I need more hours in the day and more energy to fit in all these charter stories and pictures. It was a late morning today, we were having eggs benedict at 10 AM this morning!
Seas have picked up, the wind has picked up and we have a bit of weather around... We went over to the RMS Rhone for a dive this morning. The Current was REALLY strong on the surface, we had tons of weight on the down lines...Simeon took all the resort divers down and I took the certified divers to the deep end.



My faves again, silhouettes, those are all SImeons girls coming down the line...
These are my divers, Meghan, Stephanie and Wayne making there way down...



Show off!

Once we hit the deep end, we had NO current. That was very nice.

We swam by the condenser....

and made our way through the bow....



Nice pair of Angelfish here...No puffer fish today, that was quite unusual...

Saw TWO little Golden eels, which is quite unusual. I don't I have ever seen two on the same dive before...

Beautiful turtle came swimming by, but by that time we were shallow and the current was really humming again........I could not catch up to him!

Not sure what is going on here with Quincy! Looks like lifejackets as diapers!

It was a motor up to the Baths then, where they found the swimming pool and a drink....

Modeled their new Promenade Cover ups...

and we have a group photo!

This is definitely out of order, but I have too many pictures to pick up to worry about it right now! This is dinner tonight!

And once again we have a computer room in the saloon....

SInce it is Waynes retirement, we have a couple theme nights this week. Tonights was Jimmy Buffet tonight!
I tried to get a bit fancier with the drinks, but I was having one of those nights where everything was really going wrong and spilling everywhere, so it just did not really come together for me that well!

I solved it and sat down and had a cherry vodka instead!
The troops starting appearing in their best colorful Jimmy Buffet wear....



Then it was straight into the games to find out who had to wear which articles of clothing tonight...

Some of our guests did not have to, or want to, wait for the ridiculous clothes to come their way, they just started out happily with them!





Others, were not quite so lucky and had their outfits chosen for them!

I do have to say that Stephanie wore the Pirate outfit look well though!

I am not sure her daughter thought so though!

Annie was a trooper...

And Meghan was the last winner, or loser, depending on how you look at it! Either way we have a very colorful group on board tonight!!!

Then the dancing started! There was a ton of energy surrounding it, very loud music and they are all off to Leverick Bay tonight for a dance party hopefully!!!

And just to finish off with something not quite so harsh, here is a nice picture of Quincy on the bow of the boat....

Good luck all you people in at Leverick Bay tonight, you may need it when my group shows up!

Brent, Bazza and I have gotten into the habit of having a FULL THROTTLE energy drink after lunch. We have done so many back to back charters, that we just slipped right into it. It will be a big shock to our system once we have to go through withdrawal on these damn things, however, today is not the day. Yesterday there was a bit left in the can, so I just put it in the fridge... Noticed it about lunch and took a swig, thought "oh that is flat" and put it back...Brent walks in behind me, opens the fridge pulls it out and starts to take a swig...I tell him it is flat but I will drink it anyways just as he also says that it is flat but he will drink it anyways!!

We truly know that we are pathetic now!!!

Tomorrow is supposed to be Anegada, so it should be a good sail out there, the wind is strong. We hit 10.5 knots today sailing up Virgin Gorda...
