"Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirates Life for Brent!" - a K2 version of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean theme songThe marauding, pillaging, and ravaging antics of pirate scoundrels doesn't quite fit, but the sailing part of a pirate's life would be perfect for Brent. He loves to sail! And, he's quite the nautical guy, hoisting the jib, rigging the mast, tacking to the left, tacking to the right, etc.
Half the fun of this vacation is watching Brent's excitement every time he's at the boat's helm.
Yesterday we left the Bitter End with Trellis Bay in Tortola as our final destination but we stopped at the Dog Islands for some snorkeling along the way. In Tortola we found a marginal place to go running, actually in a mango orchard, so at least it smelled nice. Our hope of finding nice souvenirs didn't pan out very well. I think the US Virgin Islands might cater more to shoppers.
Our evening at the The Tamarind Club in Josiah Bay was a fun last family dinner together. By tonight we'll all be off to different cities: Palo Alto for Andie, LA for Webb, London (in 2 days) for Paige, and Los Gatos for the parentals. The food was good but our waitress was cantankerous (nothing like our favorite chef, Kenetha).
It's sad to become so close to our boating buddies, Kenetha (aka Kay) and Tery (yes, that is how he spells it) and realize that our paths in life are unlikely to cross again. They've been wonderful hosts! In fact, we could never have done it without them! All hail, Pirate Brent (generous Dad/Spouse), Skipper Tery, and 5 Star Island Chef Kenetha!
