Before we got off the boat, captain of the other boat checked us all in with customs. Then we went to meet a legend of the island. Foxy has a bar that throws a pretty serious New Years Party and generally year round party. Lots of stars have stopped here and people have left pieces of themselves on the walls and ceilings here, a must do stop.

Leaving Foxys I couldn't wait to come back. We got back in our boats and headed to our tour guides, Ricky and Mary Ann favorite spot on the island.


Judy's been living vicariously this winter through the Soggy Dollars bar web cam.










We bellied up and got the world famous Painkiller drinks.





Bar has its name because you will have to swim to shore from what ever boat brings you. Our two twenty's hung and our order in, life is getting really good here.







Lunch and drinks with a view.








Onto the another spot Ive been waiting to see.







Our friends camp here. That is all I'm saying on that. Future blog to follow.








Back in our boats and headed back to St. Thomas, life is really good here.
