Jost Van Dyke

Nestled among the USVI is the BVI, British Virgin Islands. We and some friends chartered a boat to take us to the BVIs yesterday, and let me say the Brits do it right. The boat that we were on was amazing. Big spacious and leather everything. It had two bedrooms, a tv, and a rocking stereo. the best part of the boat for me was I got to drive it back, of course he did not let me park it. The first sighn that we had picked the right boat was it's oregin, Portland OR. We had a great sail over to Jost Van Dyke and after a long customs experience, one of the people with us was Columbian, we mored of the beach and swam ashore.

The Soggy Dollar was the first stop, named because you have to swim to get there and your money is all wet, where they had this great ring toss game that I scored in only three trys. After a long nap in the hot sun we went on to Love and peace, or some thing like that, where we had this wonderfull treat, The Rotti. This is some chicken and potato curry something wrapped up in a tortilla, amazing! We then had to swim back to the boat because one of our friends had to be back to work by Six. As we motered back on one scew, to save gas, it takes almost $1000 to fill the boat up, the sun began to fade behind the horizon and people bagan to doze off. What a great day. Thankyou Kenny for puting the trip together, and a special thanks to Captin Adrian.

I want to remind everyone that the 12th of febuary is El Dia De Coconut. This is a holiday that me and Kellie came up with last year in Nicaragua. We were sipping out of coconuts and decided to make it a holiday. So no matter how rainy or snowy it is were you are drink a beverage, of you choice, out of a coconut and dream of sunny weather.

Wild Asses!

This weekend we were able to get a campsite over on St. John and were able to do a lot of hiking at Watermelon Cay and up to the old sugar plantation ruins. Pretty cool. On St. John the wildlife consists of mongoose, goats, and wild donkeys! The donkeys have no fear of humans as you can see from the photos, the only fear is the fear we have of them kicking us. It has been raining a lot and very hard the past couple days here, but at least we don't have to shovel it, and it is still 85 degrees. Car is still running, but we worry about its timeline every single day. Not really much to report. Oh, the sink is broken and spews water everywhere. Enjoy the photos, and we love you all!

The Bug

What bug did you find today? Everyday I get to ask Kellie that very question. Our little friend seen above found its way into the house, not sure how I have not seen any holes big enough for him, the other night. He began flying around in a frenzy. For all of you who have not encountered a R.O.U.S. roach of unusual size, it is frightning. They make a loud clicking sound as they fly irratacally, banging into everything, all you can do is duck and wave a shoe in the air hoping to kill it with luck. What I really needed in this situation was a karate kid with some chopsticks.

We had a wonderful Christmas dinner on St John at ZOZO's. Food was great, veiw was great, but the company was the best, Kellie. Thanks for all the love you have all sent us over the holidays. For all of you that believe in a higher power, pray for our jeep. We take it in tomorrow and it is going to need all of you prayers. While she is in the shop we are heading back to St John to do some hiking. I will try to get some good photos for you all. Till next time.

Yes that is a photo of my future boat.
