British Virgin Islands with Karen and Roy

     It's been a good year for trips to the BVI. In February, Roy and I took our daughters, Jennifer and Laura, to Great Camanoe Island. We rented Red Rocks Villa and had a great week. We traveled on my "39th" birthday and celebrated it all week long. We even had our flights home cancelled due to the Snowzilla but did manage to get home after some major hustling.

     Roy's birthday was in May and we celebrated at South Sound Villa on Virgin Gorda. This trip, we had our son George, his wife Yulia and the three grandkiddies with us. To add to the travel treat, our Virginia neighbors, Diane Evans and John Vocino decided to accept our invitation and experience life on VG.

     These land holidays were great but we were missing sailing. Our last charter was in May, 2009, and it was definitely time to get back onboard a boat, pump the heads, trim the sails, and visit all our fish buddies.

     We selected a Hunter 44' DS with 2 cabins from TMM for a January, 2011, trip. We picked this monohull as it is similar to the Hunter 42 Passage that we used to own on the Chesapeake, and it would just be the two of us sailing. That was a silly thought! We had an extra cabin and hated to see it used only to stow our duffle bags so we sent out an open invitation to our buddies to see who wanted a post-Christmas BVI holiday. Hmmmmmmm. Who would be brave enough to go with us?

     We chatted with Taya Mahoney and extended an invitation. Taya and I met on the first day of college back in 19- -.  She's married and has teen teenage girls. Her sailing background was on San Francisco Bay. Taya suggested our good friend, Sallie Bowen, would be a good cabin mate. Sallie, Roy and I grew up on Long Island and sailed Manhasset Bay and Long Island Sound. She owned a Boston Whaler and previously sailed in the BVI with us on Conch's "Silver Eagle II" back in 2005. She's an artist in Butte, Montana, and was definitely ready for a winter trip.

      We're all preparing to celebrate Christmas with our families this coming week. I'm presently working on our provisioning list and will submit it soon to Bobby's Marketplace.

That's it for today!

  2. After being in relationship with Elizabeth for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him,I begged him with everything,I made promises but he refused.I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell,I had no choice than to try it,I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days,that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me,I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again.Since then,I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need drakugbespellhome1@gmail.com the help of the spell caster,his email:you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything he also help me to win $500,000:00 for lotto game.I CAN NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT YOU SIR HIS EMAIL: drakugbespellhome1@gmail.com post by elizabeth
