April 10-12 Three days of fun in the BVI
As we rounded the southeast corner of St. John on our way over to Soper’s Hole, we saw a whale. Steve saw the blow off the surface of the water and within seconds, the whale blew again. It never did breach, but we got close enough to see its body at the surface of the water, as well as its dorsal fin and back above the water. Stuff like that is so wonderful.
We met MER SOLIEL and LEAP OF FAITH in Soper’s Hole to listen to Hudson and the Hoo Doo Cats at Jolly Roger’s. Although we were concerned dinner would never arrive, once it did we had sustenance for copious dancing. The band was great, and we had a good ol’ time.
The following day, we took Kenny and Kathy to the bubbling pool at diamond Cay. Low tide and no surge made the pool more of a murmur, so we played games/had dinner at Foxy’s Taboo.
The four of us spent the last night with LEAP OF FAITH at White Bay, Jost Van Dyke, and the location of the Soggy Dollar Bar. Lynne, Bob, Kathy, Kenny, Steve and I had lunch there, corralled under the watchful eye of B&L’s dog, Molly. After lunch, K&K, Steve and I walked over the hill to pay for our mooring ball at Ivan’s Stress Free Bar and Campground.
What a hoot! The walls, covered with seashells, murals made of seashells-coral-sea fans, plaques with clever sayings made out of the same, is a shrine to the sea. I highly recommend a visit to anyone staying in White Bay. The place is very “picture” worthy.
