History was made at 4pm on January 5, 2008 when Michael Joseph Baldwin and Anna (I don’t know her other names) got married. We were lucky enough to get to see them this morning and to massage Anna and her mom, who is down from Asheville, NC, believe it or not.

It was a funky day on the north shore. A and B have been staying out at Carambola where the wedding was to be held. While we were massaging them in the little gazebo on the beach, the wind was howling and the seas were tumultuous. It rained and got cold, then the wind stopped and it got really warm. They opened their eyes during the massage and said, “It’s okay if it rains now rather than later”. After that brief shower, it drizzled again at around 2:30 or 3 while we were at the Cane Bay beach bar and then it stayed more or less overcast, which is a good thing because they would have FRIED on the beach in their wedding clothes at that time of day if the sun would have been out.

We wish them all the best!

Wreggie’s “thing”

After the massages, we decided to stay on the beach at Carambola so Michael could do some body surfing. The waves were really rolling in and that’s usually a good place to do it. The tide was low, though, and there wasn’t enough deep water like there usually is right off the beach, so the waves didn’t last long enough for a decent ride. We read our book for a little while and left for Cane Bay when we got hungry. The “Full Moon” beach bar is under new ownership (and now serves breakfast every day!) , so we thought we’d check out the menu. Last time we were there it was not great and it hasn’t changed. Just a few sandwiches, salads and very expensive fried appetizers. We took a picture of Wreggie’s thing and the guy sitting next to us at the bar took a picture of us with Biggie.

Cute!

The bartender was not attentive and generally didn’t seem to care about waiting on us. We sat for 5 or ten minutes waiting for her to ask us what we wanted to drink and whether we wanted to look at a menu. We ordered food and beverages, and when our drinks were empty, she didn’t offer us more. We had to ask. She had no personality and no ambition. We miss Diane and Kelly :(! But it was nice to sit out there watching the beautiful huge waves roll in. We would have liked to go snorkeling, but could tell that the visibility would have sucked. Our food was good. I had a grilled cheese and tomato on rye (it was a toss-up between that and a mahi caesar). I was hungry, so opted for the sammy with (close your eyes, Wreg) curly fries. Michael had a Wilbur and cheese burger with onion rings. I wanted onion rings and he wanted curly fries, but I was undecided and he ordered first, so he made sure we’d have the rings. They were gooooood! Four hours later, I’m still full and am regretting eating all that fatty stuff (I shoulda had the salad…).

We went across the street to the beach and sat reading and watching dogs and kids play in the sand and people and kids playing in the surf. We got a couple of movies to watch tonight. Maybe we’ll just have popcorn and ice cream for dinner.
