The Frolicers: USVI Partys On

During the hurricane season it seems the Virgin Islands release the tension on devastating hurricanes by having parties. The two most recent were a Full Moon Party at Dinghies on Water Island, and the Chili Off at Brewers Beach.

We prepare for the party

Other Party Pirates

The Full moon party at Dinghies had a pirate theme to it and Leslie and I tried to get right into the swing of things! Leslie out did herself by adding a parrot to my costume.

Hulla Hoops were in fashion

Presidente beer was a sponsor of the party and had their beach representatives there helping to keep the party going.

Is that Johnny Depp?

There be pirates coming!

Skunky Ron provided the music
his groupie was very quiet

Leslie and Nancy kept the beer flowing

He really handled the fire

Amazing she didn't get burned!

There were even Fire dancers at the party! The couple were very good and did a couple of sets.

Even Giorgio got into the action

In the end we were shocked by Carl winning the best costume contest and getting a $50 bar credit. It just barely made it through the rest of the night.

They start setting up the Chili Off

We get ready for the run

The Chile Off was on Brewers Beach and had a run component to the beginning of it so Leslie and Carl participated.

The Texas Chili Society sanctions this event and there were over 50 booths making chili. The day started clear and warm until after the run when the clouds arrived and then just as the opening ceremony began so did the rain! It rained until 2 PM before breaking, but it was still a fun event.
