Octopus for dinner. Shrimp.

Shrimp.

They were out of whole lobster, so we got three lobster tails instead.

Today was a bit of a hash due to schedule changes, but being low season, the hotel was super flexible with us, and easily accommodated all our changes. Once the day got going, we had some excellent massages to start the day (Tiff was extremely happy), then off to nine holes on the Four Seasons' Robert Trent Jones II-designed golf course.

A bit of wind made it challenging for Tiff, my first time trying to photograph golf made it challenging for me, but it was worth it. Despite years of practice, golf is a difficult sport, and Tiff's full range of expressions were at play, from missing putts to the excitement of making par on a difficult hole And yes, sand traps always seem to have magnets in them.

Walked around a bit before dinner, checking out the dock and the Friday afternoon bar setup, then one last dinner at On The Deck. Octopus, shrimp, and way too much lobster for dinner. The mosquitos sadly got us too, sigh...
