31/1/12

After the delights of Norman Island we have returned briefly to Tortola to get provisions and fuel. Docked in the Sunsail base for a very reasonable US$44 a night. The combined Sunsail and Moorings fleet seems to be mostly in port, which probably means that their parent company TUI is losing money.

Off to Sopers Hole later, then the USVI on the 2^nd to exercise our US Visas.
