Another town day in Road Town
Where do the days go? The island has been quite dry for November, all the cars are looking very dusty (I notice these things since I have a vehicle!) We went to town this afternoon for the daily run to the banks to try and cross more things off our to do list. Today was a stellar day though, we managed to get business checks out of two banks!! Which was wonderful as we were down to Zilch...Of course, neither called me and when I was in Scotia to pick them up at 10 to three they told me I may had ordered them their but i had to go over to Fleming House to commercial banking to pick them up...which closed at 3! I question why they did not tell me that when I ordered them, but hey, it is the islands. At least I got some! My supplier can stop fearing now, I will be able to pay the provisioning bills for charter this weekend.
Noticed a lot of birds by the Dolphin Discovery Pen at Prospect Reef, so we stopped so I could take pictures.
It was feeding time for the poor dolphins, they appear to have quite a few in there at the moment.
This is a common pose for my husband when I have my camera out, sitting on the sidelines waiting for me to take pictures.
Then just to stop somewhere else that we have not stopped for awhile, we pulled into the new in the last couple years area at Brandywine Bay. There was an interesting tree there.
Don't know the type, but I liked taking pictures. There was lots of garbage cans there, but other then that it was quite a bit of broken beach furniture and condom wrappers and small drug bags, so I get the picture what it is mostly used for!
This is looking down the channel from the point there at sunset.
This is what my salon looks like. I did not know it was possible for us to store so much laundry on the boat and I am not sure where I am supposed to put it before we go on charter Saturday, considering since not really working that end of the boat for a couple years I have no idea which sheets go on which beds! Hopefully Dora, who cleans the inside of the boat tomorrow will have a better idea then me!
Noticed one other thing in town (to my husbands delight as he usually stays away from at least Bobbys from now to the New Years!) NO Xmas decorations and hoards of bicycles and blaring music outside Bolos and Bobby's yet! Maybe the economic downturn will take a hit on the Xmas decorations that Bobbys spends freely on every year and I keep on saying I will take the discount on the food instead...
It appears that Bitter End Yacht Club is actually laying off 36 of their staff by the end of the year, which is 17% of its work force. The front page of the BVI Beacon today had a quote from the Acting Tourist Board Director Hadassah Ward saying " The prognosis is very, very negative at the moment, and that is an international prognosis for tourism everywhere"
