Wednesday on the 2009 Trip

Wednesday - there were 15 boats in the bay. Rob and Bonnie were the early risers at both places and drank coffee until Steve and Sue joined them. We also worked on the dates that everyone had been down to the BVI. Steve fixed the breakfast which was his famous pancakes. After breakfast, Scott and Loretta left to walk to White Bay. They had lunch at Foxie's where they met a couple who had rented a dinghy in Roadtown and had driving it all the way to Jost Van Dyke. They met this same couple at the Soggy Dollar at White Bay. The couple was planning to take the dinghy back across the water to Roadtown after a few more drinks. Bonnie, the Aanes' and Rob snorkeled up from the dock. They didn't see anything special, except for a puffer fish that they saw swimming around the dock. The rest of the day was spent on the beach. Bonnie, Steve, and Sue did see a shark swim along the sand. Bonnie and Sue took presents for Jolene and Robert to Nadine. Leroy and his brother, Mikey, were brining in their fishing nets. Bonnie, the Aanes and Rob took a taxi driven by Ceto to Foxie’s where they started shopping the stores at Big Harbor. Ceto is married to Leroy’s aunt. He had been in charge of the building of the roads on the island until his back needed surgery. Rob ended up in a hammock in front on Corsairs where we later had supper. The bartender at Corsairs was Kenroy. Kenroy, his brother and his father had been the ones that years ago had taken us over to St. John's and brought us back with a refrigerator. We all remembered the concern that the refrigerator was going to fall over or into the sea. Vinny for the umpteenth year didn't recognize any of us. Our waitress' was Gee from the Philippines. She lived in Little Harbor at Abe's. Corsairs were put to the test when they didn't have Key Lime Pie.
