AnoTher last evening before charter.
I have to say that typing out a blog entry on my phone or iPad is tedious as hell. And that is after I spend an hour getting pictures up.
We are about ready to pick up charter tomorrow. That is if we managecto find diesel in the am!
Bazza and I did take a trip into see the artifacts and old photos that was on at the old sugar mill on Station street.
Apparently all those old anchors were found in Road Harbor.
My favorite...old bottles!
Apparently there is a plant that is only endemic to anegada called poke me boy that they used for building boats there at one time. I never knew that! Iguanas and now poke me boys. Quite impressive for a relatively new coral island.
This is our new dinghy. All shiny and bright. looks so good!
And they opened a new rite way at the end of the dock tonight! It is clean, the air conditioning and freezers work well and the ice cream is hard.!
Won't always be this clean but we will enjoy it for now.
And this dear folks is our brand new recovered and pretty new couches! With new thick soft foam and everything. It is very traditional boaty but looks great! Just anyone try and sit on my couch with a wet bottom now!
In a worrying trend tonight though, Bazza was on the back platform doing some work when a dinghy with two dark men came around and avoided our line and then went up before baz heard one say "there is someone on the back deck watching us" and they took off.
Our security lights and alarms are securely on at the moment.
In other news I understand we will have one less guest this week because someone can't find their passport!

Charter life on Promenade
ell, I have stolen Lisa's computer to post a few pictures that we do have from this week! My computer has made it back to California in my sisters loving hands to take it into the Apple store. These pictures are really in a random order here, so work with me...
First picture is Lisa and Margot diving on the Chikuzen....
This is a large Barracuda on the Chikuzen too...
And a sting ray peeking over the hull.... Also found a Reef Shark swimming around the side of the boat, but the pic I have is so blurry I am not even going to put it up!
I don't remember ever seeing Lisa look quite this carefree before. It looks like one of those TV commercials where the women is wearing a trailing gauzy white dress for massengil or some other random female product!
Sunset over Anegada... the night we were anchored out on the reef...Aptly taken by Sharyl, who was also awake to take the sunrise picture every single morning!
You can tell this was a guest taking this picture as Conner has never smiled on demand like that for Lisa or I!!!
Sharyls great sand sculpture for the opening credits of her slide show...
This pictures speaks for itself I would say...
Richard and Chris being silly.Probably at Michael Beans if I know Richard at all! No wind that day it was hot, hot, hot, up there...
Sunset at Great Harbor on Jost Van Dyke....
Heading into Foxy's for some shopping, the women guests are wearing some brand new sparkly Promenade tshirts...

Anchored out at Anegada part #2
The boys were busy getting all the cameras ready for scuba diving yesterday...Two big rigs hanging around the boat take up quite a lot of room!
They found a big old fin hunting around in the shallows that they did not want to get too close to and get pictures in case they were then the ones hunted...
I see the power lounger and the Bushwackers came out when we returned....
We stayed anchored right here last night, it is always wonderful when we get to do that. Lisa and I have both liked this splitting the galley duties, AND having a few guests who are mostly female on board! We do wonder though even with 3 boys on board why we can never find one when things need doing???
Dinner tonight was screamy scallops and shrimp, I think Lisa ate most of them! A result of the "it tastes much better when someone else cooks it" school....
We also reprised the baileys and kahlua cheesecake from last week. It was YUMMY as well!
After dinner all gathered around to see what nasty pictures I had put up on the blog the last few days and then we made them turn off all the lights and then go lay on the trampolines to watch the stars! Sneaky way of getting them to bed early isn't it??
