Happy Easter Monday


Happy Easter Monday, originally uploaded by captainjay.

We've been having some crazy weather, lots of rain (which is good for the island, and much needed) but not so great for the sisters visit. She's only been here once before when we first moved here and it rained the whole time so she's not having great luck so far. We were hoping to take the boat to Jost but the weather just didn't cooperate so we took the car over to St. John. We had a few hours of good weather so we were able to get the obligatory pics from all the overlooks, hung at Maho for a bit and stopped at the smoothie stand. Turned out to be a pretty nice day.

Oh, but I did get an April fool from the barge attendant. When we pulled up to the ferry gate the lot was packed. The attendant asked if we were here for the Tortola ferry? And I was like no, we want to go to St. John. And she said, I'm sorry that was yesterday. So I said "oh no" and then she started laughing so I finally got it. There isn't a Tortola car ferry, doh! Happy April's fool day :-)

Happy Good Friday


Happy Good Friday, originally uploaded by captainjay.

Happy Friday! Been a rainy kind of day, which is good. We need it bad. But it never really rained on the north side. I stayed home and enjoyed the down time.

Today is Good Friday which is an island wide holiday. Government also takes Easter Monday to make a nice four day weekend. I'm taking a vacation day Monday since my youngest sister arrives on Saturday so it should be a fun weekend. Jay is supposed to have Monday off as well so we can do a boat day. My sis has never been to BVI so we're hoping to get to Jost :-)

Sapphire


Sapphire, originally uploaded by captainjay.

We have friends staying at Sapphire this week and so far they are loving it. I was looking forward to seeing what the condos look like since we've never been in them. They are staying in building E which is the last building, closest to the marina. They are on the first floor so you walk right out onto the beach and the sound of the waves are just awesome. It's a studio with full kitchen, one bed, one bath and sleeper sofa. There is a fake wall that you can pull out to separate the bed from the living area if you want. It's a little tight for two couples but they don't seem to mind (you have to get along really well lol). It's on a separate little beach so it's much quieter than the main beach. And it's just a short walk to the pool and main beach area so it works out perfect.

They got a rental car but I've been driving my car with them following me so that they can get used to driving. Yesterday I put 70 miles on my car going back and forth from my place to Frenchtown to sapphire... I don't think I've ever put that many miles on my car in one day!

Today another couple arrives that will be staying with us so the next week should be pretty wild lol. We plan to do some boating and diving if the seas calm down. It's been rough out so hopefully it calms otherwise our friends will be pretty disappointed. Jay has to work most of their time here so we're getting captain Gary to take us out on our boat for some morning dives. And then when Jay is off we can get the whole group out for a couple boat days.

Annual Redneck Migration



Well the migration of The Rednecks in the Caribbean has started. First ten of the annual visitors has arrived. This shot was taken this morning from one of them from the Villa they Rented in Upper Peter Bay on St John. Deb and I are heading over this morning to spend the weekend with them. Cookout today around the pool of Rotunda   then Sunday it's a BVI day aboard Born To Rumb

Over the next three weeks a total of eighteen of the Rednecks will be in and out of town here. A few at our place a group at Sapphire and the gang that's here now on St John. Should be  a lot of fun.

High Tech Red Neck Car Repairs

So things we have learned since we moved here. If you want it fixed fix it yourself. Along those lines I bought a scanner for the computer on our car and now I'm fixing that as well. New ABS sensor this morning.

Beach pic


Beach pic, originally uploaded by captainjay.

By request here is my late Friday beach pic. Went to water island on Sunday and had a great time. This was only the second time the boat has been off the dock since going back in the water in oct! Pure craziness! So needless to say it was great being back on the water and seeing all our water island friends. Twice a year one of the long line fisherman donates fish to Joes Beach Bar pot luck. So we had 200 lbs of mahi, tuna and sword fish. Talking about picking the right weekend to head to Joes!! Awesome fish and all kinds of awesome sides brought by everyone. Btw, joes beach bar is for sale. The owners are ready to head back to the mainland for awhile. So if you've ever wanted to own a beach bar in paradise, here's your chance!
