Fun, Fun, Fun

The high society booth

They were Hot!

After getting a spot on the Hurricane Chain in St. John at 10 AM we headed to Magan’s Bay for the King of Wings contest and arrived at noon just after it started. It had about 40 contestants so there were wings abounding. Again we bought tickets at $1 per wing and started tasting! The day was gray and cool and it affected the crowd as they were more subdued than last year.

They loved their wings

Captain VI was there

It was still a good sized crowd and we had a blast! The wings were good and the people fun. We missed the crowning of the King as we had gone for a swim to cool off and clean our hands and got to meeting some people.

The next day we headed back to St. John for the Iron  Bartender Contest. We were told it started at 2PM so we arrived at about 3PM only to find it had started at noon! All was not lost as they had just finished the first round. There were 12 contestants from bars on St. John, mostly, St. Thomas, and one from St. Croix.

Where is that bottle?

The bartenders face off, in a friendly
way

They were told a drink to make and what ingredients it had to contain and they could add others. It was fun to watch as the judging was based on taste, presentation and showmanship. There were only about 100 spectators, but they were enthusiastic!

The judges. They changed judges every
round

The Winner!

In the end it boiled down to the bartender from St. Croix and a woman bartender, who was one of only 4. She won and it was a good celebration.

The birthday girl!

The anniversary couple
Bruce and Connie

The next day we headed back to St. Thomas and arranged a dinner at the Island View, one of our favorite dinner places, for Leslie’s birthday. As we invited guest we discovered our friends Bruce and Connie were celebrating their anniversary the same day at the same place! So we combined our forces, as most of all the people were both our friends. We had a great time and fantastic dinner. Bruce and Connie were presented with an inflated nude female, but Leslie said that could not make the blog.

 

A good time

The dinner party

Next we prepared for the arrival of our kids. We prepared the boat for 10, 6 adults and 4 children. That will be our next blog!
