WE Went to Jost Van Dyke, we scuba on great thatch and we anchored at west end on tortola, bvi

I am not sure if I can get this out tonight! Hard being on charter, cooking, diving and socializing!!
We were over at White Bay on Jost pretty early this morning, trying to get a head start on all the day boats from St Thomas...

Some of them, namely related to me, where just being plain goofy!

Some went into the Soggy Dollar Bar and watched the day pass by for the morning..

Here is a mother and daugher(s) moment...I think I am looking quite slim for me!

Andy, My father and Chris looking like bumps on the log...

Just like back in the 50's when they were dating, Bob and Laurie sharing a soda!

Bob, who is an orthopedic surgeon, has a line up of gimped up people here to look at...Make use of our guests where ever we can, but this is looking at Bazzas knee which has been giving him problems....

We finished at White Bay and made our way over to Great Harbor to visit Foxy's for awhile, before a sail over to Great thatch for some snorkeling and diving... My sister and brother in law and I jumped into the east side of Great Thatch to go for a dive, somewhere I have often wanted to do a drift dive, but not somewhere I have ever had the opportunity...

It was a nice drift dive, with us seeing a number of various things, including many, many Queen Angel Fish...






This little eel , which is not common and i have not looked up his name yet...



A nurse Shark...


Some nice healthy coral, lots of current so lots of soft corals healthy as hell...

A nice school of Big Eye Jacks

My sister and Chris on the way up...

My mother waiting patiently for her two daughters to come back, although before we left she was already mentioning that she was adopting Brent and SImeon if we did not come back, so I don't really think she was that too concerned!

Do you know what this is? It is apparently a turtle keep at Great thatch...They would catch the turtles and keep them in here until they needed them for food, they could not get out the sides. Apparently much more historically interesting then the old fort on Great Thatch!

Bazza had the great idea for cocktail hour that we would play our money game with the shots and the non drinkers, or those who chose could drink off the non alcoholic tray. I thought "what is the bloody point?" Sign of a true dinner hey? BUt it actually turned out to be a lot of fun and we all enjoyed it.

For some reason, Brent seems to have lost most of the shots anyways...

We had a great sunset over Great thatch tonight....

And this is my brother in law. No comments from the peanut gallery, we have already said them all!

Our loveable brent, in action, penis in mouth...what can I say, we love him, but we do take care of the specials needs employees... (can I say that here?)

More sunset over the awning...

and my parents thinking this is the legion and we are at a Friday afternoon dance!

An unusual ocurrence this week, we actually landed a fish, never mind a fish, a Tarpon on board! On 4 lb gear thank you very much!

He was bleeding a lot when we brought him up, so we quickly released him...

Now I have taken my blog and my pictures and gone to bed to finish them on the proper day instead of a day late for once this week! Hard to be everything i am supposed to be this week. We have a couple leaving tomorrow morning, Brent and his brother and friend dissapearing to Tortola to rent scooters or something for the day, AND ME NOT HAVING TO DO ANY COOKING AT ALL TOMORROW! APPARENTLY FAMILY ARE MAKING IT HAPPEN! YIPPEE!!
