BVI 31's

Post by Mikey »

Just back from the BVI for our annual business trip . . . no really, we have a business there. Anyway, first three days on Anegada for some real R & R. Barbequed lobster on the beach, rum smoothies with little umbrellas to pile up in front of you so your wife can nag you about the number. Deserted beaches. So good it will make you smack yo mama, and keep smacking her until she drops your lobster. Charterd a boat to go from Anegada to Tortola and (now don't get ahead of me) yea, it was a Bertram 31. Captain Bozo, with a flybridge cruiser with small Yanmars (cruise about 18 knots) and, he swears, 10,000+ hours. They do look like it. After the season he is hauling her for a total makeover including 300+ Yannies. That makes ten we have found in the BVI. Went to Nanny Key Marina to check out a 1920's 80' beauty and from our vantage point counted five Hyena boats. There everywhere, there everywhere.
Now, back to work on Dreamsicle. Chiles, Prof, I'm home!

Randall,
Thanks. It's starting to look like a boat again. In the morning ordering 3K worth of wire. Of course I would get to this part when copper is at an all-time high. Oh, well, can't take it with me.
