None of the pics are showing. Upgrade to a paid membership and you can attach pictures and not have to try to hot link them.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. I've been to USVI 3 times and BVI once and loved it. Diving in the BVI is incredible.

BlackJack58 05-27-2008 09:35 PM

Wow - those are some beautiful shots! Thanks for posting them...definitely makes me want to go there.:cool-smiley-011:

Expat 05-27-2008 09:42 PM

francis, great pictures. the pics i have so far are not nearly as good. keep em coming if you have more. i went looking for you guys right before we took off but couldn't find you. i had two extra spots open at the start. filled them at the second stop. by the way, we started at about #50 at the second stop and blew past all to be first around steele point. then that damn skater caught us at the sopers hole bouys. truly great time. :cool-smiley-011:

Awesome pics! Maybe I should find a way to ship the Fountain down there in a month rather than taking a sailboat!

couple more. had to take it easy on new engines but good times. :cool-smiley-011:

Gorgeous boat, David!

Couldn't Branson afford something a bit better????

Expat 05-28-2008 10:15 AM

branson-you know it. but, he is a whatever works kind of guy. he has at least ten boats at necker including probably five ribs and a midnight ex cc with diesels. he more about getting there and having fun.

your fountain would be a blast down here. if you want, when you get down here we'll meet up somewhere and take a spin in the tiger-to blow the sailboat dust off. :cool-smiley-011:

Black 42 Tiger is the bomb.......looks like the boat Aerospeed traded to Shogren a couple years back.

thisistank 05-28-2008 10:48 PM

Looks like some nice boats out there. How many were in the poker run and were they all local? Nice looking Cigs. Always loved the black/grey Tiger.

By they way, the 46 Rough Rider (American Bad A$$) is on its way down to you guys.

waterboy222 05-28-2008 11:19 PM

anymore pics of "big pimpin"? cool shots! thanks!

around 60something boats in poker run. most from bvi but a couple each from both usvi and puerto rico. i also know if at least three cigs in bvi that didn't make it. top gun fatboy blew a transmission seal at start. bvi has only about 24,000 total population. many perf boats per capita. gotta love it. :cool-smiley-011:

Boy now you did it. His nickname up here is Hippy Kid. If the party hasn't started it will when he and his wife Michelle :Score-101010: get there. :evilb:

Beautiful Tiger David.

Keep the pictures coming.

I did call Cecil today and left a message. To bad about the tranny.

i'm just glad his nickname is hippy kid and not dippy kid. sailboating you know. i wonder if he tacks and jibes the fountain? sorry, mike.:cool-smiley-027:

i just read the american bad a$$ is on the way? i'm bet that going to cecil. fatboy may be looking for a new home?

I believe that is correct. Look for it. I know a few people that'd like to get their hands on FatBoy.

waterboy222 05-29-2008 12:13 AM

What the hell is a tack and a jibe? :p The fact that I will most likely know this in detail after 6 days on a blowboat leads me to believe that I will not only WANT to go for a blast in the Tiger, I may NEED to!

Whattadyathink, Doug...I could buy Fat Boy and we could match?

I know what poker run is now on next years list.

Expat 05-29-2008 11:35 AM

i found out this morning A. B. A. is indeed on the way to Virgin Gorda. fatboy most likely available but owner not around for a short while to find out for sure. will let you know.

hey, you should get down here next time. what a blast. take a few days off and check out the bvi. we always need more bartenders. and deck fluff-female types.:cool-smiley-011:

The Menace 05-29-2008 12:11 PM

The BVI's are a boater's, drinker's and party paradise. We chartered a 50' cruiser for a week and cruised from port to port to "The Bitter End" and back. Lots of sun, fun, great vistas, good food, excellent diving and on the 6th day could not even look at another drink.:cool-smiley-011:

I am ready to go back minus the booze part.
