Thank you

Funny story
At the first card stop the BVI Customs guys were hollering at us to get our attention. They then turned their boat to show us that the name of their boat was called PREDATOR as well. I was relieved as I did not know at first why they wanted our attention.

Bob a quick story on why I bought a Tiger (love reading your threads BTW). My wife and her girlfriend went to Saba Rock (girlfriend lives in BVI's and knows David). They had a great time on his Tiger and came home with a ton of pictures. I got so gealous (LOL) of them and riding on David's boat I said dammit I can get one of those too!

Islands bottle opener
Bart using Ron's shoe bottle opener.
Ron is from St Thomas and has a restaurant / bar there. He is a friend of David's and stayed at Saba Rock. He joined our group for dinner each night and just had us in stitches laughing. Non stop joker.
Ron's really cool Midnight Express. Nicely restored.

Great thread indeed. As I think we are all starting to realize, the close of one adventure for BtheB is really just the start of another one brewing in his mind 
Thanks for talking us along and posting all the pictures. The scenery is breathtaking and the stories are great, but I think the part I like the best is how through these darn websites, Bob and Jay can travel far, yet meet up with people they are familiar with.

We have made many new, great friends along the way and do appreciate them.

A few of my favorites from this last week.
Crew of 11 for the poker run 
My new friends at the dock
The boys got a ride in the lift
Turns out Rick the photographer / video in the helicopter grew up in my home town in Ontario. He contacted me on Facebook this morning and we will exchange video / pics. Small world.
Love the colours oopps I mean colors. LOL
Got a kick out of this curvy island style raft up. We were about to trty and manouver our way out of there when they all showed up en masse and cleared a way out for us.
It was cool seeing my previous Nor Tech so far from home and to be able to run alongside it thru the islands. Brought back lots of good memories. It was ( is ) a great boat still and finds it's home in Fajardo, PR.
What a view !!
Another scenic shot of the rugged coastline.
