Setting Sail on the Janise Lagoon

The sun was just beginning to rise as I made my way to Marina Puerto del Rey, the anticipation of the day ahead buzzing in the air. The Janise Lagoon 380 awaited, a sleek catamaran promising a day of adventure and relaxation on the Caribbean Sea. As a former professional surfer, the ocean has always been my playground, and today, I was ready to explore its depths in a new way.

Captain Ívan greeted us with a warm smile, his easygoing demeanor setting the tone for the day. Alongside his boatmate, he guided us onto the catamaran, offering a quick rundown of the vessel and what we could expect. The morning air was crisp, and as we set sail towards the islands of Piñeros or Palomino, I felt the familiar thrill of the sea beneath me. The ride was smooth, the catamaran cutting through the water with ease as we played games and soaked in the sun.

Diving into the Deep Blue

Upon reaching our destination, we anchored in the open water, a decision that promised an unobstructed view of the vibrant marine life below. Equipped with snorkeling gear, I dove into the crystal-clear waters, the world beneath the surface coming alive with color and movement. Schools of fish darted around me, their scales catching the sunlight in a dazzling display. It was a scene straight out of a dream, the kind of underwater paradise that fuels my passion for the ocean.

Floating on the provided lily pad, I took a moment to simply be, the gentle sway of the water lulling me into a state of pure bliss. The sight of sea turtles gliding gracefully by was a highlight, their presence a reminder of the ocean’s endless wonders. Back on the catamaran, a delicious barbecue lunch awaited, the flavors of Puerto Rican cuisine a perfect complement to the day’s adventures. Grilled chicken, rice, and salad never tasted so good, each bite a celebration of the island’s rich culinary heritage.

Riding the Waves Back Home

As the afternoon sun began its descent, we prepared to head back to the marina. I claimed a spot at the front of the boat, the wind in my hair and the horizon stretching endlessly before me. The return journey was a chance to reflect on the day’s experiences, the beauty of the Caribbean Sea leaving an indelible mark on my soul.

Captain Ívan and his boatmate were the perfect hosts, their passion for the sea evident in every aspect of the voyage. As we sailed back, the waves grew larger, each crest and trough a reminder of the ocean’s power and majesty. It was a fitting end to a day spent in harmony with the sea, a day that reaffirmed my love for the island life.
