bvi captains log blog

For those who read Dear Ms Mermaid blog here in the BVI, she is currently in hospital and is not blogging on her regular caribbean weather site. She has been in the hospital for a bit, and I it seems to be taking a long time to get a diagnosis! Here is the link to her hospital blog.
I wish her the best and I know she reads my blog too, so please, if there is anything I can do, let me know.

Some days, they just go way too quickly. I turn around and POOF! It is time to blog again. We decided to do the uphill battle once leaving Roadtown today. We sailed for awhile and then motored the rest of the way to the Baths.
Simeon seemed to be having a little problem with the waves getting him!

Surprisingly, we could not find a ball at the Baths so we ended up anchoring behind everyone...It was lunch time first of all...

And then Brent and guests went ashore, so these are just random pictures of the trip through the Baths.























Then it was time for another nicer sail up to Mountain Point. Our big catch at cocktail hour was a brittle star, but we did catch a bonito tuna which became appetizers this afternoon!

Tubing for some went on until the sun had set....

Barbecued ribs for dinner tonight and ice cream...

The boys were fishing and had a reef shark on the line that just as they got it to the aft of the yacht rubbed on the bottom and snapped the line, but quickly again the fight was on!

After only about 30 minutes of fighting the had a 70 lb Tarpon on board! Well done, and way too go!!!

I also hear mention of a sting ray....
