Happy Friday

It is that time of the week again for Happy Friday! I am running out of things to write about on here, any suggestions would be appreciated?

We have been really busy with out of town guests.

We had Al and Tina from California stop by for a day on the Carnival Glory. We met Al and Tina almost ten years ago when we were all on a cruise through the Panama Canal and have kept in touch with them all these years. We took them to Magens Bay to the beach for the day with some Pizza at Island Time Pub in Red Hook.

Then it was off fishing and caught some Wahoo.

Then taking a friend from High School and her family and friends to Jost as they were here staying on St John.

And finally taking a group of friends over to Cane Garden Bay on Tortola and then Soggy Dollar.

And of course, we had another visitor come by, this tarantula.

Now we have guests in from where we used to live in Driggs, ID here for a few days, so it will have to be Jost tomorrow, fishing Saturday and watching the Jets beat Buffalo on Sunday.


Have a great weekend!

Boating to Cane Garden Bay and Jost Van Dyke, BVI

This past weekend we had our boat warming party as we just purchased our 2011 World Cat 320 CC, named the Louly III. We had 12 friends on board. We started out of the Compass Point Marina on St Thomas, stopped in St John to pick up some friends, checked into customs on the West End of Tortola and made our way over to Cane Garden Bay on Tortola.

 Cane Garden Bay is a popular stop for cruise ship passengers when they visit Tortola. We were fortunate to visit on a non-cruise ship day. We were one of two boats and a handful of tourists that were staying near by.

We went to Myett's for lunch and sampled some of their homemade rum. Food there was typical Caribbean beach bar food. http://www.myettent.com/restaurant.htm

Followed by a walk down the beach!

Gather the troops and off for desert at Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke!

And then it is "Adios to Jost", that time of day. 

It's weekend days like these that make you really appreciate how lucky we are to live here!
