Jost Van Dykes Sloop, Josiahs swells etc
Happy Bunny Friday to everyone! I am having a web day. I have forced myself to put down my scrabulous games on Facebook and going to catch up on a whole bunch of "things" that I have to upload and put on my various websites. I knew I had a lot, but I never knew I would be at it ALL DAY! Everyone else in New Orleans seems to be partying, we can hear music everywhere and we are working. Come on, roll out the sympathy!
Lisa told me that they have picked up their new charter guests, and we have a few children for a change onboard. Apparently the newbie is having more fun then the kids! Now, that is just not right!!
They are filming a movie just outside our RV park here in New Orleans, called 12 rounds. Not sure who is in it! It is a boxing movie of some kind.
For those who are interested in viewing some of the video of some of the swell that came up our beaches over the last couple days, there is some video's up on a new site that is done by "Island Jim" who says it is for uploading and sharing video's on the BVI. You can get there here at BVI Video Online
Island Jim has been coming to the BVI for the last 18 years, and with longer and longer trips every year, he decided it made more sense for him to live here full time, which he did about ten years ago. Video is a hobby for him and he has plans to film the building of the Sloop Endeavor by the Jost Van Dyke Preservation Society through to completion and is also working on a couple documentaries of some local musical characters. It will be good to have a site that is easy to exchange and look at video on the BVI.
You can get to Jost Van Dykes Preservation Society for more info HERE
And for some pictures on the swell which managed to take away some phone booths and parts of the structures at Josiahs, here is a good link. Pictures of BVI swell
And for those coming down here who like to check what the swell and wind is doing, here is a good source for it, according to other charter yachts it is pretty accurate even a week out, which would be much better then the weathermen anywhere do! Windfinder forecast for the BVI
Just a few odds and ends that I wanted to put out there and get out of my "to do" box!
Those are about the cutest pictures of the children Lisa!! I am sitting here going "aw!"

Start of a new charter!
This morning we picked up our new charter, its going to be a busy one we have 5 kids, who are so sweet! Here they are arriving....
We have had a busy afternoon doing all the water sports we have! I think B has had more fun than the kids!! We started with some snorkelling
and then moved on to the banana boat, you might notice a familiar figure on the back of the banana boat, which is a brand new one by the way, this was its first official trip!
So B managed to get a trip on the banana
He caused a few falls I think, he had them all backwards, forwards.....
Then the big kids had a go to, the kids think they sucked! They spent a lot of time flying off!!!
Some of the kids had a power nap for a while....
B was crowd control
You can see him as a daddy! We have had dinner and we are doing various stuff at the moment from card to fishing!
