Sopers Hole, West End

We seemed to have packed a lot of activities into today and managed to make it a total of maybe two miles! We started with a dive and a snorkel on Great Thatch, although some went for the more leisurely activities...

Then we went on to snorkel boarding, predatoring, banana boating, water skiing and who knows what else. The look of concentration determined to get up on one ski!

And he is up!

Finally late this afternoon we went for a llloooonnnngggg sail, from Great Thatch to Sopers Hole, but we tacked back and forth in the pleasant wind now and it gave me an opportunity to take some pictures of the guests and the boat under sail...



I stopped over to see Glory of Christiansted as I have a couple people who are booked on Davids boat this week! They have loved the strong wind for sailing the last couple days. Unfortunately, they, like my guests have not figured out how to keep their shorts on the line either!!

We hit Sopers Hole about sunset and it was straight onto fishing. One more time! But we were very successful before dinner even hit the table. One Tarpon...

And one Horse Eyed Jack! After they caught these I made them come have dinner before they could go back fishing!

Some of you may laugh at this picture. These are mouse and rat traps! Remember I pondered a couple weeks ago on whether we would get creatures again on board now that we were using a dock again? Well we did! Quite quickly apparently. I noticed I had cracker packages gnawed into! Not knowing what we had on board we went for all kinds of traps and poison. Well, we win! He did not last long on board, but it goes to show that we will have to keep this kind of stuff out now that we are using dock again. I am questionning whether using a dock is worth it after all. Yep, this was not my brochure tourism moment either, I am not sure many people would admit that they found one on board!
