We are now in Cane Garden Bay , a small bay with a few bars and about 30
odd other boats all american charter boats. Having spent a few days I
can confirm that the only thing british in the british virgin islands is
us and the weather..
We had three days in a small marina waiting for the worst of the weather
to pass and at that time did not realise how big the US presence is. We
have now sailed to the top of Virgin Gorda a lovely spot with a club
that was a bit euro disney, out of 200 yachts I think they were all US
charter , fortunatly there were a few charter boats with the red ensign
so all is not lost; also I am fairly sure that more than one had an
owner from Bury St. Edmunds. It would be fair to say that Ralphs 80ft
cat looked fairly small next to the big kit, we just do not count.
Weather has turned better, as we have to get back to Antigua I hope this
holds as seas were a bit big; but bot imposable.
Sea turtel was swimming in bay, hope he avoids prat yank in spead boat,
also Pelicans are impresive.
Super market in village had american news on; apparantly there markets
are not good, if you hear and see them I can not think why any one
would invest in them.
As we are now in a more tourist area we are missing out on Pirats of
Carribian, presumably not filmed up here.
Jos Van Dyke next , presumbly a dutch connection.
