Operation: EYE OF THE STORM (Day 8)

It's morning at Soper's Hole and I've come to realize that our vacation is almost over. "Hey, what's our dinghy doing at the back of the Wildcat?" It was a little cloudy today. Fatty and a bunch of us decided to check out the town. I'm wearing my Bobby's Market Place shirt! Like routine, we always dump our garbage at port and I like to dump something else as well. "Where the washroom?" LOL!!! We ran into a local as we roamed through the stores. It was just Nicholas. Captain Serious and Mike trying on some dreadlocks... Our captain too? Mike and the City... Lila and I sat for a bit at Pusser's Landing Restaurant. At one point, the wind started to blow really hard which seemed a little ominous. Back in our dinghy now... We raised our sails one last time and headed out to sea. Andy actually fractured one of his toes on this trip! Team Flex in the house! I love that shirt! Unfortunately, we got news that there was a threat of Hurricane Omar approaching soon, so Captain Nicholas gave the order to return early to Inner Harbour at Road Town. I radioed the Wildcat to organize a little photo op. The crew of the Wildcat all wearing their uniform... 7 crew salute... I'll never forget these moments. Captain Fatty designed our shirts and he got them produced at EmbroidMe in Vancouver.Our turn now... The crew of the Offshore Haven... "Meet you at the port!!!" Our destination in sight... Lila at the helm... I can see myself. It was a bit sombre heading back because we still wanted to do so much more. We eventually brought our ship back to the Moorings Yacht Charter Base and tied her up. Evening arrived and we all decided to go out for dinner, But organizing 14 minds takes a little time, So I got a chance to nap for a bit. LOL!!! Andy and Lila had the same idea. We finally took our dinghy to a restaurant at the Village Cay Marina Hotel. We were so damn hungry because the others took so long to get ready. Tamara and Nick's crew eventually arrived to meet us. Fatty titled this photo, "The Cancer Crew". I ordered some delicious Ribs and Rice. I was freakin' because it started to rain really hard! I helped the restaurant's staff batten down. Yeah, baby!!! Much to the surprise of the restaurant's staff and patrons, Nicholas jumped off the railing and into the harbour! LOL!!! Captain Serious all wet and wasted... A bunch of the guys ordered lobster for dinner!!! "Eat hearty... For tonight... We dine in HELL!!!" Popa Fett and the Ed Rocker... These two locals are Ben and Alex and they actually work for Moorings. Ben is originally from Cape Cod and Alex is from Montreal. Alex was funny, she asked me if they could have a photo with the "crazy big drunk guy". LOL!!! Back on our boat, Captain Serious was at it again. Doing his dance... And making some noise!!! Andy and Alex... (Too bad she closed her eyes in this shot.) As promised, Ben and Alex dropped by our boat to party. They're a cool couple. They get hired as captain and cook for some Moorings' charters. This was the last night we would spend in the British Virgin Islands.
