On to Willy T's and the next charter group!
We seemed to have a lot of work to do for turnaround considering we had someone in to clean the exterior and the interior of the yacht! I downloaded all my weekly shows and made it through about two of them before falling asleep. This morning was a rush as well, as I had to go get quite a few supplies that did not show up in my food order, but at least it is easier with a vehicle! I took the car to town and the guys brought the boat down to Village Cay, as we were picking up the guests there... By the time the boat arrived I had the laundry from turnaround, a cart of groceries, lots of luggage and guests all gathered up and waiting on the shore!
I thought my "boys" looked quite nice in matching yellow!
Most of this group had been on the boat about 9 years ago. I was struggling to put faces and names together even after having looked at pictures from the long ago trip on here! Hours into the charter though it is all coming back. There seemed to be quite a few "mishaps" the last time they were on board, from rope burns, to corneal scratches, to guests falling in the engine room to A/C not working very well, surprising they came back!
They made on of their members where a sign that said that he would not fall on the boat this time as last time he not only fell GETTING ON to the boat, but also fell into the engine room! From the cockpit! Don't ask why the engine room covers were off in the cockpit. He said I was a great nurse though and came running up with a dirty dish towel to stop the bleeding! (I don't think I ever put medical smarts on my resume. My idea of medical training is to scream loudly for my husband!)
We had lunch underway while sailing down toward Willy T's on Norman Island...
Some, could not quite figure out whether they did not feel well from the sailing or from the very late night at Le Cabanon the evening before getting on the yacht!
After a snorkel at the Caves we went around to anchor behind Willy T's and all our guests, were promptly rewarded with groups of men and women jumping naked off the top. No jumping must have fell by the wayside somewhat.. Always nice when we can provide nude entertainment for our guests (without it being the crew!!)
These guests tell me the last time they were on was just after a boat show and a couple days before "left hand Lenny". They also said that there was Grahame, Me, my son Chad and his friend Chris (who were the entertainment department I understand), Scott, (as dive master) and the first couple days also my sister Sydney was on board, who at that time was running the office for me in the states! HOLY COW! I had 6 crew on here at the time!!!! I am sure that was not a profitable time!!!!
I seemed to have a hard time getting them to the dinner table tonight, so one of them started without them.
I eventually got most, but one was a soldier missing in action! (I am sure it was seasickness, not being hungover!)
You know it is going to be an interesting week when they are comfortable enough to start wearing napkin rings for earrings on the first night!
Followed by straight into the games of a drinking variety...time for me to go to bed! Manana!!
PS: I finally this past Thursday managed to get my funds released from the credit card that I closed down. It only took 50 days!
