Motor sail back to Trellis Bay with a snorkel stop at Marina Cay - best snorkelling in 3 years visiting.  Swell was much bigger again than yesterday !

BVI Day 26

Tropical Escape

Night out on Willy T’s on Norman Island, after a selection of cocktails at Pirates Bight - wild!!  Early morning start, motoring up to The Baths….. not early enough it would seem, based on the queues of cruise ship tourists snaking through the rocks.  Interesting work getting the crew in and out through the surf, with a decent north swell running.  Popped into Spanish Town Yacht Harbour for visa renewal purposes and then high-tailed it round to North Sound, VG for a late lunch at Nova and then finally back to pick up a mooring at Bitter End.

BVI Day 25

Overnight in Cane Garden Bay, became rather rolly so pretty happy to leave.  Motored down to Sopers Hole and dropped the crew off for brunch while C&V hung around when we couldn’t find any mooring balls.  Motored off to The Indians for a fabulous snorkel, then into Norman Island for the night.  

 BVI Day 24

Little hop day - White Bay for the crew to dinghy in for a painkiller at The Soggy Dollar, motor round to Little JVD to check out The Bubbly Pool, lunch at Foxy’s Taboo and then a drink at The B-Line Bar.  Finished up crossing over to Cane Garden for the night.  Lovely, calm, warm & sunny day 😎

BVI Day 23

Lovely sail/ motor sail along the north coast of Tortola and offlying islands.  Quick stop at Sandy Cay so the crew could have a taste of their very own tropical island!!

BVI Day 22

After a fun day in a couple of mini mokes driving round Anegada had a lovely sail all the way down to North Sound, VG.  Single reef in, sea far smoother than the passage up.

BVI Day 21

Excellent meal at Cooper Island overnight, visit to the coffee shop and boutique first thing then sailed off the mooring all the way up to the Anegada Channel entrance.  Upwind all the way, with 2 reefs in, wind gusting to 30 kts and SOG up to 7.5 kts.  What a cracking sail ⛵️😎🤗

BVI Day 19

Picked up our new crew yesterday evening - Ian & Ali, Adam & Sam.  Windy night, gusts over 30 knots.  Watched breakfast time catamaran carnage in Trellis Bay, thankfully avoiding “Tropical Escape”.  Motored round to Monkey Point on Guana Island for a first day snorkel for the crew then motored & sailed back to Cooper Island.  Still pretty blowy, we’ll look to head up to Anegada another day!
