Arrival in Tortolla - British Virgin Islands.

We did an overnight passage from St Marteen leaving about 6pm on Sunday 25th of February arriving in Tortolla the following day and tied up at 2pm.

It was a lovely overnight sail, full moon and lots of stars. I had forgotten just how much I enjoy this sort of nightsail it is great when the weather is nice and enough wind to sail (and yet not too much wind to make it a challenge).

We will do further updates as we go between the different islands but the next two weeks should be nice gentle daysails.

Chris and Lorraine arrived last night and are staying with us for two weeks. We also met up with Martin West last night, he is chartering a yacht for one week and we meet up again tonight.
