Just received this information: Delta is increasing the number of flights to STT
One more daily roundtrip flight between St. Thomas and Atlanta. During high season, Delta currently flies one daily roundtrip between Atlanta and St. Thomas.
- Two more weekend roundtrip flights between New York's John F. Kennedy Airport and St. Thomas. During high season, there is currently one nonstop flight between JFK and St. Thomas on Saturdays.
- Adding four more weekly flights between Atlanta and St. Thomas. These flights will land on St. Thomas at night and leave for Atlanta the next morning.

Now that is really good news!

It has been a chilly weekend here in Victoria (starting to remind me of fall and why I don't even visit here in the winter!). I spent the weekend, cleaning up the Lioness and speaking nicely to her telling her that we would be leaving shortly! I even oiled all the wood and might have had a tear or two! We truly wish that we could put the Lion on top of Promenade, right over our hatch, and then we would have the best of both worlds! Bazza asked if it would fit in my suitcase!!
My mother decided that I had been sitting here doing nothing at all physical for long enough and I was going to have a heck of a time for a couple weeks moving around the yacht when we get back (she is right) so I have been forced out of my computer chair in the morning to go for walks.

Bazza is still working on his project (will it ever be done?) and has now co-opted my mother into helping! Knee pads at all. He looked at his options, between my father, mother and I and decided she was his best bet as my father and I are on about the same level mechanically wise!

I am not sure what this look is! I might have picked something other then pink to wear though! Mom always said she wanted a screwdriver instead of a pencil when she joined the air force, so now is her chance.


Another thing my parents like which I never got a gene for is gardening, flowers and picking and canning fruit. Not for this girl! Mom has been oohing and aahing saying she want a blackberry stick so she could reach the high branches without getting prickles! Bazza surprised her and made her one.

I would love to let them in on a little secret though, you can go to Safeway and buy it!

It was an occasion to get dressed up this weekend, and this is my mom and dad, my father in uniform (he pointed out that he was wearing his nice shiny shoes from when he was in the Military and they were still nice and shiny!)

The boat is on a last minute type emergency charter, which means the charter guests had to share the boat with Lisa's brother and Brents Cousin, otherwise the guests would not have had a cook or a deckhand! so it is a very busy boat this week. Had an email from Lisa saying that her new crew might just shape up just fine! I laughed, good work, put them to work Lisa and you sit back. Does one of them cook I wonder???
That's it from me today folks!
