It's official, I'm a homeowner. Well, lot owner.

    December 5, 2012. The first annual Dreeket's Bay Homeowners Association has its first meeting. Here we are in all our glory. Actually there are many lot owners, but only four showed up at the meeting. Seated at the right is the developer David Prevo, at the extreme left his wife Donna.
Guess who those dashing guys in the back row are?

So now that it's official, what next? Let's go to our private beach and start a little clean up! Jim opens the gate at our rental home, Tropical Manor, and off we go. Next stop Coral Bay.






We pass the turn-off for Coral Bay where there is a small village...which means many bars and a mini-mart.







Then it's past Sputnick's Bar and The Donkey Dinner. Fine dining anyone? Napkins are optional. Use your fingers.






Watch out Bob, there's a curve up ahead. Jim, stop back-seat driving. Wonder how many people have hit this barrier? Is a steep downhill ride! Really steeeep!






Into The St. John National Park we go. Up on the top of a ridge you can see straight up The Sir Francis Drake Channel. That's Tortola on the left. Sailing anyone?




Finally, we arrive at the beach parking area. This spot is directly below our new lot. Again, that's Tortola over there.

Get out the beach combing equipment guys. Also, lunch and lots of sun block. Wine? What do you think?

My, my, the work is never done. Work? Where is everyone? Oh yeh, it's a private beach. This could become addicting.

Time for a break. Let's see, maybe I raked for ten minutes. That's it: work ten minutes, rest two hours. Where's the wine?

Does this look familiar? Jim knits while Bob rakes. OK, he made the lunch. Nice legs Jim!

Back home, Bob has started to put together a newsletter for the Dreeket's Bay Association. Can anyone say, "Liz Sweeney"? More about this project in another blog.

Happy Holidays from Paradise.
