The arrival of Janice!
A good start to the day with a dive/snorkle on the Rhone, we saw one of those mutant Puffer fish
Heres Keith coming through the propellor
It was a fabulous dive and there was no one there till we got out the water, then every one arrived!
We moved on around to Salt Bay, where B took them all for a power walk around the Island, some good pictures.....
A bit of wind and waves in the channel today, we headed across channel, making our way to Marina Cay, it was to be a Michael Beans night!
There was a little time to spare though, so we headed off for a quick dive while the rest of the group lazed and showered, I finally got some good pictures of this arrow crab
and this brittle star
We also had the arrival of our last guest, Janice! She arrived at 5pm and made her way straight to Pussers for Happy Arrgh with us, what a trooper!
Me and B were the escorts for the night and both of us won a shot of rum!
I left them with B at half time, they all did well, we entered the conch blowing but a semi pro won, heres Helen being a blow hard!
Then here she is at dinner Miss Janice!!!!!!!
We haven't played scrabble yet Kerry, but I am going to lend her a computer, so if she can't sleep in the night, we can always start a new game!

The Brits are invading!
The start of a new charter and its a head boat and it is full of Brits!!! I am all confused and trying to translate things from American to English now!! Its quite complicated! I also have my ma on board, which makes it even more exciting and I have a new hair do, it's all go!
So, my mum arrived the other night, we had a massage and hair cut yesterday, I then took her shopping to Bobbys and she got to help me carry all the bags home! We showed her the town last night, we had a cocktail in the Dove Resteraunt and appertisers, then a swift drink and back for bed! It was just after midnight when we got home I was worried about turning into a pumpkin!
This morning we had our new group arrive, we have the Brits....
and our poor out numbered American couple, who have to try and work out what we are talking about! They are doing a sterling job!
We have had the ultimate in lazy afternoons today, we did manage a dive, which was very exciting, we saw a nurse shark!! the rest of the group had a great snorkel, B did his tour to the Chubb house. Cocktails went down very well and we have a dinner shot!
Heres me with my mum and my new hair do! B excelled with his napkins tonight!
For those who know what the Pumple challenge is, apparently ultimate napkin folding will be a new feature this year!
The sunset was amazing tonight

sitting on the left coast
No, I have not disappeared, although I sure enjoyed all the pictures of the children on the boat this week! We have made it over to the left coast of the continent, after a long, pretty uneventful trip across the southern states on #10!
I took this picture in Texas, and was absolutely amazed at how many birds were sitting on the wires! They made a lot of noise as well!
There is 880 miles from one end of Texas to the other on the 10. 880 long miles, but good roads! I thought of our guests as I was going by some of their hometowns like San Antonio and Fair Oaks Ranch, but the only stop we made was overnight at the Flying J in San Antonio. We knew we were better off to get the drive done.
The roads actually were the worse when we got into California. We could see the smog from LA about a hundred and fifty miles east of the city! We have made it to my sisters though, near San Francisco! Both Bazza and I were quite allergic to cats, so they put them outside and locked the cat door so they could not get in. These poor cats were not impressed at all that there door was locked and tried for hours to get it open!! I felt sorry for them!
And this is my much younger and cuter sister, Sydney with her boyfriend Chris and us. We just had barbecue at the house tonight.
The guests had sent Lisa a few more pictures from the week and I thought I would put a couple of them up. To me it looks like Brent had MORE fun then the kids this week!
Does not seem to matter whether we have middle aged women or kids! The poor cabana boy seems to take a beating!!
Not often we get a picture of the person who does the blogging, so here is Richard and lisa! Looks to me like Rich has gained a couple of pounds in the cheeks. Lisa must have relented and let him eat! Richy always gets to eat more when Kerry is on the boat!
The next time you hear from me we should be in Australia!

The banana boat and beyond!
Last night the mums went off to Willy T's, which was pretty quiet by all accounts, they still managed to close the bar though! The rest of us watched the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", well we all started and one by one the kids dropped like flies, they were tucked into bed as they dropped off by Jeff, until it was just us big kids watching the movie! They all slept really well and were full of beans again this morning, which began with a snorkel around the Caves, while also keeping an eye out for Pirate treasure! None to be found today though!
It wasn't long before the toys came out, we even got the big kids out there again today too! By the end of today we have done every water toy we own. Heres some shots of the knee board, Mr B gave the kids a demonstration of how to do it first of all!!
Looking good B
AAAAHHHHHH!!!!
The girls had it all sussed out pretty quick
Jeff did pretty well too
Spoke too soon
We managed a quick stop off for some lunch, they were happily nibbling away at burgers when Emmas tooth fell out!
We will expect a visit from the tooth fairy tonight! and my cute picture of Cam for the day, eating again....
We have only moved around the bay today, thats as far as we made it!

News flash! Today there was no predator!
A cute picture from last night, heres B "watching" movies with the kids
We also had some interesting fish around last night, big schools of tarpon, silver sides being quickly eaten by big tarpon and a friendly squid who hung out for a while!
This morning was exciting, there was blue skies and sun shine, yeah!!!! We started the day with a trip to Foxys and some shark teeth necklaces were bought! It was then a move around to White Bay for a beach morning, it was deserted so we got a prime place, on the way around we saw a beautiful boat
So here we are at the beach
We had a big morning on the beach, we had lunch and then we were back to the beach for more! By 2pm it was afternoon nap time for the younger kids, thats what sailings for apparently!!!!! I didn't get one of him napping, but here is my cute Cam picture for the day!
As it was so hot, every one had to slap on the sun tan lotion, B may have gone a bit over board
We eventually arrived at the Caves for a night of fishing, movies and the ladies are leaving Dad behind and heading to Willy T's with B!!!!!!
