This was sunset last night looking down toward Jost. We actually had some rain last night! It has been very dry for this time of year....

The wenches gave me their cameras today for some pictures on them, and since Bazza loves the Xmas decorations at Bobby's so much, I thought he would appreciate having a permanent record of them. Everything should be right in his world now..

One of our infamous roosters that don't know how to tell time and crow at the most inopportune times...

and they found parrots! I don't even know where these are on Tortola, I know I have never seen them anyways.

Today we put on our bright red shoes (not clogs but who is looking when they are this bright anyways?) and a couple of the girls went for the hike on guana Island.

They took pictures of cactus (no I don't know what kind they are!)

and more cactus..

And looking down at the rocks on the outside of Guana...

and looking up on the outside of Guana...

They enjoyed their little walk quite a bit....

They found spiders...

and found photo ops of the boat in the background as well!

While hiking and snorkeling was going on, Wendy took the opportunity to go for a dive with Simeon and apparently that was a success with them seeing turtles...

Someone took a picture of me up on my perch! How did that happen. I asked her to redo it later so I could pull in my stomach, but she did not! I guess I have to put up one of me occasionally. I think I should be losing weight since I am doing charters again this year, but apparently that is not the case. One of the girls told me yesterday that turning the helm and saying "coming about" did not count as exercise! Too bad!!

Our girls are having better luck in the fishing department then many of our groups have. Today between Guana Island and Tortola we (using the we loosely, I only took pictures!) hooked a tuna...

Who bled all over the back decks..The very reason a lot of boats try NOT to catch fish, but they do taste so good!

Yes, he is going to be appetizers tonight, coated with some cracked pepper or montreal steak seasoning and then seared in the pan over high heat and served with some wasabi. Our tuna we catch here is not a high enough grade to totally leave raw for sushi, so we cook it lightly...
