Katitche Point Greathouse Virgin Gorda

It's quite difficult to find good sushi in the BVI. The BVI Yacht Club has a Sushi Night each Thursday and the sushi is okay. The Dove Restaurant in Road Town has a small sampler selection which is better. So, when reports reached me that Sky Restaurant had employed a Japanese Teppan Yaki and Sushi chef and was producing excellent quality sushi 6 nights a week some friends and I decided to pay a visit to celebrate a birthday ...

... are air conditioned; however with the house opened up, the high location affords a wonderful breeze that blows through the rooms keeping all cool within a simply wonderful indoor/outdoor living space overlooking some of the most spectacular scenery and tropical foliage you will find anyplace on earth. I should also note, although open, we encountered no mosquitoes in the house; which I think also can be attributed to the high ...

... and it's been hard to crack the whip at the boys and tell them to do school work while this underwater oasis continues to beckon them. I ...

Dear Blog,<br><br>Welcome to Tortola, British Virgin Islands, home for sun worshippers and yachtmen alike. The constant winds along the Sir Francis Drake Channel make it ideal for sailing conditions while the secluded beaches, incredible vistas make the islands a wonderful place to visit. Well, here I am today ready to see all of this! The island was once known as a hideway for pirates and freebooters. Cool!<br><br>The British Virgin Islands ...

... old metal balls, rusted from years under the sea, with cutouts, leaving behind intricate patterns. Gorgeous but hard to ship home. We bought some t-shirts and jewelry as gifts instead. While my parents checked out the route to the airport (foreshadowing!) we bought milk and disposed of rubbish. (Wonder if they still take the rubbish out on a barge and dump it in the passage; we saw a barge burning something yesterday -- maybe it's burnt ...

A nice, calm night -- a couple of squalls but very comfy. No anchor watch required. I was the first one up, and, shortly after, the Moorings maintenance man appeared to look at one of our engines, which had been belching white smoke. He made a few adjustments, then sent us on our way. With only Pas, Paul, and I awake, we decided to set sail for the Baths on Virgin Gorda. We pulled away from our mooring, then, once clear of the other ...

... the bar for miso soup and sushi (in San Juan? really?) -- and potato chips with wasabi (mmm). Then, to bed.<br><br>18 November<br><br>Up early; shower; mediocre (at best) breakfast. Checked into flight ... but it was delayed about 1.5 hours (not that they tell you; it just fails to board on time). Turns out that the St. Thomas airport was out of power, which delayed almost all flights since St. T is such as hub. <br><br>In any case, finally flew the 25 minutes to Beef Island, were ...

... too. I'm fortunate to have been on the island one of the days just a couple of ships are in port, so I decide today is the day to venture to Virgin Gorda. This means I am going to have to drive to Road Town. Which also means I am driving up and back down the mountain, a thought that does not excite me this morning. Surely it can't be as bad as yesterday, right? I most certainly do not have my map down yet, and once again have no idea if I am ...

... time. Tortola turned out to be the most beautiful island we had been to yet. We headed straight to Smugglers Bay for a snorkel and on arrival Murphs underwater camera died, so predictably the water was amazing with fantastic coral and massive multi coloured fish. So you'll just have to use your imaginations. We ttravelleddown the north coast from the west of the island, the roads were unfeasibly steep and bendy, but as we came around each corner, we where ...

So i joined Lethantia in Gran Case, St Maarten. At that stage I would have happily done the job for free (glad the owners didn't know bout that, though) cos we got meals, free acommodation &amp; free transport to exotic locations. The owners ...
