Day 7
 
Sailed from Spanish town to Virgin Gourda Sound - where we anchored near Saba Rock - the home of Bitter End Yacht club, about 1 mile from Richard Branson`s Necker Island. We approached the Sound through a narrow bouyed channel through the coral reef where heavy surf was crashing ashore. It made the trip a bit scarey - but the benefit was a beautifully sheltered turqouise watered sound. - Gin clear. Anchored next to a very pretty Dutch Sloop.
 
Helen, sporting the Piton Beer Apron, ( gifted to MM by Tom`s cruise pals - Dani - Tory - Kingy & Nick ) rustled up Pancakes and Bacon with Maple syrup - yummy! ... Meanwhile Peter swam ashore to Prickly Pear Island.
