Sunset over St John
Well we had a pretty productive and tiring day on the boat. Bazza went to St thomas to get more formica, as well as GET ME A NEW SNORKELING CAMERA! Hard to believe, but yep, I needed to replace that little one. I think I use it almost the most! I cleaned while he was gone and did laundry. Again.
I now have new formica in my galley, and I will take a picture of it once he gets the trim on again. It looks pretty good and nice and clean! In that vein I cleaned out the fridge and about everything else I could find in there as well.
We finally moved the tub tonight, all the way up to Watermelon Cay on St John. This is a couple pictures of the sunsets looking behind us... These were taken with two different cameras!
Then I fooled around in Photoshop and turned one of them into a watercolor type thing....
We are the only ones at Watermelon as well, so as soon as we showed up the silversides and Tarpon showed up in full force as well. The silversides were so thick you could just scoop up bait. The color was pretty pink and purple with them being so thick. There were many tarpon bunching them up and scooping up mouthfuls, not just one at a time!
He did have a tarpon on the line, but he only had it on 4 lb gear and it went right underneath the rudder and PING! Another night!
My mother convinced me to try garlic pills to help with cholestrol. I remember her telling me they were non odorous, or maybe she told me to get the non odorous ones. I have taken those damn things for three days now and I cannot even STAND myself. I smell, taste, and ooze and sweat garlic! The bottle now goes in the garbage. Remember, get non odorous garlic pills! Come to think of it, I could just throw one or two of those into my meals I am cooking and I won't even have to buy garlic!
We might wander back to Tortola tomorrow, if we get word that our car has arrived (it was supposed to be here earlier this week) and they said they would call, but of course, I am sure we will have to go chase it down.
