SATURDAY MAY 16TH – MINIMAL REGATTA AQT THE BEACH BAR
Ssssshhh. The silence of the island is over whelming with nothing but a few roosters and other birds chatting away. Here it is 5:30 AM and I am up and chilling on the front deck just taking it all in. Did I mention I was an early bird? I didn’t think so. Well, I am. Taking this in on my first morning was unreal as I was just in my glory. Out of nowhere I start to chuckle like a little kid playing with a jack in a box. The slider door opens and out walks Nicolle. Hair everywhere, pillow imprints on her face, and some tired looking eyes. Man is she beautiful. How did you sleep last night honey? She looks and smiles at me and says “like I was in heaven”. She asks me why I was out here laughing and I simply answered because for the first time in a few months I actually realized that I checked my problems at the door. It is all behind me right now as I am where I need to be. She answers with “its good to see Mike back again.” That little statement from her was very important to me. She really is my rock and keeps me in check.
NUFF WITH THE MUSHY STUFF ALREADY!
I took my daily 6:00 AM walk down to Cruz Bay to grab a cup of coffee from MoJo’s. I have to have my coffee in the morning. We hit JJ’s for a quick breakfast and then picked up our jeep at St. John Car Rental. Of course on the way to JJ’s a chicken crosses the road in front of us. Nicolle stops us both instantly and looks at me with a serious face. Out comes “why did the chicken cross the road?” I just laugh my butt off with never answering the question. Hit the market for some steaks and other misc. items and back to Lavender we went. We basically hung out at the pool until about 12:30 and got ready to meet sun4mysoul and her crew down at the Minimal Regatta.
Here we are at the Beach Bar and we got beers in hand. We walk right out onto the beach and there is sun4mysoul with her crew which is dubbed the TITS Tour (I’ll let her explain). I walk up to her and say are you Steph? Boston Mike here, nice to meet you. The introductions took place and we all hit it off like we knew each other for a long time. Nancy and Ron from VIOL then joined us and we basically hung out and watched the regatta, and drank, and drank, and did I say we drank. Ron, well he was out running around with someone else’s camera taking all kinds of pictures. I was excited because I had this new fancy video camera and I was ready to get some footage. Did I? Um, a little. Well let’s say a ton. I got little of the regatta and a ton of crotch and feet shots as I forgot to turn the camera off in between races. All you can hear is us chatting away and Nicolle playing waitress as she was making the beer runs. Yes, I am an Idiot. I know that. Somehow our conversation turned into “shit in a bag”. I’m sure sun4mysoul will fill is in on that one (insert evil laugh). Nancy and Ron went on their way and Nicolle and I and the TITS Tour decided to grab a bite to eat at the Banana Deck.
Lunch at the Banana Deck was good. I forgot what I ate, but it was good. We all sat around chatting it up and getting to know each other more. Joe (yes, the ones Steph had us stalk at the airport) couldn’t get the Painkiller name correct. He kept calling it the “PUNISHER”. I’ll take 10 of those. So what happens when you drink all day? What really happens is you become friends. Really, they are all a bunch of really great people.
lefdt to right Joe, hilary, Scott, Steph, Nicolle, and Mike
We said our goodbyes and headed over to Woody’s for happy hour. They were running The Preakness that day and Woody’s was doing a pool. Nobody wanted the last horse so another group of people egged us on to take it. I shout out, hey I’m jobless and got to spend my money wisely. So we take it. CHA-CHING! Yep, we won $130 and feel great because the day is now paid for. High fives all around the place and Nicolle still screaming out wooooo hooooo…..wooooo hoooo. Man is she the bomb!

Really funny story at Woody’s and not all that bad. Just idiots being idiots. Lets line this story up a bit if we can. If you have ever been into Woody’s there is that hallway the leads to the bathroom. That hallway has a pay phone in it. Well, there is this couple there and you can tell they have been at it all day. They are all over each other and sitting at the table just in front of the hallway. She decides to get up and start posing in this hall way. Doing all kinds of poses and he is enjoying this. Well, everyone in Woody’s is enjoying this. The phone was used as a prop at some points. Here comes the big finishing pose. She bends over (clothes on) with her head toward the bathroom door and starts shaking her butt for her man. He is all excited and dancing around. That bathroom door was closed which meant someone was in there and had to come out. He he he he…ha ha ha ha..Remember the old Batman show with the fancy word call outs describing the action. The door flys open and BANG! Lights out baby! Yep she hit the floor after getting nailed by the door. Not to be mean or anything but when that happen everyone in Woody’s let out a loud OH. Don’t worry folks, she was ok.
Finished up at Woody’s and decided to head back. Stopped in at the Beach Bar and it was nice and quite in there so we decided to just sit and chill and have a couple more drinks before we headed back. Just sitting there and I hear a “I know this guy” and feel a little tap on my shoulder. It was JCLAMPET from VIOL. Boston Mike he says and I respond with a “nice to me you clampet”. I knew it was him as we have been chatting with each other prior to going down. He introduced us to his wife Jody. She is sweet little thing and they are both very nice people. Basically sat for a little while and chatted with Jim and Jody. Called it quits for the night and headed back to Lavender to put day two in the books.
Mission accomplished. Steam was blown off.
Good night John Boy!
