Great Harbour, Jost Van Dyke
 
 
 
 
Great Harbour has the feel of what you imagine is typical Caribbean
 
 
We nipped round the corner from White Bay and in less than a mile had buoyed up ready to go ashore, clear out with Customs and Immigration, get a quick Painkiller in Foxy's, check the internet and off to the United States Virgin Islands.
 
 
  
 
 
This is definitely a new bent on "One Careful Owner", this time it's transformers
 
 
We cleared out, went to the shop, had a chat with a local called Blossom who had visited England once to stay with her cousin, a teacher in Hampshire. She had visited my birth town of Aldershot and wowed at the size of Tesco and Argos but agreed it was way too cold and was glad to get home where everyone is peaceful, friendly and kind.
 
 
 
 
 
Then it was to Foxy's. Bear got out one of our cards and the barman promptly handed him a stapler and said "You put it up and you know where to find it when you return". Bear attached it to a pole
 
 
 
 
 
The atmosphere is one of party even first thing in the morning. Lunchtime, we were still there and the entertainment came on.
 
 
  
 
 
The shop next door. The Christmas hatted statue
 
 
  
 
 
I wandered off to take some photos
 
 
 
 
 
I loved this happy paintwork, Bear catching up - more Painkiller
 
 
 
 
We finally shoe-horned our way out of Foxy's, had a swim, had a sleep and stayed put for the night We'll go early in the morning "Yeh right".
 
 
 
 
ALL IN ALL IF YOU HAVE A PLAN - STICK TO IT - AND NEVER HAVE MORE THAN ONE PAINKILLER
