Dec. 22
Esther & Dan are a young adventurous couple from Switzerland whom we met last month around the midpoint of their 6 WEEK sailing holiday. They have sailed extensively and we marveled at some of the quiet, out of the way bays they’ve anchored in for the night in the BVI.
We met them in Trellis Bay this week and attended the festivities of the Full Moon Party that occurs there at every full moon. There were bands playing a mix of Christmas songs and fungi (pronounced “foon’-gee”), BBQs, Jumbie Dancers, fireballs and burning structures, and lots of liquid refreshments. Amidst all of this, there also were artists engaged in their various crafts, such as pottery wheel, raiku, jewelry, or weaving. The highlight for me was watching the young Mocko Jumbie Dancers hop around effortlessly despite the strong breeze blowing on the uneven sandy shore. They paused every now and then to pose for pictures among the palm trees.
