Leo & Deb visit!















This took a little while. BUT... Leo and Deb made some last minute plans and spent a week with us for Deb's Birthday!! We were pumped they had time to come see everything we've been working on. On yeah, and to just hang out and get to know each other better (aka kick our butts in dominoes). We started the week in Village Cay getting some work done, but then took off North because Leo had never made it up to Anegada and we were all hungry for some LOBSTER!! The week was a blast and we're so sad that the books are full because that means no more visits until.... JULY?? wow.

Dan Birthday Cruise II

What is there to look forward to now? That was what Sasha and I have been asking ourselves the past two days. After such an amazing visit with the NYC crew we're feeling a little lost. Our paradise is slightly less complete. In the past few days we celebrated our second annual "Dan's birthday cruise". From William climbing the mast to the Hippie Lounge II, and of course just sailing around the islands and morning watersports the days past quickly. We miss all of our friends!!! Thanks for a great few days!

Matt Bouis does SCUBA




Coming up in a few weeks I will have 6 people wanting to do a resort course together. Matt agreed to be my first student. Seeing as how we are in 9 feet of clear water with a sandy bottom he trusted me :) We talked through the skills which he executed amazingly down under. Hand signals were almost a second language to him by the time we were done. Sasha was in the water as well just to keep the cameras rolling and be an extra set of "hands". We were ecstatic to have an excuse to do some instructional diving! This next week we will get our fill. We have 2 guests doing there 4 open water dives with us on a universal referral. We'll keep you posted on that one!

Grass is always greener


So, we were in port the other day and sitting in a slip next to a huge megayacht. Of course the grass is always greener on the other side and I found myself thinking about how nice it would be to work on a larger boat. I watched the team of 5 cleaning the upper deck and bow... it's just Sasha and I over here. Then, I looked over and the captain and first mate were at their third floor patio railing looking over (down) at Hypnautic. I actually heard the captain say to his mate "Man, some days I wish I worked on a small sail boat like that one, you know just be able to sail around. But that job's A LOT of work." It made me smile and realize that the grass is always greener, no matter what size boat you're on :)
