Bonjour Annecy

I am really excited in July I am heading off for a week to Annecy in the French Alps to see my good Aussie friend Penny and her family who have relocated there. I have never got to that part of France so it will be all new. Well it is that time again - work! Where did my days off go? Managed to squeeze in time with my friends , Debbie is off to Canada at the end of this month so it was great to have a chance to see her before she left. Went to a BVI boatshow party, saw the new Tapas bar at the Dove, got in a couple of swims at Brewers Bay, Cane Garden Bay and Prospect Reef Hotel Pool which is always empty of people. Start a charter tomorrow with 6 guests from the States and Captain Mike ( also American) making the most of today relaxing and watching bad tv....E channel stuff. Talk soon Lisa

Peace and Tranquility = Anagada

What a perfect day today has been, getting paid to loll around watching dvd's, am anchored off the island of Anagada (British Virgin Islands), am on charter with just 2 guests from Texas, they have gone off for the day to explore the island, the Captain, Patrick has gone ashore to meet up with his wife, which leaves me relaxing. Had an interesting day yesterday,went for a walk along and generally deserted beach, only to stumble on a couple making love and butt naked! I deverted my eyes while they ran into the water, had a good chuckle about that. Had a lovely chat with my friend Penny who with her family has relocated to the French Alps, thank God for Skype, it is so nice to be able to catch up with out the phone call costing the earth, on a more sadder note, I lost my wonderful Grandfather Mr. Leslie Archibald Harris at the age of 93, Grandpa you will be missed. Am now waiting for the return of the shore team, will be making coconut crusted shrimp with a thai sweet chilli dipping sauce for appitisers this afternoon, then it is off to Neptunes Treasure Resturant where the guests have invited us to join them for dinner. May even fit in a crappy attempt at pool at Potters Bar after dinner.

Should I stay or should I go?

Tapas at the Dove? or another night of movies, had great plans to go out with the girls,but after finishing some prep cooking for a wedding function tomorrow - movies seem like a good idea, although with the preacher revival going on in town I am fighting a losing battle being able to hear anything on the tv. 9 woman tomorow from the UK here for a wedding, I have been hired to cook for them for a day sail around the British Virgin Islands, should be a nice day, then might pop in and check out an art opening in Main Street, Tortola. Life is good.
