Scrub Island, BVI
Surfs up Snoopy! We woke up this AM to it pounding across the break between Sandy Spit and Little Jost. Most people would stay away but our intrepid adventurers took it as a reason to go surf it in the kayaks!
Yep, they were tossed a couple times...
We motored up around to Monkey Point afterwards, the swells were fine for that, but the snorkeling there was a bust. Everywhere on the north side is so churned up with the swell, you cannot see too much at all!
Off we went to Marina Cay thinking that we may be able to get a dive in there this afternoon, and they did and they enjoyed it. Silty, but they could see the lobsters etc. Scrub Island is not looking that attractive, but we managed to do some water skiing this afternoon off of there..
Here are a few pictures of the state of the island at the moment. I won't even comment.
They are sure building up a lot of land on the top, must be a house on the peak going up there...
The guests showed up for cocktail hour in their Promenade Tshirt finery tonight! Looks good guys...
Our Thanksgiving dinner was Ham and Roasted Potatoes and Apple Streusel Pie for dessert. I think we are all waddling around the decks, but the fishermen are keen at it tonight. We had three hits at the same time (just when I was getting dinner ready naturally!) and i understand that Bazza is playing with a tarpon on 4 lb line now, he will be in his glory back there if he gets it landed.
I will leave you tonight with this thought. It is moments before we finish getting dinner on the table. this week getting dinner on the table has usually been accompanied by catching fish at the same time. Things get a little hectic. Last night I threw the bbq tongs at Simba along with a fork that said what doneness the steaks were and said "I want them cooked" For some reason I am stuck with two men, one scottish and one australian who do not bbq. Simba almost has an excuse as he was raised vegetarian...but the Australian...I just don't know. He brings down the perfectly cooked steaks (said they all said medium rare which they were but he had forgotten to turn on the doneness fork! so they all said that anyways!) and just at that time I asked him the following. You figure it out what he thought I said and was not quite sure how to answer!!
"Do you want mashed or baked?"
