We have set sail once again!!
So we arrived in the British Virgin Islands about
8.30am local time. checked in at customs, Washed down the boat, checked the
engines, filled the water tanks, re-threaded the main halyard back to internal,
then it was time for a swim before heading off for some lunch and a much needed
beer.
We checked about the diving, unfortunuatly they
only do dives in the morning, so we missed out on that, instead spent a little
longer in the bar at lunch time. Then me and Anthony done some shopping, top up
on stock for the last leg while the guys were sorting out a rope swing form the
spinnaker halyard to swing into the water.
Another quick swim then we all headed into town for
a couple bits and pieces, came back to the boat got ready for tea and had a few
very much needed cocktails. Yumm!!
Early this morning we re-fueled and me and Warren
set off for the ferry, while Rob and Anthony sailed around to St Johns Island.
This is were Warren parted ways and headed for St Thomas Island to catch his
flight back home to the UK.
Now back to 3 people on the boat, no more days off
untill we reach Annapolis. We have good winds so far, pottering along at a good
7 knots. As we were just heading out of all the Islands Rob spots a turtle in
the water, Amazing. Then an hour or so later a dozen or so Dolphins around our
boat, seeing us off.
Heading North North West, Straight towards South
Carolina were we will follow the coast north as we will be expecting some head
winds and we can duck out the way if needs be then up round the coast into
Annapolis.
