At the car wash ...

At the car wash ..., originally uploaded by captainjay.

I got the car washed today (man did it need it) at the Fire Station in
Tutu (across from Tillet Gardens). For $20, they wash, chamois,
vacuum, armorall inside and out, windows inside and out, clean tire
wells, air freshner, and all with a smile. It's a fund raiser for the
station so the money goes to a good cause. They do it pretty regularly
so I will definitely be keeping an eye out for the next one. If you're
on island you should do the same. :-)

Pie Whole

Well, if you don't already know, Pie Whole in Frenchtown is our favorite place to eat. It's a pizza place, but not your typical pizza joint. They have gourmet brick oven pizzas with a well stocked bar as well as a nice wine and beer selection. They recently added a whole list of Belgium beers that are excellent. It's not a very big place, only like maybe four or five booths and 10 or so bar stools. So, sometimes it's packed and you can't get a seat (cuz it's sooo good). But, that's only happened a couple times. We're constantly posting pics on Facebook so I thought I would share some of them here. I also found their menu, courtesy of St. Thomas Source, that I will post at the end.

Friday Beach Pic

It's Friday!! It's been raining a bunch this week which is good for the plants and cisterns, but hopefully it clears up for the weekend. We don't have anything specific planned, but if Jay can get any time off, we plan on doin some boatin' !! Need some Time on the Water.

Have a great weekend!

Btw-this pic is from last Sunday at Lindbergh. Nice!

Time on the Water

Went on a sunset cruise around Hassel Island tonight. Jay had the day off and got a lot done on the boat. He filled out all the paperwork for registration and mooring permit so he had to come up with the name, and we hadn't really decided yet so he went with his gut.....Time on the Water.

Rain Rain Every Where

So it's been raining heavy all morning. This is a shot of the main
road in front of Banco Popular this morning. I am off and supposed to
be working on the boat. That's not looking good at this point. Back up
plan was to go to DPNR and do the boat registration. Well their office
is at the airport, the airport is flooded so the office is closed. New
backup plan breakfast and a bloody Mary at Tickle's to see what the
weather is going to do.

New Home

Well, got up early this morning and moved our boat to it's new home. I liked having it at the marina. Much easier to get on it whenever we wanted But that was just temporary since the marina is full. The last few boats come in today and probably tomorrow so no room for us :-(. We checked with Crown Bay marina and they wanted crazy money for our little boat, so that's out. We may check around with some of the other marinas but for now it's good where it's at. Nice view huh? :-)

Lost Puppy

Friends of our found this puppy and is looking for it's owner. If you live on island and know this puppy or it's owners, please let me know. Thanks.
