A great day on Jost Van Dyke...except for the flies!
I understand there was a Boston Whaler accident last night up at Biras Creek. Two people traveling to Gun Creek and one stepped away from the throttle and they were thrown out, Unfortunately, a young man died. I don't know any other details.
The wind has shifted and we had a great sail down to Jost Van Dyke from Guana Island this morning. I spent the time in the galley doing prep work, and apparently we were hitting 11 knots sailing down here!
White Bay was as pretty as ever and the guests spent a few hours in at the various bars...
Before we pulled up anchor and went around to Great Harbour for some shopping. As you can see, Great Harbour is nice and empty. The closed we have anchored here in a long long time!
Love the Pelican!
It was time then for another sail down to West End on Tortola for a bit of shopping for food and cocktail hour (margaritas and ANOTHER round of conch fritters! They like them!)
Our guests, since they had started drinking that morning at the Soggy Dollar Bar, just decided to keep up the fun and it was time for the shot game...Of course, only if everyone played!
We had a fun time, and even had a couple trick shots...
Poor Sammi was the winner, or loser, however you want to call it, with having to swallow about 6 shots tonight at least, everything from Jager to Bacardi 151 (he did not like that one here!!!)
Surprise though, I won the game!!! All 22.00$ of it and I only had to drink two creme de banane shots! THis was good as I still have to make dinner, which was steak and mashed potatoes tonight!
THe guys are fishing, looking for Tarpon, and I can only guess what the rest are up to. I love this picture of the three young ladies, lined up watching the two boys anchor. Of course, they may have been telling them how to anchor which would be about right in the female/male world!
