It was a sad farewell to our St Marys crew, the week went far too fast! Yesterday was busy with cleaning the boat, then cleaning up all the salsa that I covered the entire saloon with, I have never seen such a mess in my life! Rich and I went out for dinner with friends who are leaving the BVI, we went to the Dove and it was fabulous (especially as I didn't cook it!) Our Texan men didn't arrive till late this afternoon, so we even had a lie in this morning, well we woke up the usual time, but we didn't get out of bed!

We made our way to Muskmelon bay and picked the guys up in the Bingo Bus, sorry St Marys, the name stays! While we waited for them to arrive we sat out on the back deck, the bird life was amazing, I have never seen so many gulls, pelicans and other sea birds in one place, there was a lot of fish about and a bit of a feeding frenzy going on, we took pictures but it doesn't do justice to the sheer number that were there



We decided to feed the birds to B's horror, he was imagining the amount of bird poop he was about to get on the boat! that brought up a huge horse eye jack and barracuda



Then came the Bingo Bus and our Texans




The sunset was spectacular



Also got a cute picture of one of the passing pelicans



and the first night dinner shot



The boys are all up on the back deck fishing, we caught a tarpon, but he got away, so we will see if they do better than last week!
