OK Ya Wenches and Seafarin' Swashbucklers!
Captain Deb has emerged from her cabin and waddled up on deck to see what the heck's goin' on!  Are we there yet?  Is that beeee-oooo-teeee-fuuul crystal blue water I see? An white sugar-sand beaches with gently swaying palm trees?  And Rasta music wafting down off the mountainside along with the smell of frangipani, ganja, rum, and stew goat? Am I dreaming or are we cruising downwind through Sir Francis Drake Channel, somewhere between Tortola and East End, St. John?

I really HOPE so, cuz anyone who hasn't been there don't know where heaven is!
AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A pirate's life for me!!!!

It all sounds great to me  ;D    (except for the stew goat)  I am still drooling over the "Flippin" chocolate cake you made for Dr. Love

The World's Best Choccie Cake Recipe is public domain. It is on the box of Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa powder, and so is the icing.  The trick is to slightly underbake the cake and put on 2 coats of icing, refridgerating between coats, a la Martha.
Go ahead
Pig out
you're still alive to enjoy it!

My step-mom got a cat at a garage sale...a lovely part siamese with pretty blue eyes and a calico coat....her name was Ganja.  We couldn't figure out how she got that name or what it even meant.  We didn't know..  It wasn't until much later that we found out what Ganja means.  Too late to changer her name.!!

I laughed my butt of at that one!  A boat I worked on had a cat named Doobie but it was spelled Dubhe which is one of the stars in the constellation Ursa Major.  That was the name of the boat!
The dinghy was called Ursa Minor. We used to catch these itty bitty fishies with a hand line which we kept in the chart table drawer and every time the drawer was opened she went bananas cuz it meant a fish for her to play with then devour on this huge fordeck of the 85 foot wood boat! Great memory. Thanks, Sue!

OK--still cravin' West Indian food!

For Dr. Love's birthday, 3 years pre-AN, I threw his a** on a sailboat along with 2 of my bestest sailin' wench girlfriends and dragged him to a little island called Anegada. It lies north of Virgin Gorda and is surrounded by a HUGE coral reef, which keeps the novice sailors away (or it USED to--they wised up and marked the coral-head studded channel so tourists can sail there without crashing their shiney new rented boats) We radioed in our lobster reservations to Neptune's Treasure restaurant (there are two on the island) When we got there they had decorated up our table with balloons and a big "Happy Birthday Eric" sign which still hangs in my studio.  We had the world's best conch fritters and then they brought out 3 incredible fresh grilled West Indian lobsters. Erics was HUGE and the feelers overhung  the gigantic platter it was served on by a foot.

 Earlier that day, while "folicking" on the 5 mile long completely deserted north shore beach, Dr. Love and I discovered a lobster carapace that was at least a foot wide, meaning that the old granddaddy lobster who used to own it had to be at least 20 pounds and 3 feet long from feeler to tail. The Anegadan fishermen go out in rowboats, mostly, and hand catch these big suckers with a mask and snorkle. They bring them back kicking and screaming and put them in a big pen, built next to the dinghy dock till suppertime, and they are lots of fun to watch.  As the sun starts to sink and the rum comes out, the fishermen start this big driftwood fire and spread the coals out smooth when it dies down.  Then they whip out this big homemade grill thing, prop it up on cinderblocks on the corners, and throw on the lobsters.  You feel real sorry for 'em DYIN" like that, till you have your first BITE and then you are sorry no more!

Lobster with lots of lime and butter, rice and peas, fried plantains, a little bowl of kalaloo, homemade mango ice cream for dessert!  Then we proceeded to dance all the skin offa the bottoms of our feet to a rockin' little steel band.

That was probably the best meal of my entire life and I thought I'd share it with you! ;D

Love, Capt Deb 8)

Bruce,
I never did get to the Western Caribbean much, but my big brother smuggled a Margay Tiger back through customs from Costa Rica into the Virgin Islands 1972! I have lots of friends who love Costa Rica and it is one of the places I'd love to visit. Sousops are great if you can get past the seeds. A lady on the west end (Fredericksted) of St. Croix named Miss Mary used to make these drinks called Fantails out of soursop juice, 151 rum, coconut water, and who knows what other kind of "bush medicine"--whatta buzz! And flavor!
Guess I'm missin' the islands!

Ok, Captain Deb, try this un for size!

The good ship PBW sets sail around the bottom (otherwise known as the a*** end) of the land down under and head toward Adelaide - the city of churches. As the anchor is chucked over the side, the lookout (my surgeon!) yells, "enemy ship approaching". Captain deb, puts on her pirate hat, and tries giving instructions to the crew in squarkeeeze but none of the wenches can understand her. Captain Deb then makes a decision to load the cannons herself, but has Captain deb gone mad (er) ? she loads the cannons with the gallies supply of jaffas.(small balls of chocolate covered in orange lollie - yum). She lights the cannon and fires on the enemy ship. Kasplat (as they say in batmanese). But as the thousands of jaffas approach the enemy ship, the lookout says - whoops, made a mistake its the dingy girly whirly.

Wench karla and Andrea are on board and are about to be consumed by a fistful of jaffas. Luckily for the incumbent wenches, Captain Deb's aim was off and the wenches survived the attack.

Meanwhile, the crew on board the good ship PBW row ashore to enjoy this great city. Captain Deb leads the walk through the city and discovers a number of underground restaraunts. As the crew is feeling rather peckish after Captain Deb released the entire stock of chocolate, the swashbucklers were rathjer attentive in this restaraunt as it was topless. Not even a T shirt to be seen (bad luck Mom and matti wench). It's true, loads and loads of restaraunts are topless, the problem is that these places are all underground and too many goosebumps a flying everywhere.

The wenches weren't very impressed so they left to go to this suburb called Norwood. Now, Norwood is famous for its Pie Cart. Why is this? well, Captain Deb, your stomach pains are over. You have to try the traditional Pie Floater. This is a meat pie smothered in vinegar and tomato sauce (ketchup), floatinmg on top of a thick green bowl of pea soup. Let me tell all of you wannabe pirates, you can only try this if you have had one or thirty and then it dopesn't want to stay in your body for too long.

After devouring the pie floaters, a mass outbreak of dissentry through the PBW has onset the crew but never mind, coz the chronologer (otherwise known as rubber guts) has taken the vrew to one of the finest winery locations in the world. Its called the Barrosa Valley. Many fine reds have been consumed here and the crew has not been disappointed at all.

Stay tuned for the next episode when we find out whether the pie floater has completely destroyed Captain Deb's stomach, will the good dingy girly whirly stop spinning in time for the encumbent wenches to actually board the good ship PBW. Will the good ship PBW ever get out of the a*** end of the Indian Ocean?

Well, THAT was a fun trip.  Thanks for the great stories, real and imagined!  I think a little to the left of where Larry took us, must be where the Chocolate Sea is.
