Here is where I Built my saw bench, nice view, I actually got a bit of a sunburn from the reflection off the water, which is about 60' down and the sun was behind me and there is a roof over my head which cantaleavers out a solid 10' in front of me!. Intense son 12 degrees off the equator.
Also a pic of one of the windows, just in temporary to see how they are gonna fit.
I know, its not a B-body, but I wish it was!:rolling::rolling:

Ok, you asked! Here I am diving into a fresh water river from the volcano up on the north side of St. Vincent, you can see a girl sitting/leaning on a rock above me, she was very hot.

Ok, these three lovely lasses just loved the white man! Veronica, the one cooking out in the bush (jungle) was very sweet, she used to sneak in my house (next door) when I was showering and I didn't know it ;)

And here is Veronica again cooking, same day, just a different shot, that is not me, that is my co-worker.

Donny, very nice, great pics!. I would love to go to St. Vincent, I have not been, not usually enough time. I have made quite a few friends from there, and most(all) of the workers on this island are from Vincy. Went night snorkleing tonite and than up to the Firefly for beers and pizza. Firefly is a really nice restaurant, one of only two not in the workers village. Basils Beach Bar is the other, but he is shut down for about another week because this is a slow time of the season. He should be opened back up next week just before my Birthday:grin:. That is a legendary place, home to the anual blues festival on the island and throughout this part of the Caribbean, where you might see Mick Jagger and some time back David Bowie, but he no longer has a place on the island. Depending on the timing there are lots of celebs who have places or mour there yachts in the jetty. I, however, am usually here during the off times, of course, so there are far less people here. Still having a great time almost every night:grin:.

good pictures donny.matt i'm glad you're having a good time.pictures are worth a thousand words,but memories are priceless.

 

[Donny]

I've got so many more pics of more, well, less country folk, all glammed up, but, they are on negatives. Sounds like a blast Matt!

 

[detmatt1]

I know I keep posting work pics and I have been having fun as well, just not taking the camera with me when I am. Here are some more pics from the jobsite. From rooftop of one of the pavilions, first one is of is of 2 islands off in the distance, the closer one is Bequi(sure I spelled it wrong) and further off is St. Vincent, where Donny has been, just barely see it in the upper right corner. Other pics are just kool shots I thought you might enjoy. I promise I will take my camera with for some of the liesure time. I already literaly have hundreds of photos of this place from previous visits.:grin:

 

[Donny]

Nice, constant breeze, warm weather, layed back people, easy lovin', No problem man!

So-o-o-o...are you getting any work done or just bleepin' off and teasing us with pics of Paradise:grin::grin::grin:? OK,I saw a power tool in a pic;must mean SOMETHING is getting done.:yes:

Now,all we need is a dragstrip,good fuel,and a street to cruise on,and I think most of us would move there...oh,and an speed shop,engine builder,a machine shop,a welder,a body shop. I'm sure there are bars,so that's covered.:yes:

I may not leave if this place had all that!:rolling:There are only 2 bars on the island not in the workers village, where there are several more. This island is only about 1 mile by 3 miles, very small.:grin:
Am getting some work done, but things do move slowly down here.
Set off in the Mule after work for a swim on the Atlantic Ocean side of the island, a place called Macaroni beach, great place to play in the waves!:grin:. The house in the one pic is new since I have been here and I was told by one of my buddies, who works on the project that I am on full time, that it is 22,000 sq. ft., not bad for a vacation home right?. We left there and went to another part of the island on the Atlantic side that I had not been to since my first time here 4 years ago, I had forgotten how rugged some parts of this place really are, pics really don't do it justice.

What island is it again? Bequia, Battowia? Anything down by Palm Island is too far to see St. Vincent. When you go to Kingstown, a real honey in Lodge Villiage lived/lives there, Marlene, oh lal lah!!!

Mustique is the name of the island and Bequi sits between it and St. vincent. It's about a half hour boat ride.:grin:

This is the first that I have clicked on this thread and just read/looked at it all, very cool.

My plans are to sell all of my property and many of my cars in the next two years (I figure that is how long it is going to take) and then I am going to buy a BIG *** house boat and live on it conducting some tours on the west coast (Pacific side and less humid) of Costa Rica.

Low taxes, socialized medicine, low cost of food, and my domain will be my income source. I will live there 9 months out of the year and spend the summers (their tourist off season) in Sedona which is the absolute best place to be in AZ. in the summer. My kids and grandkids still live here and I don't want to abandon the US completely. Tired of paying $750. per month for $5000. deductable 80/20 insurance, property taxes, insurance, high cost of living, etc.

I have paid my dues in the USA for the last 60 years and am sick of it and what is happening in this country at this time.

Wow sweet place there. It definitely beats zug island I can tell you that. I caught some walleyes there that had sores on em there. Plus the place stinks like S*#T. Have fun out there. Looks like paradise.
