Caribbean Poker Classic Blog - Day 2  -  By Poker Boss

Its catamaran time! Everyone boarded the bus and we made our way to the boarding area.
Docked near a shore to do a bit of snorkelling and fish watching (that just doesn't sound the right phrase). We were warned by the hosts not to 'touch, stand or lick the rocks, due to the presence of sea urchins'. Good advice, duly noted. Nat claimed she was busy looking after the William Hill Team to come snorkelling although a couple of people heard her asking the reps if there were any jellyfish or sharks present. There weren't. Ken didn't hesitate though, jumping in accompanied by a tight fitting yellow life vest...what a sight.

Landed at Nevis, it's such a lovely island. We were greeted by the locals and treated to refreshments and a traditional Caribbean BBQ, which was delicious but you really shouldn't attempt to swim after 3 portions of barbeque chicken and 4 homemade chocolate brownies.

FINALLY got Nat into the water, she was persuaded to don a life jacket and get on the back of a jet ski. We could literally her screaming from the shore (IN FACT YOU PROBABLY HEARD HER BACK HOME TOO). She did really well to cling on and only fell off once. Her exit from the sea was very unlike the Ursula Andrews scene and resembled more of a drowned rat stumbling out of the water.

Man over board! There was plenty jet ski action going on throughout that day and Poker Assistant Manager James McKay braved the BANANA boat. It capsized about 12 times in the half an hour they were out there. I think the boat driver was one more 'man over board' from leaving them stranded!

After finally drying off we jumped back on the boat and danced and sang all the way back to St Kitts.

Looking forward to the tournament tonight and the Marriott's Steak and Lobster treat, so will post more tomorrow.
