charter yacht

Well it has been hectic again today, diving, sailing and a trip to the Baths!! This morning we started with a dive, I headed off to Cistern Point with my champion divers, it was rather fabulous, horse eye jacks, juvenille barracuda, pomento, some big barracuda, the kids are nearly as good on air as me!

The Big kids headed to Wreck Alley, the dive sounded spectacular, you will have to wait for pictures, Rich is busy and I don't touch his camera!!

We had a sail to the Baths and I finally got my brother to pose for a picture with me, I nearly got him smiling!



There was relaxing



and more relaxing but wetter





There was a big explore at the Baths, B and his cousin had a really good explore and came back all scraped and bruised!

The action continued with a sail over to the Chimney, where we did dive number 2, as spectacular as always, then to our final resting place in the north sound for the night!

We have had the busiest day today, we have dived our little hearts out and fitted some land stuff in to. First thing we got our newbi divers in the water and off on their first dive, they have done it before so they were all super!!



I'm not sure if she is scared about the dive or B! They all did a super job though. It was then on to the Fearless for our certified divers, I have never seen it so clear there, pictures by Richie









It was this big



We had a quick break for lunch to replenish levels and then we were straight back to it with a dive on the Rhone















I love this shot, he looks like he is smiling





An upside down safety stop.....



It was then on to Salt Island for some shore time, some one kindly offered to baby sit the beers.....

\\

B went exploring with his cousin





Nice shot



It was a beautiful sunset, while we cocktailed on to Cooper

So the boat got cleaned, stocked and ready to go, so off we boldly went! This week we have 11 and they want to do some diving, so the crew are always happy!

I did have the traditional arrival pictures, but Richie deleted them!! so I will continue! We headed to Little Harbor and had an afternoon swimming, snorkeling, diving and kayaking, beautiful afternoon, just hot, so the best place to be is in the water.

We had a sunset wakeboard, apparently all the kids were pros on their first turn







B's cousin Ryan arrived, he is everything B said he was, taller, better looking and better at B's job, if only we had known about him before Kerry!!!!! (Only joking B you know we love you!)

Here he is with a floozie



and first night dinner before Richie deletes them!

A sad farewell to our guests this morning, we had a great week with the family, sounds like they had a pretty good time too.......

"Lisa, Rich and Brent, This was a fabulous vacation! We appreciate the extra attention and effort from each of you. We have not been cared for any better than this. A special thank you for certifying the kids and reviewing skills for us rusty old divers. We experienced sea life that most people only dream of. We had a blast!"

Thanks guys!!

So to cleaning and stocking the boat today, on a more interesting note, some excitement today, my brother and Brents cousin arrive to join us on our charter tomorrow, we are off to meet them at the airport tonight.

I also have a few more Richie pictures from yesterday!



A cleaner wrasse on a bar jacks nose

















Nice job Richie!

Ok third time lucky with the blog, if it doesn't work this time i'm going to bed!!

Last night I sent Richie upstairs to get the dirty dishes, 10 minutes later he was missing in action, I did find him ( I believe this is the extra guest syndrome Kerry!!)



Today was our last day so we had to do everything and I think we did a pretty good job! We shopped at Soapers Hole, sailed to Norman Island, caught a fish on the way



The caves were deserted by boats, but the seagulls were plenty!





We snorkeled, dived Angel fish, sunset water toys and a night dive to top it all off! The only thing they haven't done is a trip to Willy T's, they were all keen earlier in the day.........

Another lazy day, today we went beach hopping! We started in Cane Garden, sailed on over to Sandy Cay



we got a hitch hiker along the way



I went ashore to Sandy Cay for the first time ever, I explored the Island, got eaten alive by mosquitos, but it was fabulous, spider lilly flowers, birds, land crabs, lizards galore, wish I had my camera (Mr B!)

After lunch we headed to White Bay



Busy but pretty! The group power lounged, some made it to soggy dollar, before a cocktail cruise around to Great harbor, Ashley enjoyed her cocktails so much she wore them!!
