It drizzled all day in the BVI and our guests mostly napped on the yacht...
I think that Peggy was just about ready to burst out into a little dance here last night! It will probably be the most energetic picture you see in this blog entry...
Unless you count the incredible energy that B needed to shovel all this big breakfast into his mouth today, apparently I made an order too many. I have been quite enjoying the breakfast cooked to order routine, it takes me way back to the days in Canada when I owned a restaurant in Kincardine, Ontario and at first I was daunted by doing breakfast, but once you get organized it is easier then any other meal to cook. I used to own a Rotisserie Chicken and Rib Restaurant there called "Hungry's" Funny, I never thought that I would end up spending so many years cooking!! I obviously have had no problem with the eating part of it anyways..
It was a nice night in Cane Garden Bay, not too much rain, and some went for a walk on the beach this morning and some went for a snorkel before we pulled out to go sailing...This is LInda enjoying the sail,
And, well, the rest of the pictures tell their own story without me ad libbing!
Yes folks, this was our boat today! I am not sure how we wore the old folks out so much! Maybe it was the lemon drops last night!! There was quite a bit of wind and seas running sailing up from Cane Garden Bay to Muskmelon on Virgin Gorda, we sailed, tacked, and ACTUALLY HAD TO TAKE THE LIQUOR BOTTLES DOWN OFF THE SHELF!! That was about it for me and I suggested that motoring would be a good option! We lunched, one went for a dive, a few went for a walk on White Beach, and some, well they did some more reading and sleeping!!
We did perk up for cocktail hour (well Brent and I did anyways and sat up there telling stories...after I put my ham and potatoes in the oven tonight though! NOT before.. We had lemon vodka slushies and nacho's at cocktail hour tonight, and the nachos were kind of a stupid idea when I was making such a big dinner. However, they were quickly planning the ham and eggs and hash browns they were going to be eating in the morning. I swear breakfast is their favorite meal, they all come running from downstairs when they hear me go up to take orders!
I hear a bit of fishing going on on the back deck tonight. It has drizzled steadily for about 6 hours now! Lots of gray skies that is for sure!
Tomorrow night there is a FULL MOON Party at Trellis Bay, not sure if we are heading there or not (maybe if they manage to get more sleep during the day tomorrow we could make 10 PM!)

Sailing up to Cane Garden Bay, Tortola
It was howling a gale and raining in West End last night, we had everything down to keep the rain away...
We did try and fish for Tarpon, but that was a waste of time...George looks like our fearless leader at the helm, but i am not sure where he was taking us in the pitch dark!
These two pictures I found on my camera today! THESE are our dinner napkins! The girls probably had too much wine and are looking way too amused...bundling Dan up like a baby!
Aw, ain't he cute, although a little large for a baby!
We have come up with some new guest activities on board Promenade. George was happily sharpening his knives, and everyone else was watching him. I think I should put it in the brochures...
We checked into Tortola, and then spent the morning shopping and sitting at Pussers, before going out for a nice sail. It was a great sail, although the guests looked a little chilly bundled up in towels!
Some of our elderly guests just decided to miss the whole sailing part and go right to the nap, after all, they had been to shore and back!
Lunch was very late today, about 3 PM I believe!
I did bake some great bread though!!
The guests went for a walk on Cane Garden Bay, and there was NO ONE on the beach! That was NICE! They came back about 6 and I had to talk them into a cocktail game, but we have new improved versions of our shot game and it involves everyone, drinkers and non drinkers alike!
Peggy and Brent look like they are having way too good of a time!
We had non alcoholic shots, OR you could opt to take a piece of paper that had a little game you had to play, well you would have thought we had put Bacardi 151 in all those papers! The guests were more scared of those then of taking the worst shot they could find!
George had to sing us a song, from his piece of paper and it was something about hemorrhoids, in a large booming voice. I am sure he did not learn that in the church choir he belongs too!
Poor man did go from " I am not playing as my stomach is upset" to "pour me another lemon drop" and managed to drink half the bottle and won the game!
Our fearless Captain Bazza, has sucked at this game lately coming up with multiple sixes often!! By the time we finished this game, that everyone enjoyed very much, it would have been about 10 PM when my dinner I had planned for tonight was ready, so we made a quick change and had chicken alfredo instead tonight, which everyone loved...
One thing I have noticed is that our "day bar" seems to have really grown this week! I don't think they are drinking that much, but then again, I do appear to be throwing a fair number of bottles in the garbage!
No rain tonight in Cane Garden (which we usually call Rain Garden) and still and sticky as can be. Hoping to get out snorkeling tomorrow! It was a good day!!
Look at how cute our granddaughter Ella, and son Wade are together! I love the fat little cheeks she is getting!
