Chapter Nine: Close Quarters

“She agreed to meet for drinks,” Tommy declared as he entered the crew mess after the charter guests deboarded, his fit body vibrating with excitement. He stole half of the sandwich you just made with a cheeky grin before sliding in next to you at the table.

“Oy!” You slapped his hand too late; he already shoved it in his fat gob. “Bloody fucking menace. Did you annoy her to death, so she agreed just to get you to go away?”

He turned puppy dog eyes on you, so like his brother, and pouted. It must be a Miller family trait to have perfected that look. Sarah was just as good at it, too. “Rude.”

You laughed, bumping his shoulder playfully. He annoyed you like an older sibling, and you got over it just as quickly. “So, Maria is sticking around for a bit? Where are you going to take her?”

Tommy ran a hand through his long, dark hair. “Yeah, she’s staying in San Juan for another few days. I’m thinking Caribar at Caribe Hilton. I need to impress her.”

Your eyes widened. That was an upscale resort with expensive food and drinks. He was going all out for this woman. “Wow. I’m sure she’ll love it.”

His hands suddenly began fidgeting. “I haven’t taken dating seriously in a real long time. And she’s unlike anyone I have dated before. She’s way outta my league. I’m scared shitless,” Tommy admitted. Turning desperate eyes on you, he added, “Would you and Joel come along? Make it a double date kinda thing? I’ll be less nervous that way.”

You weren’t sure it was a great idea, but Tommy looked like a nervous little boy at the thought of going on an actual date without some type of backup. “Are you sure you want us there? It won’t cramp your style?”

“Please? You can leave whenever you want, just be there to help get the conversation flowing until I get comfortable. Or drunk. Whichever happens first, I guess.”

Shrugging, you tilted your chin toward the upper decks. “Let me run it by Joel, I guess. I’m not sure if he’s ready to put our relationship out there like that yet. And going on a double date with you and Maria would definitely put it out there.”

“I already ran it by him – he’s ok with it if you are.”

There went any excuse you could have thought of. If Joel was okay with it, how could you ever say no. You felt giddy at just the thought of going on a double date with him. That one night in the hotel being the closest thing you’ve had to a date in far too long. “That settles it. We’re going on a double date! Just keep it on the down low amongst the crew, yeah?”

“Keep what on the down low?” Sarah chimed in as she entered the crew mess for a snack. Each of you should have been doing work to turnover the boat for the next charter, but it seemed like everyone was feeling a bit peckish.

Tommy glanced at you and winked. “I asked Maria out and she said yes.” Sarah screeched in response, throwing her arms around Tommy. “That’s great! Where are you taking her? Tell me everything!”

You left the two of them to gush over Tommy’s plans and made your way up to the main deck to see what needed done still. The next couple of hours passed in a flash, the washdown keeping you busy. Joel held you back after the tip meeting – the guests left a huge tip after your heroic actions.

“Did Tommy talk to you?” His voice rough like sandpaper on fresh cut wood, causing a delightful chill to wash down your back.

“Mmhmm. You sure you want to do this?”

You held yourself back from reaching for him – it was torture, but you stayed strong. Joel glanced around the main salon confirming that it was empty but for the two of you. His head dipped, closing the distance between you, and placed a chaste kiss on your lips.

“Yes, I’m sure.” A mischievous look flashed in his dark eyes, and he swatted your ass before departing for the bridge, leaving you giggling like a lovesick teen as you made your way below deck. Your phone buzzed in your pocket. Pulling it out, you giggled at the text from Joel.

JM: We’re going on a date!

By the time you showered and readied yourself for a nice evening out, the news of Tommy’s date – and your and Joel’s roles in it – was old news to the rest of the crew. Talia eyed you knowingly, her mysterious and quiet nature made you believe she saw a lot more than she let on. Sarah and Tess teased you, true to form. Jake just looked at you blankly, leaving you wondering if he was jealous.

“Make sure he pays!” Sarah demanded. “Do not take your wallet out under any circumstances.”

She was so adamant that her dad better treat you well that it left you with an aching belly from laughing so hard.

“I’m serious! He’s got it in his head that he’s a feminist and I’m afraid he thinks that means women should pay their own way. DO NOT let him get away with that, not on a Captain’s salary. You hear me?”

Your hands flew up in surrender, eyes wide at her earnest tone. “Understood. He pays. No exceptions.”

Satisfied, Sarah changed the conversation to compliment your choice in attire. You opted for the classiest dress you packed, a form fitting but not indecent black number that you had tucked away in your closet for years. It was definitely your go-to little black dress and it had been severely under-utilized for the past couple of years. You paired the dress with strappy heels – nothing too high, you didn’t want to break an ankle – and your long hair flowed over your shoulders in natural, beachy waves. Your makeup was subtle and classy, just a hint of color on your eyelids and lips to accentuate your tanned skin, a definite benefit of working outside.

“You look gorgeous,” Tess said as you did one last spin for them.

“Yeah, Dad’s gonna stumble all over his words when he sees you,” Sarah added, hugging you.

You blushed, picturing Joel staring at you in adoration, complimenting you with a nervous hitch in his deep, rumbling voice. Damn, arousal already built in your lower belly at just the thought. You were in for a delightfully torturous evening.

“Have I mentioned how beautiful you look tonight?” Joel breathed in your ear as you followed Tommy into the resort. “I’m going to have a hard time keeping my hands off you at the table.”

“Who said you had to?” you teased in return, enjoying the warmth of his hand at your back. “And yes, you have, but please don’t stop. You look sinfully gorgeous tonight as well.”

Joel grinned, dark eyes twinkling behind thick framed glasses, his lush curls artfully falling into place atop his head. Your fingers ached to run through them, twist them around your slim digits. Part of you longed to dash away, get a room, and keep Joel to yourself for the night. But one glance at Tommy’s anxious smile, dark eyes scanning the outdoor tables in search of Maria, and you knew the pair of you would never be able to sneak away.

“Ah, there she is!” Tommy exclaimed, spotting Maria at a table tucked into a corner of the open-air seating area. He surged forward, soft breeze ruffling his long curls. You squeezed Joel’s hand, hanging back to let Tommy greet his date without the pair of you hovering over them.

“I’ve never seen him like this,” Joel’s voice rumbled in your ear. “He must really like her.” Your head bobbed in agreement, turning to smile at him. Your faces were so close, the miniscule distance between you reduced further as Joel tilted his head, capturing your lips in a soft kiss. “Mmm, I really like you.” Joel’s lips pecked yours after every word.

“Come on already, love birds!” Tommy called, waving to you from his seat next to Maria.

“Nice to see you both again,” Maria greeted as you sat, her dark, smooth skin beaming with happiness.

Dinner was lovely, conversation flowing with a natural ease among the four of you. Maria and Tommy were equally enamored with each other and before long you and Joel were left chatting amongst yourselves.

“Want to get outta here?” Joel’s fingertips teased along the hem of your dress, stoking the fire that started building within you hours ago.

“Fuck yeah, I do.” Your chair nearly toppled backwards from the force with which you stood. Joel barely mumbled an excuse to his brother as you dragged him away, waving at Maria and Tommy over your shoulder.

A visceral need for him churned in your belly, skin buzzing as he dragged you around a few corners, backing you against a shadowed section of wall hidden from passersby and windows. Joel’s mouth was on you instantly, teeth nipping at your lips and scraping at your neck as he tasted your skin.

“Joel.” You drew his name out in a long, low moan as his fingers slid beneath the hem of your sundress and dipped past your panties. You were throbbing, wet and waiting for his expert touch. It had been too long since the last time you were together like this, the night at the hotel feeling like a distant memory.

“Sweetheart, all this for me?” His fingers left you briefly, bringing them up to his eyeline. Joel stared at the glaze on them, before slipping them into his mouth to suck at the irrefutable evidence of your arousal. “Fucking Christ, you taste good. Like nectar from a god damn peach.”

Joel made quick work of removing your panties, shoving the strip of fabric in his pocket as his lips met yours. A gasp left your lungs when his fingers sank knuckle deep inside you, his thumb teasing at your clit. The bundle of nerves already over sensitized, Joel made you come within minutes, his mouth swallowing your moans and whines.

“That’s it, sweetheart. Coming on my damn fingers already. So sexy.” Joel’s voice, rough with arousal, talked you through it, lips still touching yours as you breathed the same breaths. His free hand worked at his pants, setting his hardened cock free from its confines. “Need you, sweetheart. Now.”

“Oh, fuck.” Knees already weak from your orgasm, you hiked one leg up around his hip while he supported you, grasping your ass to hike you further up. Joel slipped inside, stretching your warm, wet walls with the sheer size of him. “Joel, love, you feel so good.”

Part of you couldn’t believe you were letting Joel fuck you against a wall in public. It was something you’d never done before – you were adventurous, sure, but not that adventurous. The other part of you didn’t give a shit. You were with Joel, the hard press of his body moving against yours bringing you both immense pleasure, and that was all that mattered.

Hands buried in those lush curls, you keened. “Faster, please.” Already on edge, you needed as much of Joel as you could get. “I’m so close.” His hips lurched in response, snapping faster, harder as his mouth latched onto the skin at the base where your shoulder met your neck. The sharp nip of his teeth followed by the gentle swipe of his tongue soothing the spot sent you over the edge. “Fuck, Joel!”

“Shhh,” he hushed you, fucking you through the height of your orgasm as your walls choked his cock. His thrusts became erratic, muscles flexing as he lost control. Your name flowed beautifully from his lip while his cum painted your walls. You stayed connected, chests heaving, and concrete wall cool against the heated skin of your back, as you both came down from the heights of ecstasy for several minutes.

“That was…”

“Yeah…”

There were no words.

The breeze shifted, carrying a slight chill in the night air, and you finally separated to right yourselves. Holding your hand out for your panties once Joel tucked himself away, you laughed when he just patted his pocket with a shake of his head. “Nah, I’m keepin’ ‘em.”

“Naughty,” you teased, grasping his hand as you walked.

The yacht was lit up when you made it back, the rest of the crew on the sundeck, dancing and carrying on. Laughter and buzzed conversations carried through the air as you and Joel quietly boarded without anyone seeing you. You knew you should join them on deck, but your heart ached to stay near Joel as long as you could. Joel seemed to feel the same.

Hand in his, you followed him through the interior to the bridge, brows shooting up when Joel merely nodded to Frank and dragged you around the corner to his quarters. You could hardly meet Frank’s knowing gaze as you passed.

“Joel, what –”

He silenced you with a finger against your lips, still puffy from the shared moments against the wall. “I’m not ready to let you go,” he murmured, shutting the door behind you. Large hands deftly removed your dress and bra, tossing them aside before slipping a fresh tee shirt over your head. “You’re staying here tonight, okay?”

Eyes widened comically, you merely nodded as Joel stripped down to his boxer briefs and pulled you into bed with him. You expected him to lead you somewhere quiet and private, but certainly not as private as his quarters. Settled beneath the soft sheet next to him, nothing in your life ever felt as right as laying there in Joel’s arms, his lips pressing tender kisses to your forehead. You only hoped he didn’t come to regret it in the morning.

The sky beyond the porthole was still dark, the first hints of dawn not yet peeking through when Joel drifted into wakefulness, your warm body tangled with his. Nose buried in your hair, he breathed in your scent, one hand caressing the soft, supple skin of your hips while the other cradled your head. He could not recall ever feeling such contentment, his heart fit to burst with emotions.

Joel’s hands continued wandering as he became lost in thought, imagining more moments like this with you. He could not wait to further explore things with you during the off season. You came in and set his life upside down in the best way possible when he least expected it. Falling in love did not come easy to Joel, but with you, it was effortless. He was falling whether he wanted to or not, it was inevitable and unstoppable.

You stirred beneath his touch when his hand dipped between your thighs, thick fingers teasing at your slit, already wet and ready for him. The sleepy moans you let out as he rubbed your clit hit his ears like a symphony. Joel continued fingering you until you were fully awake, clutching at him as he drew an orgasm from you.

“Joel,” you breathed his name into the dark room, mouth pressed to his neck, tasting the saltiness of his skin. “What’s gotten into you?” His hands were everywhere, mapping your body, committing it to memory.

“You.”

Mind still foggy with a mix of pleasure and sleep, you stared at him, perplexed. “What?”

“You. You’re what’s gotten into me,” he replied with a soft chuckle, pulling you impossibly closer. “You wriggled your way into my life, beneath my skin, into my heart. Now you’re in my bed. Of course, I’m going to take advantage of that.” You were looking at him with such softness in your eyes, he knew you felt the same.

Your hands wandered as he spoke, body still buzzing from the aftereffects of your orgasm, and finally wrapped around his rapidly hardening cock. “Yes, taking advantage of that sounds like a good plan.”

Joel laid back, letting you take control, your touch setting him ablaze. Shuffling down toward the foot of the bed, you took him in your mouth, and he whined at the wet warmth encasing him. He couldn’t take his eyes off you as you worked him, taking as much of him as you could until his tip hit the back of your throat, tongue working along the bottom of his shaft and swirling around the head. He wouldn’t last long like that, hands grasping your arms to gently pull you up.

“Why’d you stop me? I was enjoying myself,” you sassed, climbing up Joel’s broad form, thighs settling on either side of his hips.

“So was I, but I didn’t want to blow my load so quick. You’re too good at that, beautiful girl.” You were painfully gorgeous in the pre-dawn light, the glow of your skin ethereal in the moonlight. He kissed you, tongue licking into your mouth to tangle with yours as you wriggled your hips until the broad head of his cock was perfectly notched to slip inside you.

You sank down on him, moaning into the kiss as you began to ride him with a slow rocking of your hips. Unlike last night, where the pair of you worked each other hard and fast from the overwhelming need of the moment, every movement this morning was lazy and loving, a slow build of pleasure until you came with a gasp, Joel exploding inside you shortly after.

Words were on the tip of his tongue as you clung to each other afterwards, drowsy and sated, but Joel swallowed them. Too soon, he reminded himself.

Sleep pulled you both back under for a couple hours until all hell broke loose.

Yacht Charter in the Caribbean

The Cartagena Yacht Charters consisting of the Caribbean Sea, its islands and the surrounding coasts. It is located southeast of Northern America, east of Central America and to the north and west of South America. The Caribbean comprises more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs and cays. The name "Caribbean" is named after the Caribs, one of the one of the dominant Amerindian groups in the region at the time of European contact during the late 15th century.

There are plentiful Cartagena Yacht Rentals to various island throughout the Caribbean. But some of the islands have several connections in order to get there. Consider a private plane charters to cut out some of the many connections and they are not very expensive. Many private air charters will pick up in San Juan Puerto Rico or St. Thomas and fly to places like Martinique or St. Vincent.

Many parts of the Cartagena Boat Rentals have mooring systems in place and anchoring a yacht is prohibited. This measure prevents anchors damaging the coral reefs. Cynics will argue that the measures are more about revenue generation that protecting the environment and at $30 per night for a yacht mooring it is hard not to have some sympathy with this point of view. Yacht charter boats should aim to arrive at an anchorage in order to get a mooring or spot before the crowds arrive.

The climate of the Caribbean mainly ranges between sub-tropical to tropical and depends a great deal upon location in proximity to the tradewinds that blow towards the Eastern Caribbean islands heading northwest up the chain of Windward islands. When these tradewinds arrive close to the island of Cuba they tend to be overcome by other minor jet streams across the Caribbean region. Normally hurricanes which at times effect the region usually strike northwards of Grenada and to the west of Barbados. The principal hurricane belt arcs to northwest of the island of Barbados in the Eastern Caribbean. September and October are considered the height of hurricane season, although the nominal season is June through November. Check yacht charter company policies in regards to hurricanes. During the November through January winter months; the prevailing wind is 15 - 20 knots from the northeast. On and off all winter, the famous "Christmas Winds" blow at 25 - 30 knots for several day periods. Beginning in February and finishing in June, the winds move from a northeast direction to southeast when 10 - 15 knots can be expected. Late summer through autumn is the Caribbean's rainy season. However, rain squalls can occur at any time but are usually short lived. Average high temperatures range from 85° to 90° with the highest in July through October; average low temperatures are about 10° less.

The geography in the Caribbean region varies from one place to another. Some islands in the region have relatively flat terrain of non-volcanic origin. Such islands include Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Bonaire, the Cayman Islands or Anguilla. Others possess rugged towering mountain-ranges like the islands of Antigua, the British Virgin Islands, Cuba, Dominica, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Montserrat, Puerto Rico, Saba, Saint Kitts, Saint Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago. The waters of the Caribbean Sea are home to large schools of fish, turtles and coral reef formations.

Antigua and Barbuda are located in the middle of the Leeward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean, roughly 17 degrees north of the equator. The two islands are part of the Lesser Antilles archipelago. Reliable trade winds throughout the season, which runs from December to May, make Antigua and Barbuda a great yacht charter destination. Coral reefs and abundant marine life make for great snorkelling and scuba diving. Antigua has an international airport, with daily flights from many cities throughout the world. The East Caribbean dollar is the official currency but both US Dollars and Euros are used and major credit cards may be accepted in hotels, restaurants and some shops. Creole cusine predominates on the islands. The national dish of Antigua is fungie and pepper pot. Fungie is a dish almost entirely made from cornmeal and very similar to the Italian polenta. Other local dishes include ducana, seasoned rice, saltfish and lobster from Barbuda. There are also local confectionaries which include: fudge, peanut brittle, raspberry and tamarind stew and sugarcake. Good international cusine is also widely available.

The Bahamas lie just 100 miles of the coast of Florida. Bimini is the closest island to the USA and is also known as the gateway to the Bahamas. The island of Abaco lies to the east of Grand Bahama. Great Inagua is the most southeastern. Other notable islands include Andros Island, the largest island in the Bahamas, Acklins, Cat Island, Crooked Island, Eleuthera, Exuma, Long Island, Mayaguana and San Salvador Island. Nassau, the Bahamas capital city, lies on island of New Providence. In all there are over 700 islands in the Bahamas.

Yacht charter in the Bahamas offers turquoise waters and sparkling white sandy beaches. There are many attractive, interesting yacht anchorages. The climate of the Bahamas is subtropical to tropical. The Gulf Stream significantly moderates the climate particularly in the winter. Summer temperatures in the Bahamas average 30 degrees Celsius and are just 5 degrees Celsius cooler in the winter. Summer and autumn can bring very severe weather in the form of hurricanes. The culture of the Bahamas is a mix of African and European influences. This can be seen in the islands music and different styles include; junkanoo, rake and scrape, calypso and a unique form of hymnal. Marching bands are also an important part of life and are heard playing at funerals, weddings and other ceremonial events. In the less developed outer islands of the Bahamas, known as the "Out Islands" or "Family Islands", regattas are important social events. They usually comprise one or more days of racing by old-fashioned workboats and combine an onshore festival. The Bahamas also have festivals associated with the local traditional crop or food, such as the "Pineapple Fest" in Gregory Town, Eleuthera or the "Crab Fest" on Andros.

Abaco is a major centre for yacht charter in the Bahamas. Here a full service marina is home to many charter yachts. Fuel, water, ice, laundry and shower facilities are all available. You can also provision the yacht here. Fly to Abaco from Florida's Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami airports. Your charter yacht is just five minutes from airport. The main cruising area for yacht charters comprises Great Abaco and Little Abaco, along with a delightful string of sandy cays just to the east. Begin in the centre at quaint Man-O-War Cay.

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a British overseas territory, located in the north of the Caribbean Sea to the east of both Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. They are part of the Leeward Island chain. The approximate co-ordinates are 18° 20' N 64° 40' W. The archipelago of the Virgin Islands archipelago is made up of the US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands. The British Virgin Islands enjoy a sub-tropical climate, moderated by the trade winds. Temperatures remain fairly steady year round with a daily maximum of around 29°C in the summer and 25°C in the winter. The BVI averages about 115 cm of rain per year, although this is higher in the hills and coast is drier. The wettest months are September through to December. The British Virgin Islands are in an area that can see hurricanes from June to October and this effectively limits the sailing season to November - May.

Amongst the many attractions on the British Virgin Islands are the; numerous white sandy beaches; the baths on Virgin Gorda, snorkelling on the coral reefs near Anegada; the well-known bars of Jost Van Dyke Island. The British Virgin Islands include the main islands of Anegada, Jost Van Dyke, Tortola and Virgin Gorda together with over fifty other smaller islands and cays. The smaller islands include; Beef Island, Cooper Island, Ginger Island, Great Camanoe, Great Thatch, Guana Island, Mosquito Island, Necker Island, Norman Island, Peter Island, Salt Island. Only some fifteen of the islands are inhabited. The BVI are mostly volcanic in origin and have a rugged, hilly terrain. Anegada is the exception and is a flat island composed of limestone and coral. Tortola is the largest island, approximately twelve miles long and three miles wide. Road Town, on Tortola, is the capital of the islands. The British Virgin Islands have a total population of around 22,000 people.

The Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport, also known as Beef Island Airport, has regular connections to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Saint Thomas, USVI. There are also flights from most of the major islands in the Caribbean, Antigua and Saint Martin. It is located on Beef Island, just off the eastern tip of Tortola. Virgin Gorda and Anegada have smaller airports. The islands are a popular destination for cruise ships in the Caribbean and they use the British Virgin Islands main harbour in Road Town on Tortola. The official currency of the British Virgin Islands is the US dollar. Major credit cards are honoured at the larger BVI establishments but do not expect to use them at small restaurants.

The British Virgin Islands are one of the Caribbean's most popular yacht charter destinations and Tortola is home to the world's largest fleet of charter yachts. Prospective charters can choose between Skippered or bareboat charter. Motor or sailing vessels. Monohulls or catamarans. The short distances between the islands, often only 2 to 3 hours, make the BVI perfect for the first time yacht charterer and for families with young children. There are many flights to the BVI making access easy. On the downside the BVI can become crowded at peak periods; Christmas; Presidents Week and the Easter holidays. The first two weeks of July are also extremely busy due to Puerto Ricoxs holiday schedule. Charter Yachts require a National Park Permit; ask your charter company for more details.

Guadeloupe is an archipelago located in the eastern Caribbean Sea at 16°15'N, 61°35'W. It comprises five islands; Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre, La Désirade, Les Saintes and Marie-Galante.

La tierra de Baja California podría ser un pedazo de paraíso ubicado

Geográficamente hablando, Baja podría ser un lugar distintivo y fascinante para examinar y visitar. La tierra está ubicada entre 2 cuerpos de agua gigantes, el enorme océano en el oeste y, por lo tanto, el abundante Golfo de Golden State o el océano de Hernando Cortes al este. A lo largo de toda la tierra se extiende una serie de cadenas montañosas costeras que, junto con las playas y los desiertos de Baja, forman la región terrestre de l. A. península.

La multitud de regiones medioambientales en Baja California combinadas con su agradable clima mediterráneo expone las puertas hacia varias actividades recreativas para viajeros, visitantes, locales, turistas y vacacionistas.

Por supuesto, hay muchos deportes acuáticos disponibles en Baja California. Hay muchas playas, puertos deportivos, Cabo Yacht charters puertos y bahías en toda l. A. tierra de Baja California, l. A. natación asociada es una actividad que muchas personas disfrutan en las playas de area blanca y fina de Baja California. A excepción de l. A. natación, otro atletismo que miles regresan a Baja por año para adquirir experiencia es l. A. pesca deportiva. Con 2 masas de agua terriblemente abundantes y enormes en cualquier aspecto de l. A. tierra, no sorprende que Baja ofrezca una experiencia de pesca agradable.

El esnórquel y el buceo también son muy comentados entre los turistas. Sin embargo, hay muy pocos lugares en todo el planeta donde se pueda bucear y nadar en colonias de tiburones martillo o tiburones ballena ballena jorobada y grandes pero ligeros. Debido a los angeles rica biodiversidad marina en el océano de Hernando Cortés y, por lo tanto, en el océano, aún debido a los fascinantes paisajes submarinos que se encuentran en las costas lejanas de Baja California, cada asesor de buceo y aficionados disfrutarán de su experiencia en buceo en Baja California.

Otros deportes acuáticos y actividades recreativas en los angeles costa del mar que simplemente matará a Baja son los deportes acuáticos de viento, parapente, kayak en el océano, observación de ballenas, viajes acuáticos en islas y deportes acuáticos.

Debido a la larga franja de cadenas montañosas que se encuentran dentro de la tierra de Baja California, actividades como el ciclismo de montaña, trekking, senderismo y acampada son actividades recreativas populares en las cadenas montañosas de Baja California. Algunas buenas cadenas montañosas notables dentro de l. A. tierra de Baja California son Sierra Diamond State l. A. Giganta y Sierra Diamond State la laguna. Estas cadenas montañosas tienen regiones ambientales totalmente diferentes entre ellas. Podrás realizar bosques de pinos frescos, bosques de montaña seca y regiones montañosas desérticas.

Los desiertos en Baja California también ofrecen muchas actividades recreativas. El ciclismo en el desierto podría ser un deporte high-quality en Baja y aquí se organizan muchas competiciones y eventos anuales de ciclismo. También hay algunos ranchos que se encuentran en las regiones del desierto de Baja California, donde podrá montar a caballo, atletismo de carretera y ATV (todas las carreras de vehículos de tracto).

E incluso entre las ciudades masivas y las ciudades pequeñas de Baja, continuamente hay una distracción agradable para buscar. Los excursions son populares entre los vacacionistas e invitados. Misiones españolas anteriores, catedrales, museos, pinturas rupestres y diferentes sitios tradicionales y culturalmente vitales suelen ser parte de estos recorridos. Mirar podría ser una de las actividades más participativas en Baja California, no solo debido a los costos terriblemente bajos, sino también debido a la amplia gama de selecciones que hay que buscar.

Si hay un problema como el cielo en l. A. Tierra, entonces el Parque Tayrona calificaría. Playa Diamond State Cabo San Juan en el Parque Tayrona, República de Colombia, canta y baila su belleza; con enormes acantilados de rocas que se ciernen sobre mares de olas turquesas. No hay automóviles, carreteras u hoteles. Los alojamientos incluyen tiendas de campaña, hamacas terrestres y hamacas en una cabaña que domina el océano.

Los viajeros de todas partes del planeta pueden encontrarse descansando en las costas de Cabo San Juan. Tanto l. A. orilla está seleccionada para nadar al desnudo. Podrá llegar a Tayrona pagando $ 3.50 por un taxi desde Santa Marta, sin embargo, prepárese para una caminata de 2 horas por l. A. montaña hasta el océano. También podrás tomar un barco desde Taganga por $ 22. El bote está tripulado por la audaz Organización Mundial de los angeles Salud Colombianos, como para empujarlo simplemente una pequeña cantidad demasiado. Una vez que un par de 30 minutos de obtener un p.C. de aire inmenso en las olas gigantes del océano, el motor del barco se condenó y tuvimos que tomar un descanso de nuestra diversión. Nosotros, por supuesto, eventualmente lo creamos para nuestro destino.

Después de asegurarnos algunas hamacas en los angeles hamaca hut rock, hembra adulta y que practiqué yoga "caliente" y body-surf en tanta playa. Las olas son espectaculares en su playa y es los angeles menos visitada de todas. Si deseas surfear en las playas de SoCal, entonces te encantará esta costa: son olas similares, sin embargo, la temperatura del agua es quizás diez grados más alta. Más tarde, tendemos a unirnos a algunos amigos franceses para cenar asociados a un sno temprano

Enjoy a boat charter vacation in Menorca

Menorca Charters are ideal for sailing trips thanks to its generally windy but mild climate. Unlike its neighbour Mallorca, Menorca has been protected over the years and has been successfully sheltered from the effects of mass development and tourism, therefore maintaining the beauty and charm that make it so unique.

 Yacht charter Menorca offers plenty of options for those of you who want to take full advantage of the sun and sea but also get to know the island. Inland opportunities include golfing, hiking, cycling and horse riding…nature lovers will definitely not be bored in Menorca. Horse riding is extremely popular on the island, for visitors and residents alike. Especially during the “San Juan” festivities where a unique horse display is enjoyed by all in the medieval town of Ciutadella, located on the west coast.

 Another attraction is the lighthouse “Far de Punta Nati”, built in 1912 and known to some as the most exceptional place on the island to enjoy the sunset or stars thanks to its distance from artificial light. The Fortress of Isabel II, La Mola is also a great place to see for those of you interested in the islands culture and history. Various museums are also at your disposal throughout the island. The old town of Ciutadella is also a must see with its 17th century Italian style buildings. Wandering its maze of cobbled streets will show you an array of historic and religious buildings. Mahon’s city centre is a long stretch of various boutiques, cafés, restaurants and casinos, accompanied by various fishing boats and yachts anchored along its shoreline. All these attractions can be enjoyed by anchoring your Menorca charter at sea and taking the dinghy to shore for the day.

 For those of you craving the sea, experiences include sailing, windsurfing, diving, kayaking, fishing etc. All materials and equipment can be hired directly from one of the many schools and service providers located around Menorca. There are many spectacular dive sites to choose from, Menorca yacht charter recommends “Illa Porros Norte”, the Tramontana Marine reserve with a depth of approximately 65 metres where we can enjoy its beautiful landscapes and unique wildlife; or the “Llosa dels Ocellers” Cavalleria Lighthouse where we can enjoy a maze like experience while we watch out for various different schools of fish, including barracudas.  

 Yacht Charter Menorca is great for families with different passions as those who wish to do so can relax on the boat while the rest of the family goes their separate ways either inland or on the beach. Menorca’s coastline almost offers more sandy beaches than the rest of the Balearic Islands put together.

 Menorca Charters provide different areas for different tastes. Should you charter a motor yacht, the south coast has proven to be calmer and therefore provides a more enjoyable setting for cruising. The islands wilder Northern coast provides a variety of sleepy fishing villages and is ideal for those of you looking to enjoy a day of sailing, surfing or windsurfing thanks to the large waves that build up there daily.

 Should you wish to enjoy a relaxing sundowner with spectacular views over the sea, we recommend Menorca’s Cova d’en Xoroi. Impressively located in a beautiful cliff on the islands South Coast, the Cova d’en Xoroi is the perfect place to enjoy a “Caipomada” or a “Mojito” while watching the sun go down before the ambience changes and is converted into a unique nightclub.

REVIEW

The Wrong Victim by Allison Brennan

Quinn & Costa #3

 Another great addition to this series – thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to more!

 What I liked:

* Kara Quinn: undercover agent for LAPD on loan to the FBI, reads  people well, daughter of parents who earned a living working a con, a bit of a renegade, capable, caring, cares for Matt, a bit at loose ends from time to time

* Matt Costa: in charge of the FBI Mobile Response Team, intelligent, good leader, hand picked the team he works with, cares deeply for Kara, might have work-love conflicts to deal with in the future

* The team: getting to know them better was interesting although there is one that grates a great deal

* The skillset that the team members bring to the table

* The small town setting

* The police procedural aspects of the story

* The introduction to and a bit of information about the victims of the bombing received in the first chapter

* The red herrings, twists, turns and interesting side stories

* Wondering how the relationship between Costa and Quinn can work if there are rules against dating team members when working for the FBI

* Finding out the “why” of some of the crimes that were committed

* Wondering what will happen next

 What I didn’t like:

* The criminals and their crimes – I know that there are people in the world like them but hope to never encounter them personally

* The senseless loss of life that occurred in this book – necessary for the story but it made me sad

* Strong dislike for one member of the team…not sure if Catherine will redeem herself or not if she remains part of the team

* Having to wait to see what will happen next

 Did I enjoy this book? Yes

Would I read more of this series? Definitely

 Thank you to NetGalley and HQN-Mira for the ARC – This is my honest review.

 4-5 Stars

     BLURB

 A bomb explodes on a sunset charter cruise out of Friday Harbor at the height of tourist season and kills everyone on board. Now this fishing and boating community is in shock and asking who would commit such a heinous crime—the largest act of mass murder in the history of the San Juan Islands. Forensic profilers know there are two types of domestic terrorists: those who use violence to instill fear for political purposes but stop at murder because it detracts from the cause, and those who crave attention and are willing to maim and murder for their own agenda. Accused of putting profits before people after leaking fuel that caused a massive fish kill, the West End Charter company may itself have been the target. But as special agent Matt Costa, detective Kara Quinn and the rest of the FBI team begin their investigation, they discover that plenty of people might have wanted someone dead on that yacht. Now they must track down who is responsible and stop them before they strike again.
