PIZZA IN THE COVE

1730 hours, April 12th, 2015, Christmas Cove, Great St. James Island, VSVI: We picked up a fresh, custom made pizza from the "Pizza Kitchen Boat" in the Cove,  we had ordered 20 minutes earlier. And, it was great!  

We had watched tenders come from outside the Cove all afternoon to a boat with flags on it at the other end of the cove. We finally rode our dinghy over to see what was going on and found the Pizza Kitchen Boat. They were taking orders by VHF radio from boats as far away as St. John Island. Each order was custom made with your choice of toppings. The operators were an entrepreneurial young couple who had converted their sail boat into a floating pizza kitchen, with a dinghy drive up Lane and pickup window on the stern. 

Earlier in the day we had taken the dinghy and explored Little St. James Island, just south of Great St. James. This is a private island owned by Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein is a financial advisor to billionaires like Leslie Wexner owner of Limitless, who I have discussed in earlier blogs. In addition to being one of Mr Epstein's several homes including the largest town house in Manhattan, this 70 acre Island is often used for conferences on cutting edge scientific and medical research. Mr Epstein, a bachelor, recently finished serving a jail sentence for soliciting prostitution.
