All the men on and around Honeymoon Beach noticed it well before the women and uttered not a single word. As the afternoon sun began to fade, flashes of light on the northern point of the bay caught the attention of the women. We scoured the site and discovered that scantily clad female model-types were posing amid the rocks around The Water Island Resort. The buzz at Joe’s Beach Bar during the cocktail hour focused on this being an annual event. No one knew anymore details, such as, were they compiling photos for a calendar, a magazine, or what? The photo sessions continued for days.
This morning a photographer approached our boat and politely asked if he could take a few pictures. I went below to powder my nose. Captain Dan took off his Speedo. When we came back up on deck, the photographer was at Exit Strategy’s bow attaching a black Velcro-edged wrap around our anchor’s snubber line… He snapped a shot from every angle possible: straight-on, from the right and the left, telephoto and wide, from the top. He spent a good half hour aiming to get at least one perfect picture in the best light.

As it turned out, Matthew (the photographer) was a friend of our friends' (Gene and Wilma of s/v GeWil) son Chris. Matthew needed to take some pictures of product called a "Chafe Pro" which is wrap designed designed by a client to protect lines from breaking during high hurricane-type wind conditions. Only a few hours were left before his return flight home and he was desperate to complete this "work" during the last hours of his "business" trip.
