"Make Believe" Trip Report
DAY "WHO THE HELL KNOWS?" OF OUR TRIP REPORT
Apparently most of my travelling companions are much more accustomed to this pace than I am, but I had to try to get some sleep last night. Unfortunately, there was a big storm at my villa, and I spent most of the night on the couch in case we needed to take cover and comforting my dog who believed the jumbies were blowing in on the tradewinds to eat her alive. (Yes, the villa owner let me bring her and told me if I had any children or sheep under the age of 8, that they were welcome, too. Jorge, take note!)
And, after some fresh, hot coffee, delicious waffles, and leftover shrimp wontons, I joined the crew. So, to pick up where Salty and the others left off, we all boarded the jeep cam to motate (I'm stealing this word for awhile because I like it.) to the salt ponds because we'd heard there was a recent grizzly bear sighting in the area.
When we arrived, we asked some of the local residents where we should begin our search. They seemed a bit confused
and asked us if we'd been talking to Jimmy who lives on the boat in front of the Beach Bar. We told them no, that we'd seen it reported on VIOL, so we knew it had to be true and demanded to know where to find the bear. They could tell we were becoming agitated 
and offered to make us all the fruity mixed drinks we wanted to calm us down. We said "To hell with the bear!" and off we went. The next thing we knew...

be amature movie makers. We started out with good intentions but soon ended up on Salomon. Our good intentions went out the window with our 20 empty bottles of rum.......Saltydog wrote:.....The 'On St John'.....Jeep Cam......that can actually hold many people (50 to 100 depending how many coolers and bottles of rum they are carrying)and could hover above land
as well as maneuver the rugged terrain and precipice with ease
... ...everyone was so excited...now we can 'ALL'...........

The rare carribean grizzly must have smelled all the great fruity drinks we were drinking because he just wallowed into the bar. Scared the $hit out of us until we noticed he had no teeth. The locals made him a big pitcher of painkillers and all was good...

I can't imagine what all those yachtie passerbye's must have been thinking. The beach must have looked like a yard sale as they sailed on by. That's right, everyone had gotten nekkid and were skinnydipping at Solomon.We needed that treasure chest of gold back, as the fines were going to be heavy if everyone got caught. Now what, it seems like part of the group is swimming toward that large boat. I'm not sure, but it looks like they're planning to go aboard. What could they have in mind?

It is Kenny Chesney's boat and the SIX on the beach are the first ones there, especially VaGirl and Cypressgirl. Then you won't believe what happened next!...
well, how shocked they were to find that fellow forumite, b-as-u-r, was already on board with Kenny and they were on their way to Jost for some rum drinks at Foxy's. No one could have predicted what was about to happen next at Foxy's
