We woke up to seas pounding up on Guana Island like crazy! Lots of seas on, which meant although we could do our morning swims, the hike up on the top of the island was out. Could not get a dinghy near there! We debated, do we go left, do we go right, but in the end were very decisive and decided to go a direction that we had not been planning on going at all! Off on a spinnaker run we were to the Bubbly Pool on Jost Van Dyke.
I think we got all the important things in the picture here, all the guests, the spinnaker and the Swim Vacation Banner!!

And what a good looking group they were as well....

It was the upper limits for the spinnaker run, but we sure had a fast sail there! The group made their way over to Taboo...

And had biology lessons on the way, all about sea urchins...

I think Courtney is saying here "but, I'll get wet!!"

The Bubbly Pool was bubbling away and they all had a good time as usual...

Then they continued on their merry way...

To the brothel they go, to the brothel they go...

It was decided that a break was needed this afternoon from swimming, so the answer was White Bay for a little beach time. Some napped, some walked the beach (actually I think I hear that most napped!) Surgy on this beach as well....then we had the worlds best sail hitting 9.6 knots over to Little Thatch and Watermelon Cay!
We noticed pulling into the anchorage a cat from CYOA behind us with what looked like a tribe of people on board. We wondered how many people were on the boat! We did soon find out as one of the forum members from Virgin Islands On Line popped over to say hi! This is another good island forum, that seems to have a very close group on it. I am not a member, but I follow it as it comes into my RSS reader. Keeping on meaning to sign up as there is often questions I want to pop on and answer and then I realize I am not signed up..Sydney is the same age as my sister and has the same name of my sister (obviously!) and it was nice to put another face to a name. They were hosting a party for forumites this afternoon so it did look like they had tribes on board!!!!

They were telling me stories on their rescue of two divers on the Rhone a couple days ago, which we had heard something about on the radio. Guy is ok, but they came up on the deep end out of air and were exhausted. One apparently had a lung and a half full of water and spent the night in hospital. I would think that would mean a lung infection would come, but they are all fine!
While the guests have tablecloths and shrimp and lobster tonight (and they do look like a happy group as well)

The charter cook saved the best for herself for dinner...macaroni and cheese!
