Half Price Sailing


Well the company just put up a heck of deal for anyone thinking about a last minute trip. All of our unsold dates between now and August 15 are half off. Check the web page for details.

Also for those of you on Facebook you can become a fan of CYOA here.

Last day on Jost. We're sitting in front of Soggy Dollar having a
couple bloody mary's listening to the surf and watching all the
charter boats pull out. What a great weekend!!

Happy 4th of July

Hanging on the beach in front of Ivans waiting for signs of life on
Cats Eye so that we can swim out to their boat and invade their
refrigerator for some breakfast. Nothing on Jost is open early or
serves breakfast so you're pretty much on your own for that meal.

My AT&T coverage is perfect at White Bay but when we went over to
Great Harbor last night I had spotty coverage and none at all in front
of Foxeys.

Some more friends are coming over this morning so today should be
larger than yesterday. Scary.

Well, happy independence day! Enjoy!

Well, we got an added bonus to our Jost trip. Friends of ours who were
also going to Jost was going to leave Thursday night and we were going
to meet up with them Friday after we came over on the ferry. Well, as
fate would have it, they ended up staying the night at CYOA dock, so
now we get to sail over with them!!!! WooHoo!!

Thanks Kirsten and Dave!!!!

Early Friday Beach Pic


Well, today isn't Friday but it feels like it since I'm off the rest of the week! Tomorrow is VI Emancipation Day and then Friday, is the observed Independence Day. So it's a four day weekend for me! Jay is off starting Friday, so he has a three day weekend. We haven't had that much time off together since February so I'm really looking forward to it.


I'm so excited about going to Jost for the weekend. We've never stayed on the island before so this will be a first. We've stayed over night several times on a boat but never on land and never for three days! Several friends are also coming over, a couple via boat, and others staying on land like us, so it should be a lot of fun. Also, Travel Talk Online, one of the forums that Jay posts on, is having a big party Friday night at Corsairs. It's a Hawaiian luau with live music. So, lots going on.


BTW - the above pic is Jost Van Dyke taken by Joshie from Virgin-Islands-Online forum. That will be our view over the weekend! WooHoo!!
