Dining off the boat at Giorgio's Restaurant at Maho Bay, Virgin Gorda!
I am not sure where the day has gone! I seem to have been in the galley cooking a mountain of food today, a mountain I tell you!!!
The guests took us out to Giorgio's in Maho Bay for dinner last night. All 18 of us!
Some of us looked like we were ready for bed, never mind dinner!
I am not sure what Brent and the boys were up to. Maybe doing the Macarena??
And all the girls wanted to sit with our very own LULU!
And how was the food and venue you ask? Nice, romantic, fairly expensive. I had the steak and it was nowhere as good as mine is on the boat, but the potatoes were nice and fresh and little! We had happy servers as well.
For those looking for live lobster, they have them live and bring the ones you order out to your table while they are still alive to show you. They were enjoyed by all.
You can drop off right at the stone dock and a waiter will light your way up the path, and then the dinghy driver takes the tender around to anchor it. It is a wonderful setting, pretty Italian, and all our guests and the crew enjoyed it. Lisa said she loved the Tiramusu and I had a nice cup of cappucino!
The next day was a big expedition to the Baths, and it was busy! Not a mooring ball to be seen and many boats anchored. I made Brent and Lisa get in the water so I could take some snorkeling pictures and they whined and bitched and squabbled the entire time! Lisa managed to do the entire thing with barely getting her hair wet!
They turned out really nice though!
Then it was time to return to our floating laundry ship which is even worse this week as we also have all the fenders for rafting up on the front decks and the banana boat. It is a busy boat!
Add on that someone fed the seagulls as well after lunch and, yes, we were looking a tad bit tacky But having fun!!
Took some pictures off my camera on our dive yesterday on the back side of Ginger... This is just up along with wall.
I have been lucky with the turtles this week, here is another one that posed for me yesterday.
Oh and what can I say, it appears I had an Eagle Ray swimming around me as well. Not one of my favorite dive sites. You can get some depth here, and the coral is pretty, but ever since I moved here a decade ago, I thought that the reef was pretty sterile, not a lot of fish, so it is nice to see the creatures, otherwise it would have been a pretty boring dive with one cowfish!
Up to Muskmelon Bay this afternoon and there was snorkeling, diving, sailing and resort diving going on! Richy found this weird fish. I think maybe it is a Scorpion Fish, but I have not looked it up yet. I have never seen one here if it is. maybe someone out there knows??
This is a big day, my blog is up before dinner! Yippee!!
We are up at North Sound, and no fishing action at all this week with it being around full moon. Definitely looking like summer out there! Hoping to hit the Chikuzen tomorrow, we will see!
