We made a really quick trip through the British Virgin
Islands this time. We had originally planned to spend a little more time here,
but we got caught up in the US Virgin Islands while waiting for parts to repair
the windlass and Troy's guitar. Since we got to spend 2 months here last year,
we figured that we had hit most of the “must see” places. One anchorage that we
never made it to last year though was Cane Garden Bay. So, we had a quick sail
over from Francis Bay, St. John to Great Harbor, Jost Van Dyke where we checked
into the BVIs, then headed right back out and sailed over to Cane Garden Bay
and met up with Steve on Alternate Latitude. What a beautiful little place, the
beach is picturesque and the sunsets are spectacular. We spent a day and a half
there enjoying the scenery.
On Wednesday we decided to head on up to North Sound in
Virgin Gorda where we met back up with our cruising buddies on Pipe Muh Bligh,
Island Dream and Illusions. Steve had to head back to St. Thomas where he is
getting his charter business started ----
Gotta make a
plug for Steve here, remember if you book a cruise with him you will get 10%
off by mentioning “Storyville”. You can
book a cruise by clicking HERE ---- and the other boats are now in North Sound waiting for
a weather window to cross the Anegada Passage to St. Martin/Saint Maarten.
Looks like we are all set to leave tomorrow
mid morning for the 18 hour (more or less) crossing. Be sure to watch our SPOT
for location updates.
We've seen some beautiful sights here in the Virgin Islands.
What a fantastic place to visit and sail. My photography doesn't do it justice,
but here are a few photos for your enjoyment:
