rums in one bar in the Caribbean"…and they are well on their way.  If you look at the family photo and see the 3rd from right on the top shelf  (yes, "top shelf" is the most expensive)…lantern, then rum bottle, then round box with 80% white looking label, you will see "Diplomatico"….this is the Venezuelan rum which is the top ingredient for an "Arbella"….but we can never get it!  Why that rum, and what is in an "Arbella"?…well that's another story….and on the adventure goes!
