After meeting Captain Jack (yes, his real name) and first mate Sarah, we were given the option of going straight out to the sandbar or we could be given a quick tour of the large, waterfront houses that dotted the shoreline. We chose the latter, and Jack knew lots of info and gave us lots of great stories. We then headed out to the sandbar and anchored amongst the other boats (about 30-40). There was lots of room to store our gear and plenty of ice onboard for our drinks and snacks. The water was warm and came up to about chest high when we got in. It was fun to wander in the surf, sip a beverage, and talk to all of the people mingling around the sandbar. The different boats were also fun to look at. We even saw a few rays gliding by in the surf! Jack and Sarah were also very conscious of litter or plastic floating around in the water (as it is a danger to wildlife), and they would stop and fish it out of the surf on the way in and out. We later saw Jack and Sarah on the restaurant deck where we had lunch (Hog Heaven), and he stopped by again to check on us and answer any questions - even getting us a 10% discount on our meal. A great, relaxing day on the water with two fantastic hosts. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
