Cool video! What a great idea, putting a can crusher on the stern like that.

Very Nice! It brings back memories of last year's Spring Break,
Our first trip to BVIs. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

It was a saviour ...8 east coast Canadians drinking beer all day for a week...our garbage would have been totally unmanageable <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Kim, that was perfect - thanks for sharing! Only 3 months till we leave again!
(PS: And I'm not messing around with coffee creamer this time - just ordering a bottle of Bailey's ;-)

Wow, nice to ease the DIF symptoms for which there is no cure for me until Late JUne.

Question Kim; where was the sun set photos taken on Anegada? Cow Wreck?

PS I will be sailing with 4 Maritimers from New Brunswick (they will be on their own cat though) and My mom is an Honorary Maritmer (spent summers in Pictou, NS). May need to adopt your can crusher idea!

Yes the can crusher is awesome - princess auto .
The sunset on Anegada was indeed at cow wreck.

Have fun with those maritimers...rest up ...we know how to party

Hugs to you and Ward. I hope he's recovering nicely. He has a very lovely nurse. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

My friend Eric is down there now on a captained charter. He sends pictures every day. I hate him.

Ward is doing great Mike...putting my nursing skills to good use. Likley wont be able to make our April trip on Reef Song but hoping for the May one...

Until then will have to settle with living vigariously through Eric and others on facebook and TTOL who post their great pictures and trip reports <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
