Space X launch planned for 7.30 pm tonight..... Unless scrapped, so I am told. More starlings are going to space.
I also doubt that Artemis will launch on Tuesday. But one never knows till the nth second!

If they expect really bad weather, they will move it back to the Vehicle Assembly Building.  That takes time.

I'm curious to learn more about the Adult only club.  Last news I heard was from Mr Bayley saying it would be open mid or late 2023.   Has there been any updates?

Nothing official that I've heard.  But they're still doing construction there.

How about people who order a coffee with skim milk and ask for whipped cream.

Skim milk saves calories for the whipped cream.

I always wanted to try an AI beach place but Dan was not a beach person.  Thinking of trying this one in Cozumel $39.   They only take 30 people and its walking distance from the pier which I like being a solo cruiser now.  I think it's a small place.  It got a good review very recently from the B..g person that can't be named  Has anyone been here??

I wonder if this means the beach is rocky? “Natural Ocean Pool (bring your water shoes)”

We have been many times.

 

There is no natural beach. It is by International pier and so  is ironshore so is suitable for snorkeling, hence the suggestion for water shoes. There is a man-made sandy area as (stated on website) where loungers are situated. There is a small infinity pool for dipping. 
 

I always suggest people look at photos on TA and there are several videos of the place. It is accurately portrayed in the website but many people seemed disappointed by small size of facility and lack of beach.

 

There have been some disappointing reviews in Cozumel board over the summer. We last visited in February and March and it was fine although there have been some cutbacks in supplies like everywhere else.

@Sea Dog is this the CocoCay BC you got?

 

We have the Beach Club twice and really liked the calm atmosphere.  Granted the first time was an over the water cabana last Thanksgiving which was a very special treat!

I'm way behind, hope to catch up on the long drive home tomorrow, but I thought I would post a few pics from our Cornish holiday.

We only booked for four nights but trying to pack in as much as possible. We are staying in a small cottage in a village called Veryan. My mum went to her first school here and we think my grandfather is buried in the local church yard though can't find a grave.

It's a lovely little village with a pub about 10 min walk which does great food. 

On Thursday we met up with my cousins in Mevagissey, a fishing village.  Our uncle was a fisherman there and we had a bench in the harbour in his memory and always meet for a cup of tea there when we are down .

Yesterday we had a coastal hike from Pendower to Portscatho. It isn't that far but hard work following the coastal path. Beautiful weather and there was a lovely beach at the end with a great beach cafe for lunch .

Today we hope to go to Perranporth where my grandmother lived and where we always had our summer holidays as children

Your pictures as always never disappoint.

I got up at 4 am this morning to 40°, and I said this may be the day I try to give up Starbucks.  
 

I blame this on Susan. 
 

 

Evidently, today is not the day. 

No Starbuck's?  Seriously????  🙄

…I'm curious to see what the 'adults only' beach is like on Coco Cay (and if Royal is going to charge admission, or if it will be free).  Time will tell!

Is this something new? I haven’t heard of it. As for the admission, I think that would be the only way Royal would do it. I would be shocked if I’m wrong. 😀

Sorry about my foul mouth. I guess next time I’ll have to use the words freezing, icy time of year. 😆

Yes, Royal announced last fall and construction started earlier this year there will be a Royal Club (I think is what Mr. Bayley called it) on Cococay for Adults only.

I couldn't get a peek when I where there earlier this month, probably people doing zipline or water slides have seen in.

I believe most baseball fans and most reporters believe 61 is the real record , I dismiss the steroid players , they probably still route for Lance Armstrong 😁😁.

 

I agree. I like to use the term "clean record" as opposed to the "tainted records". Unfortunately, MLB looked the other way during the steroid era as it was cashing in on ratings (and $$$$) during the epic HR run chases.

 

The fact that Bonds, McGwire, etc are not in the Hall of Fame and nobody seems to be upset about it, speaks volumes as to what the baseball public & press think.

The pictures remind me of the setting of the British TV show BroadChurch, with the dramatic cliffs making for a spectacular backdrop.  I think the name of the actual town where it was filmed is Dorset. Is that anywhere near?

Nobody knows if the players of the 20’s to the 50’s ever used substances to enable them to perform better.

Ok, so when I saw this post, I thought I may have missed a photo that would surely get banned here.

 

 

Where I am from, pasties have a totally different meaning than what was probably being referenced. 😳😏

I wish I knew a way to be able to share it outside of CC. It’s cringeworthy and hilarious at the same time!

Probably, CC was playing up and I couldn’t get the one photo to post. I am sure @sgmnunderstood. Sure beats pizza.

I learned something from reading 2912 pages of this thread.

Actually, with y’all being a contraction of you all, it is plural. 
All y’all, therefore, is “All of you all”.
