Notice anything weird in this shot of our charter boat in English Harbour, Antigua? There’s not a breath of wind. It was kinda crazy being there when the trades had strangely stopped blowing for several days.

We also learned to dive on this trip and I love how nonchalant Caroline is with the regulator coming out of the side of her mouth in this shot. You’d never know that this was our first real, open-water dive. Courtesy of Bill Springer
