A perfect summer day on a charter yacht in the BVI

Lisa always tells me "edit Kerry! Edit" "Summarize Kerry summarize" I don't seem to do very well at that and always have a billion stories and pictures to share! Notice how she has handily given up the blog to me this week! But I do have to admit that i like it. I have 22 pictures that I have to somehow put on todays blog. Not sure how that is going to happen here, but lets give it a try!
First up we have super diving LULU, when not cooking and organizing she is diving, and is ALWAYS up to do the night dive on the Rhone!

When I left you yesterday we were in the process of towing the banana boat up the channel trying to throw them off of it! ha! I think he used a hundred gallons of diesel and zigged and zagged all over the place, but the guests were mostly victorious and we could not get them of. Funny that, with a big old boat that does not plane!

Which brought us to the RHONE and Richard took the boys down to do some free diving and hopefully to swim through the shallow tunnel to the propeller! Look its SUPER RICHIE!!

The guys did great and here are some action shots, which I took from below.



After taking the pictures I took the opportunity to sneak off by myself and see what else I could find pictures of! I found some great shots and it was wonderful all by myself!

I was pretty excited to see turtles that let me take pictures of them. I think these are quite nice pictures, especially the purply one of the turtle! Lots of barnacles!



Then there was this little eel poking up looking at me at the same time as the turtles!

I took a swim out in the blue and found a couple nurse sharks that did not stay along too long once I showed up and then came back to the wreck and took a few more pictures before getting back on the boat! Amazing!

And super Richy also followed this Puffer around, who basically ignored him. Richy told me that he had a bit of a belly and had to put on more weight to get down! There is a lot of that going around!!

One last picture of the wreck before moving on..

We stayed the night in Salt Anchorage, and it appears some of us are still fighting jet lag as I do not seem to be able to get out of bed before noon! Not to worry though as we were still all at Salt Island.
There was Sea Glass hunting...

and climbing up to the top to find Promenades geocache...

As well as to get a couple spectacular views of the Rhone

and our two boats nicely at anchor...

Then we made our way over to Ginger Island to dive, but that is the next entry! After that we did our swimming game. This is where you jump off the front of the boat while sailing (under two knots) and like an amusement park ride you come out the back, grab onto a line and climb back on board. There was all kinds of giggles for this!
Some jumped right in...

Some had to think about it!

But there was tons of giggles when they were all in!

Some had to see to believe that they were actually there (note, we are trained professionals! DON"T try this at home!!! Only on Promenade! Ah, guess you will have to book a charter!)

Once the smaller ones were off and it was only the big boys on the charter and the big boys on the crew (that would be Richard and Brent!) then Bazza smoked it up so we were going about 4 knots! The guys could barely hang on! In fact, poor Tim at 18 years old had the pleasure of his shorts trailing at his ankles so with one hand he was trying to hide his bits and the other one he was hanging on, all to the amusement of the mothers who had out video cameras to tape the event!

We don't get to play this very often, but it is always a lot of fun for crew and guests alike! It is like being on technology corner again this week. This pictures does not do it justice actually how many IPODS and phones there is plugged in on our panels!

We had a really lazy time coming up to Savannah Bay on Virgin Gorda late this afternoon, and are anchored here now!
Whew! That was my version of summarizing. I have a billion emails to answer, which I apologize to everyone in advance for, I don 't think we will get at them until tomorrow! Maybe! If lucky!! It is almost midnight and I have to go see what words Lisa has played on Scrablous as I think I have just about enough energy to do that this evening before hopefully falling asleep. I did see daylight last night, it was about 6 when I fell asleep. I know it is going to get turned around soon.
Phew! I did it!! 22 pictures and a summarized blog entry kind of. Only took me an hour, so off to play SCRABULOUS!
