Lion fish dead NOT alive!!

Today morning at 6.50 am I took my little camera and went to the SandBar to take some pics of the first moments of the Lion Fish Dead not Alive" event. Of course, Jodi and Jewel from the DECR (Department of Environment & Coastal Resources) were there arranging everything but nobody else :) ... Island schedule (Well, Tipsy was also there ...)
At 6.59 Smitty showed up but everything seemed to be a little slow so I took a couple of pics and went back to bed. At 11 I went to dive and when I came back, after my shower I went back to the bar since it was also Jorika's birthday and everybody was there. So we spent a couple of hours drinking champagne and taking pictures of EVERYTHING possible, as usual, including the delicious birthday chocolate and caramel cake that Phyllis prepared for Jorika, and waiting for the boats to come back.
Five boats registered to participate. Between 2 pm and 4 pm the boats arrived and the 1st prize was for the Oasis team that came with 57. I do not remember the exact number but I guess that more than 140 lion fish were caught today here so it was a very productive day in terms of helping terminate them...
Jewel encouraged people to keep on catching them and eating them (she said they are tasty. I can't give my opinion about that since I am vegetarian...) so let's keep on going after them!

Far from home, back home :)

I am back on the island so The Little Grand Turk is back too.
I have to admit that I am still surprised by the fact that time is a totally different thing here (compared with Buenos Aires, for instance...).

People told me that nothing happened here while I was away (almost 3 weeks) however I found that things changed and not in a pleasant way ...

First of all, Dona left and I missed her for a day or two... and she does not know when she will be back... I do not like that. And Tipsy is going around with that face like saying "Where is mom?"...

Second, Joan (Deli's Joan) told me that she is leaving soon too. She is going back to the UK so Captain Zeng will close for good. I do not like that either... The Deli will still be working though.

You might think I do not like changes... Well, you are right. But I tend to adapt easily. But not to these changes!


I do not like nice people leaving the island :(



Between that and the people that usually decide to leave the island during August/September because everything is slow, this place is going to be nobody's land...

So, I decided I will be proactive and I will not be depressed or anything like that. I had a great time in Argentina, spending 3 weeks going out, having good food, dancing almost every night, visiting friends, etc. And I decided that I will keep on dancing here, even if I have to do it on my own.

So I brought music, I learnt also the leading role in tango, and I will teach some friends here how to tango (if we ever find men who want to learn...).

There is also this friend of mine coming to visit me to the island and even when she is a tango beginner she said she would help me too!

So, people, be prepared because tango season will start in August!!
