BVI's Sailing Trip: DAY 9 Guest Blog Post

Today we left Cane Garden Bay and headed over to St. John's Cinnamon Bay where we became illegal immigrants for a few hours.  From there we headed over to Great Harbor on Jost Van Dyk and the world famous "Foxy's Bar".

Mike and Marc wanted to do a guest blog post so with my bad night last night and my even worse morning, I thought today was a great day.  I also promised I would not edit one word of it.  I am sure I will be their topic and butt of their jokes.  Kick a man when he is down!  Yes I did missed the dinghy and landed into the water getting off the dock at Foxy's with my new camera.  The camera is obviously gone, but I did get some pictures off the card from the night!

Until the Lines are Untied Again!

Marc Said......
It is nice to say we had a "Hangover Moment" in Jost. Foxy, a local celebrity welcomed us on the dingy dock with his guitar. At dinner, Joe, our waiter/bartender picked up that we were lonely. To young hot ladies from Cali entered the bar, Joe made a proposition: "if you sit with those guys they will buy you a drink". With Foxy's magic, one drink turned into several and an offer to get into their car and head to the Soggy Dollar (which was closed). Picture three guys each over 200lbs sitting in the back of a car no larger than a smart car. Ended up in White Bay shuffling our feet so the sting rays do not get spooked. We are allowed to write this segment since John physically was with us but mentally was blacked out. After a nice swim and a long talk...we proceeded to watch John enter the water and disappear into the depths around midnight. Once found and concerned on John's well being we were driven back to Great Bay to watch St. Louis come back and beat Texas. John was toast so I took him in the dingy which he proceeded to walk from the dingy dock straight into the dingy and continued to walk right over the side. After help from Joe, the bartender, we got the beached whale into the dingy, motored out to Varekai where John decided that he would get off the dingy before docking. Mike who eventually came out took over babysitting, I took off back to Foxy's so Mike has the continuation.....

Mike Said......
Michael here....to continue, john got back on the boat, took a shower, was walking down to his cabin and fell down the stairs. screaming in pain and laughing about his shoulder, knee and head. needless to say that john didn't have a pleasant "next morning." riddled in pain and a severe hangover, john destroyed his camera, his shoulder, his head and his ego......other than that, our trip has been outstanding, great snorkeling, great sailing, great meals, great views and alot of laughs.......not to mention skinny dipping with a girl that looked like she was right out of the pages of Playboy Magazine. i just want to graciously thank John and Marc for a fabulous time and alot of laughs. can't wait to do it again.

Cinnamon Bay on St. John.  One of the best days of snorkeling.
We stopped off here for a few hours before heading over to Jost.

Mike setting the jib to ensure we got the most from her.  Most days
we had a nice 15 to 20 knot breeze.

Most people have heard about Brokeback Mountain...Here is
Boobeyback Mountain.

For visual purposes, this is Foxy's dinghy dock.

We found Marc a new boat.

happy hour.

Is this really Foxy himself?

What is said or done on Jost, stays on Jost.

Marc thought he was funny.  This was the last picture taken
from my camera.  All other evidence is now gone.
