We had fun with all our "gals" yesterday...I seemed to do a lot of cooking! I made oreo cheesecake that I did not burn for once lately!

And some nice buns for lunch and bread for dinner...

And for something totally different I made sweet and sour meatballs for dinner and they were DELICIOUS!!!

Brent is finally cracking. That is my camera lens cover on his head. He looks like he is about to break into Russian Dance!

We all enjoyed our few drinks together before dinner, Brent seeemed to make quite a few pitchers of beachcombers.....

And today it was back to Roadtown, arriving about 930 and then weighing the options for returning to STT, with the weird return tickets they had from their trip over. The best option turned out to be running like madmen to get the boat docked up on the ferry dock, asking the Fast Ferry to wait and getting them on that by the skin of their teeth!!!
We do have an English Navy ship on dock.....

Then it was time for a hot dusty morning in town. I went to post offices and stores and pharmacies and on and on! Ran into David and Fiona (who we bought Promenade from ALL those years ago) they still live on Tortola, Brewer's Bay and run the Coral Studio, so it was nice to sit and have coffee with them. David was telling a story today about one man getting very drunk on the boat the first night and losing his false teeth out the back hatches! No, they were never found, even though the crew spent hours doing a search grid pattern under the boat!

Our ladies from this week let me know they made it safe and sound to St Thomas, and we get a precious evening off! Which means that Bazza, Simeon and I go to bed with movies and Brent goes out with friends!!

Thanks for a great time! Never dreamt I would be the room mate of a "Master Stroker" Special thanks to Brent, Simeon and Bazza for all the excursions.

Wow, what a week you really know how to open your home to strangers and make us feel welcome. Had the best time ever. Will remember you Kerry. And of course, Bazza and one of the best crews ever. Simeon and Brent it would not have been the same without you. Thanks for helping build lots of great memories we will remember until we meet again, and do it all over again! SHARYL, CA

Thank you so much for a fabulous week and for sharing your home with us- magnificent! Not any good words to describe how much your hospitality meant. Sailing was spectacular, snorkeling one of the best adventures ever. Food "the best" You are kind, wonderful and fun hosts. I will definitely be back again, until then I wish you "Fair winds and Following Seas" Thank you from my heart CHRIS, CA

This trip has been the best trip I've ever taken anywhere! Thank you so much. NANCY, CA

A dream vacation! PEGGY, CA

This has been a trip of a lifetime. Far exceeded my expectations. Every thing was wonderful. Just the best, love you all. I'll be back!! JUDY, CA

YOu were all so wonderful to us. It was a great time for all. The boys were so darling, I just wanted to squeeze them! (Kerry insert here, now doesn't that just sound like your grandmother talking?) A trip of a lifetime. I loved the snorkeling and all the hands helping me in and out of the water. EVY, CA
