Team Audax Family Fun Day!

January 31st, 2008 · 3 Comments

Thursday
P1000812 0814 – Take a look at those baby’s!!!! Old school and single gear…watch out!!! For our last day together(temporarily) as an annual family meeting coupled with a job interview hasP1000807 Jordi flying high in the sky en-route to the USA (I really just saw his plane fly over me, safe travels JORDI!!) We rented bikes, put packs on our back and with maps in our pocket it was go go go. A somewhat circuitous route and 2 hours later we located it….“the hole!!” 80 feet wide, 40 feet deep…”well it sure is a nice hole! Ok…you guys hungry…

SUSHI!!!!! So nice, so tasty…“supersize itP1010018 please” as we enjoyed hearty meals at the expense of a creature that continues to allude the hot dog baited lures of the Audax. Finishing the day with a sweet late in the day surprise invite aboard the Rum Runner for a bountiful feast that included cooked fish of the variety they call Wahoo, corn, asparagus and squash capped off another great day here on the island of Providenciales. (Day 7 already!!!)

P1010011 Wednesday Lesson of the day: Do not take shells from the bottom of the ocean in a national park.
Returning to the anchored vessel off a coral reef (shark included!) Jordi, Bill and myself were met by the P1010012TCIG Coast Guard, were boarded and then searched. With no illegal contraband to be found we motored safe and sound back home. Fast forward 1 hour: “God Damn Mother F%#)#…. go to your flipping home!!!” as I make continued efforts to re-secure an electrical grounding wire to its bolt in the bilge whilst Jordi and Steve sit silently munching on peanuts and pretzels. Ahhhh… life at sea!

Question to all: How do you peel a mango???

The slave labor spoken of in prior entry, family fun day photo album, our communications headquarters and the dancing duos from last night.

    Hey- that’s a pretty interesting “hole” - how did that get there? Dinner on the lovely “Rumrunner” looks delicious and fun! Had dinner at the Sebago in Portland tonight with Jordi and the group - nice to see one of you Island boys!
