Having left the Baths behind we visited Machineel
Bay & Dead Man's Bay (great name) before finding a nice spot to anchor in
Great Habour, Peter Island. This is a large bay with no facilities of any kind
that are open, hence there were only a scattering of yachts sharing the bay
overnight. Presumably those that had someone that could actually cook onboard!
The weather was more settled now and we had an
almost Mediterranean night where the wind dropped away to nothing with barely a
ripple on the water. The only blot on the landscape being a very large rusty
barge moored at the entrance which could have been a little off-putting to those
seeking one of natures unspoilt beauty spots. By now we had decided to pay a
quick visit to the USVI's which are part of the same archipelago but part of the
USA's territory for which we would be needing our visas obtained in Barbados.So
the plan would be to re-visit Sopers to collect our gas bottle which was being
filled and then clear out at Great Harbour (Yes another one) on Jost Van Dyke
before sailing 3 miles over to enter the USVI's at Cruz Bay on the Western
side of St Johns. Oh the best laid plans of mice, men and the couple on
Ajaya.
