Back on Charter

Well, it seems mostly what I have for blog material is pictures today! Some days I have more then I know what to do with.
Well isn't this cute? B came out looking for the clippers, and since Bazza needed his done as well, just before pick up today they were a sweet little team on the back deck doing each others hair!

I want to know how long B has lived in the Caribbean now that he is this white!

In the distance we spotted TROUBLE. We wondered why the dinghy was going so slow and then realized that they all came out in one load!

It is always an extra special day when repeat guests come on board, and this was an extra special day, as our "Old Folks" (and apparently they are not too impressed with that name either!) from St Mary's came on board!

I believe this is the 5th trip for some of them! Lisa, tried to keep control of them and fill in all the rules for the couple new people onboard, but the "old repeat folks" kept on talking out of turn!

Dan brought us lots of presents (although I believe they all have the logo of his past company on!) and with his two little squirt guns I like lisa's chances much better with the large back hose!

My friend george is always good for a laugh, he was showing us how he makes a face out of the gout on his elbows! As some commented on the blog last time he was here "yep, that's my dad!"

Peggy quickly got into the position she left last year about this time, I am sure i have a yearly picture of her here doing this!

I am not sure what happened to our nice flat summer weather of the last while! All of a sudden we had these wave type things in the channel and lots of wind! We went up to Beef Bluff for lunch and we thought we spotted whales!...No never mind, it was just a guest!! (hee hee! Don't feel bad, I would look like a pod of whales if it was me up there)

After a tour through the mangroves at Hans Creek we had a sail over to Cooper Island where we are anchored around back of Cistern Point. I decided to go for a jump in the water as my official title this week is "blogger!" I don't even have to cook anything (well, I said I would make cinnamon buns, and i think I will make fresh shortbread cookies as well!..Just little treats...and the crew would die without their iced coffee!)
I co-opted my husband into my dive so he could put together all the camera equipment. I am sure he loves it! Taking photographs at night is so easy. Get close, have light and snap away with a good lens. Almost getting to be not even a challenge and I cannot say that we saw anything too exciting so I will show you what I did take for those who like the underwater photos.
Guess what this is? It is an eye of a shrimp. Trying to be creative!

Don't remember this fish name..

This is the inside of a turnicate

This is probably the best picture, but then again, these Moray Eels pose for you so nicely, it is hard to get a bad shot. This little guy was inches long, maybe 6 he was quite tiny!

An arrow crab, saw lots of those..

Some more eyes, off a conch..

And a tiny little couple inch crab peeking out of the coral head.

A sand flyer

And a hermit crab living in the conchs home!

When I came up they were all giggling and sitting around having dinner which is Mahi Mahi tonight! Nice picture, I love the great smiles. I am beginning to think we have about the goofiest captain in the entire Caribbean, never mind the BVI though! I don't think I have ever seen Richard take a nice picture, you can spy him in the back corner! Lisa says sometimes she is afraid to wonder what people think of her boyfriend!! He is like a big bear though and truly enjoys himself!

I have left them all the fish and drink more wine and it is night time!
