Boom, Boom... Pow
/Just finishing up our week long charter in the British Virgin Islands with a truly eclectic, charming, and downright hilarious group of 3 couples from Atlanta, aka Boom Boom, Pow....don't ask. They are all close friends on one of their many sojourns to the exotic places of planet earth of which we were lucky enough to qualify as, hosting them aboard for a week of sun and fun (ok a little rain..)
Apart from seriously laying waste to our liquor cabinet we collectively managed to empty the wine cellar as well!! Paradigm Shift is now an inch and half up on her waterline....We did find time to explore some great snorkeling spots, attempt some stand up paddle boarding (which did not end well....) and caught the Pirate Bean Show at Leverick Bay.. The girls dressed in pirate costumes supplied by Frederick's of Hollywood and have been censored due to adult content...
Meanwhile we invited Pirate Bean aboard for breakfast the next morning and were treated to a fascinating account of the good work he is doing in supplying school materials to needy students in Haiti
We hit some good restaurants (Corsairs in Great Harbor, Hog Heaven on Gorda) and beach bars, most notably Soggy Dollar and the wonderfully retro B-Line beach bar on Little Jost....We caught the Bubbly Pool on Jost when the North swell was running and all jumped in to the natural jacuzzi...with the exception of 2nd mate Tabasco who thinks humans are nuts anyway!
Turned out the best restaurant was Miss Bonnie's galley aboard Paradigm where we think she qualified for at least two Michelin stars! Everyone immediately enrolled in both Weight Watchers and Alcoholics Anonymous upon their return to the Mainland......We are looking forward to seeing these amazing people again hopefully in New England this summer..
