Nippers Reunion -- Pics Added



Saturday night was steak night at the Jib Room. The ribs were good last Wednesday so we thought we would try again. We only had one plate, because the amount of food served there is massive. The NY strip was grilled to perfection. Probably the best steak in the Abacos, except for mine of course! We ended up at Snappa's again since that Bahamian boy band was back over there. They were just as good as the night before.

On Sunday we decided to go back to Nipper's for the pig roast. We did not get to eat any last week. We convinced our new friends from VIOLA to come over as well. We got to the dock to a Green Turtle Cay Welcoming committee. It was Vern, her husband our friend Darren (remember the birthday party on GTC?) and a few others. They had pulled up on the dock and saw our boat and were excited to see us. The TRUE BLUE guys had gone home for a week, so we missed them. We walked up the hill to nippers once again. When we arrived we were greeted by the Nipper's staff immediately, and we was some more old friends from GTC, David and Michelle and their dog Mojo from RIPPLE. RIPPLE is a sailing vessel and David and BJ got their final dive certifications from Brendal's together.

Their were many other folks that we had made friends with before like Betty who is sailing on BAD BETTY and her dog Igi (sp?). At sundown there was the main event: Leg wrestling. Mike from VIOLA had been preparing for days, but in the end it was the reining champion; BJ who took the match. Mike, trying to save face had a second match with his wife Karen, but at best I would call it a draw. Mike, you need to keep the regiment up for next yer!

Once the games were over, we said our good-byes to EZ the bartender again, and head for the dock for a small dock party. On the way to the boats we were stopped by our old friends from last week, Rich and Carol. They are from NJ and are building a house here on Guana Cay. He gave me a couple of pounds of freshly caught Yellowfin Tuna. I graciously accepted, and promptly set up the BBQ on SWEET CAROLINE. I cut it into loin cuts and peppered the outside, then lightly grilled them We did not have soy sauce, so Karen came up with a sweet mango Tai sauce, which I infused some wasabi and drizzled over the cross-cut seared tuna bites. All of which around a watercress salad center. The fish was excellent. We danced around until the late hour of about 9:00PM where everybody was happy and tired, so we ended the party and went to our respective boats for the night. The plan tomorrow is to go to Hope town. We convinced RIPPLE and VIOLA to join us down there.

Livia is requesting more pictures of you two, she says there isn't enough. Too many words, she says!

At any rate- sounds like a good time :) Oh, yes, and the food- delish! BTW- you have us hooked on tuna! And not the crappy kind, either.

Big hugs and kisses! Love, Jenny
