It is gorgeous flat weather again in the BVI
We went from a ton of wind and rain to no wind at all today. Some weird swell, and the sailing was pathetic, but we had blue skies anyways!
After an epic shopping expedition at Sopers Hole we made our way over to the Bight, and they went to Willy T's for a brief while, and then it was over to Spyglass where everyone was ecstastic to jump in the water just to cool off! no wind equates to very warm! Bazza and I took the opportunity to jump in the water. This is always a pretty dive and snorkel quite shallow, the drop off bottom is quite unremarkable. We know, we have tried it many times! We did manage to find this nice little BurrFish who thought he was camouflaged so he just sat there and let me take pictures of him!
Here is a close up of his eye.
And a nice little filefish...we also saw a baby turtle, a lobster schools of blue tang and a nice large permit.
When we came up Richy had some victims, er guests, ready to go on the Banana Boat. We just went banana boating right in the channel and there was hardly a ripple. One of the men said it was not a good idea to do that with shorts that had no lining in them. I say no more!
We all pretended we were 18 tonight for a brief hour and played a cocktail game...
Dan and I won the grand prizes tonight! Barb won the game over all and a total of $24.00 to boot!
I was lucky and managed to get away with a banana shot and a baileys...good thing, my alcohol consumption is about nada for the summer.
The sky tonight in Benures Bay is really spectacular and an unusual color as well! The generator came on this evening thank gosh, so the inside of the yachts is starting to cool down! I wonder what fishing luck we will have tonight?
We feel like the "last charter boat standing" out here. Not too much activity around and it is sure nice in the anchorage as well!
