Smallest NP ever
Another bout of lolloping – while Kim was hard at work cos I am such a slacker was followed by a trip to the boat club (I think) for a very generous ploughman's lunch. Meeting up with Scott we then travelled around to the Island to the Mt Healthy ...
Little Britain
Even though Tortola is British I again had to go through the immigration rigmarole, and for some reason I can not go and move there and work like the Americans can in the USVI. Sailing and scuba diving are the major attractions to these islands, and it's ...

Don’t be a stick-in-the-mud
Woke up about 20 times in the night as I was conscious that I had an early start ahead of me. As it happens it was not as early as I had thought – as I was stupidly working to the boarding time and not the departure time so I found myself in a near ...
