Well five o'clock yesterday my buddy Paul called and said his sinus infection had taken a turn for the worse and he couldn't play the party. Well we thought the island Jumbies had done us in this time for sure. Fortunately the bar where we had the party already had a band booked to play downstairs in the smaller room prior to our booking. I made a quick cell phone call to the owner, who happens to be a friend of almost twenty years, and agreed to give him the money Paul was supposed to get if he moved the new band upstairs and we agreed to open the party to the public. Well our best guess is we had over a hundred people at the party. The "Replacement Band" was the Bar Stool Bandits. We have seen them before and they are always entertaining. From looking at the pictures this morning it looks like a good time was had by all. Our friends are the hardest thing for us leave here and it was great to see everyone. Two of our good friends that have sailed with us a couple times on charter in the Virgins flew in from New Mexico for the weekend just to come to the party. They didn't tell us they were coming, they just drove from the airport and walked in around 9:00. It was a big surprise.
