CipesDesign Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) Aw shucks, I was hoping to send you an "email from the future". And yes, you folks are lucky, down there in the islands, to have no daylight savings time... Edited March 11, 2007 by CipesDesign Quote Link to comment
LarryAZ Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 That reminds me I used to fly from Phoenix to Las Vegas in the morning and the flight took 55 mins. We would arrive 5 mins before we left. Also would get to see the sun rise in both places. Cool... Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 In the Virgin Islands there's no Daylight Savings Time ... the problem is that the office needs to open at 8am to take calls from the east coast and then needs to stay open until 9pm for calls from the west coast.... the calls from London start at 3am ! That makes for a very long day ... Quote Link to comment

Travis Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 EJ, Your response puts me in mind of a scene in the movie Notting Hill . Julia Roberts' character tries to join in on the "oh, woa is me" contest around the dinner table. The others listen politely but then refuse to accept her complaints considering how she's beautiful as a goddess and nearly as wealthy. Sorry, mon. . .we landlubbers here in the gradually thawing northern climes are simply not buying. BTW, my wife finally talked me into taking a cruise this last January. We made it to Tortolla and I realized I didn't even have my palm pilot with me to give you a ring!! Maybe next time. Quote Link to comment

CipesDesign Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 EJ, Very nice. Is that Magens Bay? Or one of the other 100 or so beautiful bays? Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 Got that right ... Magens Bay with view down island towards Tortola in the distance. In the summer we bring the Cat around from Red Hook for Northside sailing/diving. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Very cool. Our very first trip to the VI, we rented a house right out at the eastern point. We also sailed to the BVI and back. Since then we have returned 7 times to bareboat charter in the BVI. In fact we'll be there in June for 2 weeks. IslandMon, you ARE lucky to live there, but like my best friend from Hawaii always says: "It's nice, but I have to work all the time and hardly ever get to enjoy it..." Quote Link to comment
