OK What day was i on? Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention we hit Duffy's Luv Shack and Hubby ordered the Shark Tank:P on day 3
You could swim in the tank it was soooo big!!
Needless to say i would not let him drink it all cuz you know someone has to drive 30 minutes back on the left hand side up the mountains in the dark and it wasn't gonna be me:D
Day 4: Got up around 9:00 and made breakfast and fed the cat, watched a movie and lounged around the pool until about 2:30p. Then i got ants in my pants, oops i mean bathing suit bottoms
So we decided to go try out Coki Beach-oops
We should have known not to go cuz of all the cruise ships in that day but nooo went anyway
Parked in the parking lot at coral world and made our way to the beach where we finally found a spot for 2 chairs,
so we planted our self's
Now mind you we were not gonna drink at all today but who should come up to us first
You get the picture!!!
Stayed their till about 6:00p packed up and made it to a restaurant called deanos on the north side
Hubby had fish and i had ? cant remember, must have been the you know whats on the you know where.
did make it to where our cottage was but decided going home was no good so we ended up in hull bay at the hideaway (Imagine that) closed down the bar and thank god only had to drive up the road to go home.
Day 5: Woke up late again (Geez i wonder why?) and had to be in Red Hook by 7:45 to go on our day trip to the BVIs. Great Trip
Left STT, went over to STJs picked up 2 more people (Total of 11 on the boat)
Now were off to Tortolla to check in with customs
1/2 hour later we got underway and finally made it to Virgin Gorda
I am so glad we had our Capt as our tour guide cuz he made going through the Baths awesome
We took the hard way (Think a Survivor Challenge)and made it with no more scars or broken bones-AWWW
Well worth the trip over
Next stop was lunch on Cooper Island population 15, no roads, no cars but they have a restaurant.
I had the Conch Fritters which were huge and hubby had the mahi-mahi.
What was nice is the capt of the boat took our lunch orders before we got their so we waited no more than 10 min for our food which was nice.
On our way to the next stop the capt had some good history of all the other little islands we passed(yes their is a real Dead Mans Chest)Very interesting
Next stop snorkeling at the Indians
We have snorkeled all over the Caribbean and let me tell you it was the best snore ling we have ever done, the reef is actually still alive colorful and great sea life
This trip was on the Stormy/Petrel and Pirates/Penny very much worth every penny!!!
On your way back to STT you stop at STJ to check in to customs and we opted to get off in STJ
Of course we made our way over to Woodys where we ran into a couple (Alex & Sherri) that was on the boat with us.
They were staying in STJ so they took us to different bars(No shocker their) Went and checked out where they were staying and went to dinner at Mango something cant remember the name right now
and we were back on the ferry to STT.
Actually went right home if you can believe that!

Ill continue with day 5 later

http://www.charterboat.vi/stormypetrel.html

That is the website for Stormy Petrel/ Pirates Penny, which I think by far is the best in my opinion. Only 12 people and quite comfortable.
