The remaining kayaks from 2009’s virgin island adventure are reassembled.  With a few minor modifications they should be ready for our November 2011 return visit.  For any of my new followers - in 2009 two friends and I built our own kayaks, shipped them down to the Virgin Islands and proceeded to defy the laws of sanity and kayaked island to island. The trip didn’t go exactly as planned (see Oct 2009 posts here on LOTH).  Two of the three original participants are returning this fall to try it again!  We have three other verbal commitments from guys who are willing to join us this year.  We will have to build their kayaks from scratch but with the knowledge we obtained last time, it should go much smoother (I almost said that with a straight face).    At the end of our last adventure when we were all reunited in Cruz Bay, St John we proceeded to get completely faded on rum.  We were debating on whether or not we would ever attempt a trip like that again.  I said that I likened it to what I assume child birth is like for a woman.  It was painful and immediately after I had no desire to do it again, but I assumed the memory of the pain would fade and the desire to do it again would return.  It has.  We are doing it again. Preparation starts today. Deep breath. Go.
