New in Tortola - Likes

1. Not as hot as before ....happy



2. Met new friends....many

3. Live better......nicer place and better income

4. Get to watch Detroit Tigers.... nearly every day on MLBTV

5. Get to go to other islands.....hoping for Necker, Anagada and Jost
Van Dyke soon. I hope to get a boat, but until I can, the the ferry services here must be utilized.

The sunsets here are mesmerizing.

Here in Cane Garden Bay, an orange sky seems to be a complementary background for the setting sun.  Oh, forgot about my list so here is number 6.


6. Better landlord.  He gives me tropical fruits, pumpkin and coconut.

7. Volunteering for KATS (Kids and the Sea) Now I will teach Intro to Scuba and video all KATS programs of Swimming, Sea Skills, Scuba and Sailing for marketing at schools and on line.

8. Get 4 weeks of paid vacation to take from day one

 A Day At The Beach 
I had a day off and spent the afternoon with Denia. We had lunch at Myetts in Cane Garden Bay and then a walk on the beach at Long Bay and then pina coladas at Bananakeet. I help her with English and she helps me with Spanish.

Nature Boy was not to be found so she filled in for him.
