After more than eight months of anticipation,
Glenn finally
sets foot on "Caribbean Spirit". The first 8 days would be spent with four of Glenn's long time friends. When "the boys" headed
home, Marianne flew in with John and Laurel Pittera and Gary and Patty Vienneau. The "couples" would spend four more days
sailing in the British Virgin Islands.
|
With 3 of "the boys" being named John, we had to improvise.
So we ended up with Moe, Curley, and Joe. John K. doesn't have enough hair to be called Larry!
Moe, Ken, Joe, Curley and
Glenn enjoy a moment at the TMM docks.

Gary and Patty V. joined "the boys" on day eight for dinner
aboard "Caribbean Spirit" and a night of partying on the "Willie T". Rumor has it that Patty jumped! But I think that's only
a rumor.
|
When "the boys" headed home, Marianne and the Pitteras flew
in. They joined Glenn and the Vienneaus for four more days in Paradise. Here John, Glenn, Gary, Laurel, Marianne and Patty
pose at Donovan's Reef Restaurant, Scrub Island.

In 1985 Marianne and Glenn got engaged while sailing in the
British Virgin Islands. Two decades (and two children) later, they returned on their own boat to celebrate the event.

After soaking up the sun at Cow Wreck Beach, John and Laurel
enjoy a quite moment at the Anegada Reef Hotel.

A beautiful day at Sandy Cay

To end the trip we headed over to Foxy's on Jost Van Dyke.
It was a night of laughs and dancing. When we got back to Caribbean Spirit we played cards into the wee hours (Gary must have
been cheating!). In the morning the girls headed ashore for last minute gift shopping... then it was off to TMM and home to
see the kids.
