So far today is a washout

Hanging at the villa this morning. Pretty much constant rain since about 7:30 or so despite a very nice sky before that. Occasional thunder too, but nothing terrible. We may drag ourselves out for a drive over to Skinny's nd take the beach stuff in case the afternoon clears a little.

Yesterday was Maho. Not too many turtles, and the ones that were there were out deeper than we've seen them before. Water visibility was not great. But a nice sunny day that resulted in a bit of sunburn since I forgot my rashguard at the villa. Sandwiches at the beach, but drove out to the Tourist Trap about 3pm for our first time there. Very good nachos, drinks, and people. Cheryl and Larry are so nice. We had our anniversary dinner at La Plancha, which was awesome (always is). Jason remembered us from past trips and we made plans to attend their "dinner& a movie" on Saturday. BTW, Jason won the Iron Bartender trophy at Motu on Sunday...that guy can mix some amazing drinks.

At least it's a nice soft rain- a nice way to take an afternoon nap! Jason was amazing at the Iron Bartender competition as were the other finals Blake from Caneel and Brandon ( shot I just forgot where he was from). Glad you are having such a great time!

KT, yes it was a wash out! We made it our Mongoose Junction shopping for kids day! Still have to find two gifts for Sam's assistants. Never made it to Cruz today,but still need to go. Missing my KOJ coffee from Ruth's! Should have gotten more than one bag a few days ago! Blue Cheese Burger at Skinnys, just as wonderful as ever. Sitting on deck drinking Cruzan Blackstrap before dinner prep....yes, a rainy day on the rock is better than a sunny day at home!

Answered in your PM but for others who the info-

The ACC schedule is as follows and they folks there are lovely.
Sundays- Lind point trail hike 8:30
Mondays- walk at 8am and 5pm
Tuesdays - long walks at 8 am and community walks at 3 PM

We're here now and you're right, it's been a COMPLETE washout. It was light rain part of the time, but it was a HARD, LOUD storm for quite a while!

Hung out at the villa all day. I made grilled ham and Swiss sandwiches for lunch with a few afternoon cocktails. Debated several dinner options but finally drove into town and grabbed a Big G at Joe's Rum Hut. Pretty good burger. Rain had lightened up quite a bit from 6:00 pm on. Crossing our fingers for good enough seas or our boat day tomorrow.
