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.
The good the bad and the details. We are moving to St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. We will try to keep a rambling record for anyone that ever dreamed of giving it all up and moving to the Islands to learn from or just laugh at.

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.
