Just realized it has been a few days since I put anything up...It has been busy! My oldest son Chad turned 30 a few days ago and I took Bazza in for knee surgery today for a torn miniscus that has been bothering him all season! This is when we managed to get it done. Thank god it is two keyholes, and the recovery time is supposed to be minimal. Funny man, about two seconds after he was out of anesthesia he wanted to go home! We had to almost restrain him!!

It was also hot and tons of sahara dust in town. Although the boys washed the boat today for charter tomorrow, I think tomorrow it will be filthy again! Last night was nice, we actually had friends over for dinner. Mauricio Handler, and his wife Julia. Both of them lived on Tortola for a very long time and Mauricio is quite a well known photographer, in fact, he was the one who got me into underwater photography, to my husbands utter dismay. They, had not had, Kerry's Blue Drink (except it was purple last night!) so we initiated them into it! They liked it!!!

We were down at the Nanny Cay boat yard a couple days ago and took this picture of Tamoure. It is so unusual for us to see a full keel old traditional wood boat!

My sister sent me a note saying that her boyfriend Chris had a new "toy" to watch planets and stars with from their apartment..I don't know what tale he is spinning her, but these DO NOT look like star watching binoculars to me!
