CRUISING DAY 2 - MONDAY, APRIL 1

Happy April Fool’s Day - We have no jokes...oh wait...maybe one!

Breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit and mimosas. After our meal, AJ and Maor took up the anchor and we sailed to Canouan and then to Mayreau. Captain AJ made a special arrangement that we could have a visit with Emma and Ashley, our spectacular crew in St Martin for NYE 2016. He dropped us off and we had a great visit. We all recalled our dance night to Red Solo Cup.

On our way to the Mayreau dock.

There they are!

Ashley & Emma

Our crew from St. Martin minus Pat and Tom Wands.

Ever silly Emma!

After our visit, we came back to a lunch of grilled salmon on penne pasta with a vodka tomato sauce and a Waldorf salad minus the walnuts, which are in short supply on the islands. Dessert were rum balls hand made by Rachael.

We moved to Union Island after lunch where we snorkeled and I tried out the SUP. It was much more stable than the SUP in Antigua, but it still takes practice with the waves. Kathy got some beautiful pictures snorkeling during the trip.

Happy Hour commenced with pain killers - our favorite from the Soggy Dollar Bar in the BVIs. Dinner followed - ceviche appetizer, pork tenderloin, squash purée, cucumber spirals and a green salad. Dessert was a cheesecake dish.

Painkillers - our favorite!

A game called Assassin was introduced. It is a Clue type game where everyone draws the name of a person, a weapon and a location. From there everyone tries to kill their person by handing them the weapon in the correct location. The first person killed was Sandy on the sun lounger with a cork. She gave me her assignment which was more difficult. Bill Robinson with a cookie on the helm. I have never seen him up there, so this is going to be tough.

After dinner Victor and Sandy went to the bon fire on shore. The rest of us stayed on the boat and played Killer. This is the game where the killer winks and kills the others, who die a theatrical and horrible death. We had several rounds of that and laughed a lot. Kem got silly with Cathy's bra afterwards. He's a hoot!

While Sandy and Victor were at the bonfire, we played our only April Fools joke. Tamar, Rachael and I short sheeted their bed. So glad we got one joke in! The funny thing is that Sandy did not even know her bed had been short sheeted. Victor tried to act like all was normal, but she never figured it out.
