Tortolla Festival

Kya, Coleton, Will at the festival

Stilt walkers at the festival.  They were on anywhere from 3 to 8ft stilts and like 6 to 16 yrs old. CRAZY! Most impressive part of the festival

Not sure what the festival was really for but one Monday we went to Tortolla to check it out.  Had some margaritas and watched the dancers.  Here are some pics of the day.  We also stayed and went to see the Dark Knight afterwards.  Good day.

Preparing for a Tropical Storm

So there's the first one blowing in tonight....lots of wind and rain.  We were preparing Baraka Point and CocoMaya, well the boys were, I was getting groceries, and some of the wildlife came out to see what was going on.  Here is a Whip tail Scorpion that was found at Baraka and a meter long snake that was on our deck at CocoMaya.  Dealt with a bit today, two flat tires and getting a plug for those..errrg.  All before this big storm hits.  Bikes are parked inside the apartment and the laundry is down, windows closed. Think thats about all we have to do for our place.  We'll find out.  Here is a link to the storm watch website where you can track the storms.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ Its Isaac that we're looking out for.  Kim is in the Dominican Republic in a Yoga Seminar so she might get a bit worse hit of the storm than us in Virgin Gorda. Hang on tight!

Cigarette Boats

The motors sound like Harley Bikes! 

Everyone at the Marina getting on with the coolers of course!

No, we didn't buy one hahahaha. We did rent them though and jetted around the islands for a day and it was super fun! So much so that I think we are going to do it again this month for Aaron's B-day. You get a driver and if you act responsible he lets you drive for a bit ;) Mostly just a day of letting loose, drinks and swimming.  Fun....however I lost my shirt that day :( no didn't loose money actually lost my shirt which is so unlike me! Still miss it.
