Paulito noticed us hovering outside waiting g for fuel dock and came to get us Compton gave me card to call and talk about options due to mainsail malfunction Smiths ferry to St Thomas was frustrating, hot, and would do private water taxi next time.

Easy day from Peter to Norman sightseeing Great anchorage near expensive crewed charters (& Seven). Moored near snorkeling area at Privateer Bay Dinghy ride to the Bight for lunch.

Medium winds and hot but beautiful Day Picked up anchor at Spanish Town and motor sailed to a mooring g at Trellis. Dropped the Martindales at the airport Motor sailed around Great Dog and George dig but no nice anchorages. Found an awesome spot all alone at South Bay Ginger Island. Anchored in 25 ft with 100 ft chain and swam around a bit. Got some sun and relaxation. Took some pics and videos. Really cool place. Anchor was against a rock but came up fine. Went around to Cooper Island for late lunch. Mooring area with crazy twisting winds and crowded so we kept going after lunch and rest. Moored at Great Harbor Peter Iskand near Ocean 7 club that seems remodeled but not open. Possibly looking at Sprat Bay and the Peter Iskand resort tomorrow

Medium wind. Beautiful day Motored through Saba Rock area and Prickly Pear island Motor sailed to Spanish Town and through small vessel passage. Anchored in 9.5 ft with 70 ft chain. Great snorkeling Dinghy to our beach — “Dinner” at 3:45 Sugar Cane assisted by Mr Dependable — will add to my contacts. Steak Frites were excellent. Back to boat and snorkeled this reef — cool fish.

More peaceful. A couple of mild rain showers. Easy exit from Anegada. Motor sailed with jib. No problems FCFS ball at Leverick and had lunch there. Some grocery shopping — nice store Back on ball for swim with jellyfish Toured over to Bitter End and looked at Saba Rock Back to Keverick for fuel but was crowded. Got another ball. Then fuel. Them back on ball. Fuel 85 gallons — $470 Mike grilled kabobs with baked potatoes. Excellent night

Great tour of Jost from Cat. To Smugglers and anchored for a short time but not out of swells Really windy with apparent up to 30 a couple of times. Lots of spray in the face. Karmen worried about LaNell. Motor sailing with Jib. Would not do that again. Steak and lobster at Potters was great

Windy and a couple of showers Karmen got mooring ball in the rain and wind first try.

Great wind We let Navigare get out of the tight marina slip Learned about furling boom. Some issues with it catching on topping line Problems with dual electric throttles but fixed with either position or reset breakers in engine bay Mooring ball at Peter Island great harbor. Karmen did awesome

Better wind but didn’t sail. Got boat ready to turn in. Smooth approach and fuel dock. 142 gallons — $800 ish. Great trip overall. Eric is fuel dock master Mauro is Navigare manager Jeff did a great job.

Cinnamon rolls from McIntosh then enough wind to sail for a few hours. Lunch at Grabbers after mooring ball there. Cody did great and took us out of Harbour area. Snorkeling on Tombstone Reef outside of Fowl Cay. Anchoring there went well. Really cool snorkeling. Kendra with fish scare. On to Hopetown for different mooring technique for mom.
