The Polynesia under the arm of Jost Van Dyke
That is the Island of Tortola in the background


This is the Soggy Dollar Bar where we landed. There is no dock so they named the bar for the typically wet money. As this is a British island, I wonder why it isn't called the Soggy Pound? It was too crowded with shipmates to get served, so I went down the beach.

This beach bar is covered in shells. I had trouble ordering warm beer here. I still couldn't talk, the bartender couldn't read my note and didn't believe what I was asking for.

Fortunately there were some British people there to render aid. The bartender still not believing it, kept shaking his head and repeating "HOT Beer?"

We moved the ship and ended the night at the World Famous Foxy's. They have one of the largest New Year's parties in the world. This cove gets packed with boats.
They had a French band there that was doing Karaoke.
