British Virgin Islands

I will start off this blog entry by saying HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to my mother! I mean to call you tonight mom, but if not, it is because i finished this blog entry and crashed! As usual the 24 hours of turnaround, did not go as smooth and was way busier and shorted then I longed for it to be!!!
B, had a turnaround like that as well, he tried to fix many little things, but I don't believe many of them worked! By the end of the day he was ecstatic as he had all the wireless speakers working though!! One thing to be glad of.

After all the fun and games of cleaning, we had to go do battle in the grocery stores as well. Sigh. We will leave it at that!
A girl who knows how to make Bazza happy is Janice, she arrived with her dive group today bearing GIFTS! Bazza got sweets. Go figure. You will see a picture of my present later on in the week!

Finally starting to get charters picking up on our dock, and it is FAR easier to pick up on our dock! Especially for this group, who were 11 divers strong, so we could unload the dive bags one by one and take them to the storage locker for the week and then we can repeat the process at the end of the week. It is a winner! They started arriving shortly after 11 and by 12 we had everything stowed away and lunch on the table!

We appear to have a few laughing gulls (who apparently followed us from Yacht Haven Grande!) keeping us company and laughing at us today. Really I think they are doing a mating dance though!

It was off to Beef Bluff for the first easy dive. there are three divers achieving their open water certification this week!



I wondered if Janice did one of those "mystery tour" trips with her group as to me it looks like they are diving in the arctic with all the gear they have on!

Need I say more??? How does he dive with that mustache!!!

Brent took a very glamorous picture of me in my hat...

and a lot of bobbing divers...

Janice getting ready to go in...

The brand new divers (still smiling!)

Simeon looking as cool as only Simeon can!

Entry!



The viz is better then last week. Not good yet, but it was better! Nice little crab in his shell...

I saw hundreds of starfish, which were not here last week...

The little wreck that is done there...

THe wreck had several Tulip Shells on it!

A couple southern sting rays came by...

More tulip shells...

Although these are really crappy pictures, it does prove that an Eagle Ray swam by as well! (complete with remora)



I met up with Janice, so we explored a bit...

This is exactly the color and the viz of the water, so it will give you an idea that it is clearing up somewhat..



After our dive it was time to go for a sail over to Hallsover Bay on Cooper Island, the guests just enjoyed the sail...



When we arrived at Hallsover, Cuan Law was already anchored where we were going to go, so we picked up a ball for the second dive, and I think this photo is captioned "how many men does it take to pick up one mooring ball??"

After the dive we moved to anchor off of Cistern Point on Cooper Island, although we had no takers for the night dive, they are saying that they will be diving before breaky...
Great sunset tonight, Brent Capturing Janice in it!

Oh WAIT, that is wrong, I think the picture B was really going for was Janice shaving her legs!! Naughty B!!

With a lot of guests and a lot of different food requests, this week is buffet for all meals...Seared Tuna tonight!

Everyone had dinner, a mudslide or two and it is bed time...
