We don't usually put 2 blogs up in one day, but this is an exception.
Earlier this morning, I posted a blog with the picture of this doughnut apparatus that as a group of 8 won for 2 hours to use in Prickly Bay. We were at the Tiki Bar last night with good friends Arlene and Denis from the boat "Tiger Lily II" and Alex and John from the boat 'Free Spirit' when we met another couple from Belgium, Phillip and Dianna from the boat 'Miles Away'. After happy hour and pizzas, a Trivia contest broke out. We played the game as a group and made many mistakes, but clearly aced it on many others. At the end of it, we didn't win the 2 bottles of Clarke's Court Rum with intelligent answers, but instead our answer sheet was chosen randomly from the pile and we won a 2 hour trip on the "doughnut" complete with 3 pizzas, 24 beers and lots of ice. You can see how much fun we had from the pictures below!
After the tiki bar put lots of gas in the fuel tank he paused to take a picture of the group of us.
Free beers and ice all loaded and Arlene's bottle of Champagne from Martinique ready and waiting.
While in Grenada, we contacted Jules, a flag maker and had him make us up a few flags to show Denis from Tiger Lily our appreciation and that we're part of his group. The FOD flag stands for "Friends of Denis".
Denis is available to us each morning on the Ham Radio at 7:45 to discuss weather. Many followers check in and appreciate all his wisdom. Afterall, it is all about weather as we move from island to island here in the big ocean and in our little boats. We have become very much friends with Denis and Arlene who have been sailing the Caribbean for more than 25 years.
We spotted another couple who had been at the Trivia night at the Tiki Bar last evening and invited them to join us aboard the s/v Donut for a drink. Of course they only gave us 24 beers so they had to bring their own!
