Another boring day........

Nice Edgar! We honeymooned on Tortola many years ago. At Rymer's on Cane Garden Bay. There was not much over there at the time. Rymer's son, Quito had a small restaurant and bar next door. They told us that Walter Cronkite had a house over on that side not far from the bay. What a great place to get away.

Do you still see a lot of damage from the hurricane?

Just saw your latest post with storm damage...

Edgar, sounds lovely, how is the snorkeling, my wife and I are always looking for new destinations?

Looks like a nice and a bit more private part of the island. I see Apple Bay, Cappoons Bay, Long Bay and Belmont Bay between Belmont Pond and Apple Bay. Best beach looks to be on the west end in Belmont Bay. You should be in this image somewhere. You gotta love Google Earth! Enjoy the sunshine; I'll be plowing snow much of today.

Richard, what google is calling lower Belmont Bay is Smuglers Cove. East of here is Long Bay which was a former resort which went private. The picture shows what happened to many of the stilt condos, just back from the beach. The topless, dead palms are about 500 yards inland. Much of the island has yet to fully recover. (Bad pun but meaning many houses are still roofless)
Nearly every power pole was taken down, and it was over six months before this end of the island got their power back.

Kelvin, I can’t begin to tell you how great the snorkeling and diving is down here. Julie and I are going up to Brewers tomorrow where I hope to try out my new underwater case for my Cannon.

We'll be expecting some pictures here if that case works. Looks like great diving. If I were scuba diving I'd head for the cliffy area around the end of that stubby peninsula. Rocky areas like that can be fabulous diving.
