Xmas eve on Guana Island in the BVI
Well it is Xmas eve in the BVI and it is glowing (I think I meant blowing!) a gale. Literally, we have seen 35 knots quite a bit today and have had various glasses and soda cans flying around the boat...
Here is last nights dinner, we had steak! Not on the barbecue in big winds though....
We made our way down to Mountain Point to partake of a dive and also some pull toys...
We had a brand new resort diver today, which makes 7 out of the 9 guests that we have managed to get diving this week! First thing we saw when we went down was a nudibranch...or flat worm as you have,
We took family photos....
Neil picked up a conch and he looks like he is saying "mine, and noone is taking it!"
Here we have SCUBA Barbie and SCUBA Ken, AKA, brother and sister....
A little ray that was down there...
Neil was bound and determined he was doing a Steve Irwin, but the Sting Ray took off on him....
This Ray here was at the anchor, siphoning up everything the anchor stirred up...
We were attempting some split shots, although the wind was so gusty it hurled the boat around and we were constantly trying to catch up to the boat...Still turned out not too bad...
Neat silhouette of our snorkeler in the water watching us...
We had lunch, we banana boated, we snorkeled to the beach and finally about 430 we figured we better get a move on if we were going to get anywhere. Put up wing and wing sails and made our way in no time at all down to Muskmelon Bay on Guana Island....
Where else would we spend Xmas Eve? Maybe Salt! Everyone made there way into the water for a night dive, although apparently there was not much visibility at all....Tonights dinner was seafood..
And we have the 5th nights dinner on the table shot....
The rest of the festivity pictures will have to wait until tomorrow. Merry Xmas everyone, if we don't get blown away. Nice to see our Xmas winds are living up to their name. We have also had a few wicked rain squalls tonight as well, but no one else is in our anchorage.. Most people probably think that with ten foot seas and north swells with 30 knots of wind that Muskmelon would not be that good, but we are so wide, we hardly feel it at all...Go trimarans for stabiliey!!
