Sitting in Great Harbour this morning. Day 6 of our trip. We're moored right next to another charter boat with Zac Brown on board (one of our crew chatted with him at Foxy's last night). Feeling so very blessed that I'm here right now. Love these islands. Feel like I could stay forever.
PS: Zac listens to Ed Sheeran while chartering

Nice memory and experience. So many people in the spotlight enjoy BVI because the belongers keep to themselves and the tourists for the most part do as well. Such a great place to unplug.
Glad the trip is going well.

And that's how it starts CottageGirl...you'll be liquidating most of your "stuff" and buying a boat of your own so you can turn a week in paradise into 6 months at a time. We did  lots of folks have, and you can as well. Read our story here: www.svshirleyjean.com

Doc Holiday from the movie Tombstone comes to mind. That is a spectacular story. I'm sure of it, I hate you.

That is crazy! I will have to tell my brother. Last month he was trying to decide what to name his new boat and the runner up was Back in a Minute from the Zac Brown song Knee Deep. He ended up with Let's Play Two! and says that he still goes back and forth with wishing he had named her Back in a Minute.

That is so awesome!! That is my favorite band hands down. That would be a dream come true to see them in the islands. Heading down to our boat Cool Change on Saturday. Can't wait!! We will be listening to the Zac Brown band for sure. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Kenny C has a 34'Sea Ray. We were docked next to him at AYH for a few days. But, I guess he can buy any boat he wants. It looked like the same boat he did "When the sun goes Down" We were surprised he had a stink pot as he writes so many sailing songs.

we are a bi-nautical family, we joke that we have a boat for every occasion.... no wind=power boating day, tough spot to get into=power boat (less draft) , need to get down river to some of our favorite waterfront restaurants=power boat (you cannot sail in the upper Niagara River) ...you get the idea <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

Mine is also Island Song..."Down in the islands..." Love ZBB!
It's not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Here's how chill this was. We saw Zac & his crew jumping off the Bimini top of their Sunsail cat. At the bar, one of our crew mentioned to Zac that jumping from that high looked cool. Zac then proceeded to invite us to jump off his boat if we wanted to. How freaking cool is that?! (I found out about this conversation the next morning as we're leaving our mooring!) and actually I'm too chicken to jump from up there

I'm a blow boater too, but you gotta use the right tool for the job... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
