Three Babies. One Love.
On Tuesday, we headed out with the Campagna clan to the beautiful Jost van Dyke. We took the Mystique day sail again...I cannot speak highly enough of this boat! It is in the Voyage Charter fleet out of Soper's Hole.
(Funny side note: Once we had boarded, and we were awaiting the safety briefing, one of our fellow passengers looked over at me and said - "Do you have a blog? I googled the Mystique boat this morning looking for their phone number and your blog popped up. That must be Anna Drake!" While this isn't the first time I've been recognized from the blog, it's the first time in a long time. So, thanks for reading nice lady from South Carolina!)
Soggy Dollar Bar may have the best painkillers, but One Love makes the best bushwhacker!
We also ate lunch at One Love and it was delicious. We shared a few savory lobster quesadillas. How sweet are little Charlotte and Vivian??? They adopted the chill vibe of Jost van Dyke and acted as if this was something they do every day.
We also introduced Liz to the dark and stormy drink. Have you had one? It's made with three simple ingredients: 1 part Gosling's Rum (that's the dark) 1 part Ginger Beer (that's the stormy) and then a squeeze of fresh lime. Here's the finished product:
It was another gorgeous day in the BVI and another splendid day sail on the Mystique. Thanks to our captain, Nico and hostess, Celia for making it so wonderful!
Don't you just want to dive in and take a swim? Aunt Alison did - here she is enjoying the cool waters.

We set sail for Diamond Reef, where Jeff and his sister Alison enjoyed snorkeling, while the rest of us hung out on the boat.
The next stop was White Bay on Jost van Dyke. We took refuge in the shade of the sea grape trees along the beach. Oh yeah, and we quenched our thirst with bushwhackers!

Best Beach Bar Photo Contest
Rum Shop Ryan - a Caribbean enthusiast who blogs about all things island related - is looking for the best beach bar photo, and three of the five finalists are photos of bars in the BVI! Two of them are from bars on Jost van Dyke! {I've got to get myself back there again!}
The first one is of Seddy's One Love Bar.
And the other one is a photo of Ivan's Stress Free Bar.
While he's not a finalist, my father submitted this photo that he snapped while five people did the ultimate bar hop off of Willy T's.
The first one is of Seddy's One Love Bar.

Andrew's Work
Our friend Andrew, also referred to by his last name, McRee is quite the talented photographer. He brought his camera to the BVI over Memorial Day Weekend, and I wanted to share some of my favorite photos of his from the trip...

{Smugs}
{Better Together}
{Quadruple}
{On Island Time}
{Pondering Twins}
{Even Better Together}
{B Double-E Double-R U-N}

And lastly, here's one of the photographer himself. Michael took this photo at dinner one night.

Day 98: Kickin' Back with Ivan with All My Friends Down in the Islands
That's a line from Kenny Chesney's song "Somewhere in the Sun" about the BVI. And on Sunday, the lyrics were pretty literal for us.
We headed out on the water, destination: Jost Van Dyke. We've rented this 24'' Conteder before, but it helped that Jeff was with us - he's an avid boater and has years of experience.
We had lunch at Ivan's Stress Free Bar. This is the famous dive where Kenny Chesney shot the video for his song, "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem."
After a delicious lunch of fish sandwiches, we walked over to Soggy Dollar Bar for their signature painkillers made with Pusser's rum, then hit Jewel's Snack Shop and One Love. Everyone had a great time!
Not exactly sure what everyone was yelling at the camera, but thanks to Adam for taking the photo!
