Caribbean Scenery and Fun!
 

Thought I would start a thread that we could post some misc. photos of scenery and fun we all have in the area. Residents and visitors alike. These first few are of around Saba Rock in the BVI both in the water and from our wooden launch.

Tiger Fun (not Cigarette)
 

These are pics a friend of mine from St Thomas sent me a few weeks or so ago of their fishing trip off the North Drop which is North of STT and Tortola. They had a big grouper on the line and this Tiger shark decided he wanted it. Swimming anyone?

Just a few more scenery shots I had handy. One of three octopus that live in the coral behind Saba Rock. The other two are beach shots from Anegada.

I can play this game. :evilb:

Hard to keep up with the best but we'll continue to try. I might have a shot or two to give you a run. db

He, he. We know you can Jay and we have been waiting !! LOL We know how you love the Caribbean lifestyle and look forward to you sharing many more spectacular pics as you find a bit of time.

I have many pics that I would like to share from my trips last year and again this year when I went " down island ". As I have time, I will post my favorite pics from Puerto Rico, USVI & BVI, St Maarten, St Bart's Anguilla, Antigua, FWI, St Lucia, the active volcano at Montseratt, and St Kitts.

Bring it, homey. :evilb:

where is that? that is f****** awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is in front of the "Chat n Chill" near Georgetown, Exumas, Bahamas on our way to BVI.

Few more pics of Chat n Chill. Talk about a cool beach bar !! Pics 1 & 2 by Bob; guest book pic by Jay. He has such an eye for things ! I did not even notice them till he sent me the pic. Amazing stuff.

Anegada, BVI
 

As mentioned I will post some of my pics of various islands in the Caribbean over time. This is Anegada. It is about 12 miles north of the North Sound area. It is really quite different from the rest of the BVI. It is made up of sand and coral and is not mountainous like the rest of BVI but flat and low lying. It is more like the islands of the Bahamas. The lobster out there at Cow Wreck Beach is unbelievably great. Enjoy. :)

San Juan, Puerto Rico
 

Old San Juan. Historic, quaint and beautiful.

Could you all not find any Bahamas beauties to snap some shots of!?!?

:lolhit:

Ah, Jay has the kind of scenery figured our your looking for. LOL
I have lots and lots of Bahama pics. I want to post up various Islands throughout the Caribbean over time and will get to it before long. I love the Bahamas. Some of of most gorgeous beaches and water to swim and boat in you will find anywhere in the world. And it starts less than an hour off the Florida coast and easily accessed. Stay tuned and yes I can mix in a few girly pics too. LOL

Hey Jay post number 4 the first picture, where is that?

I almost forgot - David's title was Carib Scenery and Fun so thought I would post some fun pics mixed in with all the beautiful scenery:

Great pics Bob and Jay... I love your threads as I almost feel like I'm there for a minute or two! :cool:


Bob, what's the beam on your 50, it looks pretty wide in that bottom picture???

9 ft beam and that day with 11 on board we needed every inch of it ! LOL This year on one particular leg of the poker run we had 14 on board. Too funny and too much fun.

bob your boat looks like mine on poker runs....when people wanna pay and have money I have a hard time saying no lol....I got an 8.5 beam and ran an 85 mile poker run with 9 people on board....and made money ;) ha

LOL for sure. Pay to ride ??? Make money ??? That must be a new concept that I had not heard of yet. LOL I don't mind a bit and am glad to share the fun. For some it is pretty special and even a once in a lifetime experience they will never forget. It's all good.

That was just once haha.... We can all wish and dream though

BBB, I don't think Jay saw your question so will answer on his behalf. That is the new Scrub Island Resort. It is just a mile or so north of Beef Island / Tortola airport. It was the first card stop and they were a major sponsor of the poker run. They dropped Jay of at the heliport and he rode with us the rest of the day. A gorgeous place but quite a departure from what you will normally see in BVI. You can pick up a 2 bedroom condo for just $ 2.5 mil LOL.

Thanks Bob, your trips look awesome

Peter Island, BVI
 

This mornings scenery pics are from Peter Island. Peter Island has to be one of the best if not the best in the BVI. Later in the day I will post some more fun pics. Surely some others have some pics they would like to post ?? I'm sure I'm not the only one to visit the islands with a camera. Lets see your stuff ! :)

Bob, thought I would throw up a map.... Looks like the closest island you can get to is Feeport? This is truely on our bucket list once we upgrade from a 31 to a 38.

Took the boat to Bimini, does that count?

For those of us not as fortunate to be able to island hop, may I ask why you feel so strongly about Peter Island? Obviously I have not been there...

Thanks. Actually the closest Bahamian Island is Bimini and does not show on your map. Bimini is only 55 miles from a point half way between Miami and Ft Lauderdale. Good launch point is Haulover Park. Good ramp and trailer storage there. The new Bimini Bay Resort is absolutely gorgeous and worth visiting. From Bimini east for about 50 miles is the Bahama Bank. It is only about 8 to 15 ft deep and that beautiful aqua colored water. Really nice. Then from there another 50 mile deep water but somewhat protected crossing to Nassau.

Here are a few Bimini Bay Resort pics. Laptop goes where Bob goes. LOL Gotta stay connected. :)

Bimini does count and thanks for posting. Beautiful pics.
Bob

What about the Dry Tortugas?:)

Here's the model when done

Been there to but does not count. LOL That is Gulf of Mexico. Nice pic tho and it is a very interesting place to visit just 70 miles W/ NW of Key West.

I figured that because it's still part of the US:)

Not much time now but short answer is they did such a nice job of building a high end resort and preserving the island feeling. Wood structures ( see pic ) as opposed to concrete and glass at Scrub Island, lots of vegetation and of coarse I like their hammock on the beach ! LOL

Gotta zoom in on MapPoint!

How come there's no Team Predator model throwing a roost up the coast? :D

No time. I did think about driving her back to FL but in the end decided to ship. It is much easier on the return w the easterly trade winds behind you but our summer is so short in Canada figured I better get back up here and enjoy it while I can. Seems like I have been away a lot this year. :)

Time for some more fun pics
 

I've met some great, fun loving people in the islands. Looking forward to returning later in the year.

Bob have you ever been to Abaco?
