Today the ship made three stops. A technical stop (whatever that is) in Tortola, then a regular stop on the other end of the island and then to Norman Island, an uninhabited spot where people come for the day. We never left the ship. We ...
A week sailing in BVI

Rain over the Atlantic
Jost Van Dyke is a fairly undeveloped island, and a favorite of sailors. "The Soggy Dollar" (bar and restaurant) is well named because boaters anchor, and then swim in. It's easier to swim back asfter a few Dark and Stormies (strong rum ...

Sunset at Cane Garden Beach
Tough planning day today! British Virgin Islands is a unique place. The culture and business climate are not open to outsiders and not overly welcoming of groups. It's known as a world sailing capital, and renowned for snorkeling and diving. Walking, ...
Brunch and Hedonism on Tortola

We got up a little later than normal on Saturday (thanks Willy T.) and set sail for the island of Jost Van Dyke, northwest of Tortola. It was a beautiful sail and we got there relatively early in the afternoon, so we headed over to Sandy Cay and ...
