Bert,

You are talking to a starving man here....lobster! Boiled three minutes and dipped into melted butter ...piece by piece? Cold rum drinks...like Don Q rum.....and conch fritters? Oh, my...hmmmmm...which airline serves your place? Sunshine, warm clear water....Double Breasted Booby Birds? You must be suffering....sheer misery down there I bet!

When I lived in St. Thomas in '86, we'd buy bottles of the locally-produced Cruzan Rum for, like, $1.99. Drank that stuff like water (in fact, we weren't even supposed to drink the tapwater in our condo - dang cisterns). Even now, a Coke just doesn't taste the same without being healthily diluted with Virgin Island rum. Ah, the memories...

Hey, I'm with Bert. Drinks and dinner at the Mafolie! I'll buy.

Rotordog is a wimp....wimp I say. A real helicopter pilot colors his rum with coca-cola. Besides...rum is cheaper than coca-cola...that way your money goes further.

Back when Vieques, PR. had dirt streets, no telephones, and only cistern water....one could do the Sunday cock fight outing....drink large rum drinks for a quarter (0.25 USD to our tea drinking friends) and have a very snoozy day before it was all over. Wake up as the sun was setting and all the action at the arena was over.

Cool rotorhead bash

I'm a little too far south (west palm beach), or I'd be in....and seeing as i'm still paying muy dues as an instructor, it's a weeks salary in gas to drive up there....you guys have me seriously craving a rum & coke right now though!

Man you havent tasted rum till you have been under the influence of BUNDERBURG RUM. (OP or UP) is of course your choice

I am sure the Australaisians here will agree, makes Cruzan Rum and DonQ seem like coca cola

Cuzz, if you are out there listening..........get off your raft and input pls..?
