labor day, 2014

In celebration of worldwide Labor Day (May 1st), this afternoon we held a beach BBQ party for Paya Bay's amazing team. Staff members spent a relaxed, good energy time enjoying the new Black Iguana beach bar facility on Bliss Beach. The party included door prizes and fun games like dominoes and beach soccer.

"spread the word"

Thursday evening, as Winnie and I were setting up the beach for the Tribal Beach Party, I asked her rhetorically, "Winnie, we're going to make it through this, right?" I was referring to the flood of bad news the past few weeks regarding the world's financial markets and the resulting economic contraction. Winnie didn't miss a beat, immediately replying, "Oh yeah! We're going to make it! Spread the word!" Her optimism and enthusiasm made my heart and my soul smile. Winnie is the head cook for Paya Bay's food service. Photo Credit: Robert Fullerton.

doing an awesome job

Bannis takes a moment to contemplate a section of the Paya Trail he's been working very hard on. This section above Buccaneer Landing is being built through mostly solid rock. He designs the retaining wall as he goes along, placing the chunks of rock in a pattern that makes them stable without using cement.
