Viequez, Spanish Virgins

THE CREW and Mike are enjoying our stint on Viequez. Yesterday morning, we move east from Sun Bay (which had a crescent mile long beach and a "block Island-ish" downtown) to a secluded harbor called Ensenada Honda. "Dancing Dolphin" and Persephone are the only two boats in this entire area. No houses, no town, no roads, no people, no lights....no nothing !! We are completely isolated and loving it....

We all jumped in the dinghies yesterday and headed out on a hunt for lobsters. SKUNKED....The crew from Dancing Dolphin, Mike and I each saw at least one lobster; but were unable to bring home dinner. The lobsters here really like to stay well inside their hidey-holes and are smart enough not to leave their antennae hanging out ....a sure give away. We will try again today....

Mike and Crystal from DD came over for sundowners and left around dark. As they were leaving they asked if we had seen the Southern Cross on the horizon....I immediately became my skeptical (obnoxious) self, and announced "no way, we are too far north, expletive deleted" BUT, there on the southern horizon was a very bright, distinct cross shaped arrangement of stars...could it be the Southern Cross ??? Sure looks like it could be....?? (Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young singing in the background..."you'll always remember the first time you see the Southern Cross...")

Yikes, I need my morning coffee !!
