And all good things must come to an end!
It seemed like only hours ago that we were at this dock picking up this group, Now we are waving good bye and the wind is still blowing! I have never seen a cold wind blow for so long down here.
Our guests school ground past was coming out as they all sat diligently filling out their departure cards for customs this morning. I do have to admit that i don't think I have ever read the surveys on the back and when it asked if they came here for golf.......
Well, moving right along, I think they filled out nice things like my boat is the best in the territory! You know that stuff!
Last time they left there were tears and I have to admit that I had a few well up in my eyes as well this week. It was really a spectacular week, once I got over the shock of an alarm clock getting me out of bed at 730 and no steakhouse around the corner! Seemed to be big smiles in the dinghy though!
They had some nice things to say about us, or wait, no really, I think it was about Brent in the guest book! I am sure he cooked the ribs too Lisa!
"Another fantastic trip, I even managed to ride the big waves and survive! Once again, thanks for your superb attention to Bills needs You are the best!! Enjoy your RV time on those off weeks and BE GOOD TO Brent (aka Bruce) or we'll have to come back and rescue him! We love him! Thanks Thanks!!"
"A phenomenal week, Can't believe it is over! Boarding last Sunday was like coming home. Many thanks!!"
"Can't leave, missed one of Smitty's top 10 spots. (Come on Smitty, I think I was about 14 out of the 20 for the favorite spots! I did pretty good!!) Awesome vacation, like a bad penny we will be back. Thank you so much"
Yes, it was very enjoyable, but I do have to say that for me, I think it is more fun when Lisa does most of the work and I come along as ballast! You become so close to people after you spend a week with them, and lets face it, which other boat is there that the crew spends the week in their nightgown! We are unique!!
Took a picture of Pussers in the sunlight...
And there seemed to be three cruise ships wandering around the harbor this afternoon.
AND this large mega yacht on the fuel dock at CSY dock. I did not catch its name, but it is almost a cruise ship!
And just for Lisa, about 12:08 we had the salon back to looking like a computer room with switching the coffee table with the small table from upstairs!
I just about died of a heart attack when Brent said to me "you want the ice maker off when we are not on charter right?" and told him that if he touched my icemaker I would kill him! How am I supposed to make blue drinks???
Bazza is being treated like a leper with this cold he has picked up and I think it is time for an early night!
I did get a nice email from a lady near San Antonio today (Pam) who has booked to come on the yacht next May...This makes a lot of groups coming from that area lately!!! From the time of her first contacting me to confirming the charter was about, oh less then 48 hours and so I asked her WHY she chose us! This is what she told me, and yeah, it made me feel good so I thought I would share it.
"As to how we found you, actually we were going to charter the ketch, “******”, turns out her Captain is a cousin of a friend of ours and she turned us on to him, during the process my husband started googleing BVI and your site popped up with “info on BVI” he dropped you into the FAVORITES on my lap top. While we were in Tahoe we discovered that the ****** can only take six and all three of our children and their others said they wanted to go. Due to this we had to drop our plans for the ****** and I clicked on his “link” to BVI to look for another boat, when I saw that the link was actually a dive charter, my sons eyes lit up …I looked through your site and fell in love with everything I saw ….the rest is history! You responded immediately (which I really like) and had the answers to all the questions I had ….guess it was destiny!"
It just came together really well between us and her son is a great photographer! I looked at his site and he uses the camera you just paid an arm and a leg of Lisa's money for Richard...
Colby Brown Photography I hope they don't mind me putting up a link to his site, but there are some really nice pictures, from all different corners of the world!
Do you know that neither Bazza nor Richard GET a paycheck on here?? They both come in the girls names!! In fact, I constantly tease Bazza that he has not brought home a paycheck since I met him! I am not sure he sees the same humor in it that I do!! So Richard is actually getting very nice presents from Lisa when he gets cameras and the like! I heard from them today and it looks like they will be home about next Saturday night. I wonder then if Richard will take the VAIL snow report and screen savers off the boat computer! If they have figured out where they are going for summer vacation at least we will get different pictures!
HEE HEE!
