Sands Hotel Anegada

... As mentioned it is not your typical rental; over used and full of mismatched furniture. This is a vacation home of a wealthy family and it shows. It is very tastefully decorated, well maintained and features recently renovated bathrooms and kitchen. <br><br>Perched on aptly named Windy Hill, high above Cane Garden Bay, the Villa offers spectacular views of both the Bay and Jost Van Dyke. The layout and furnishings give it the ...

Through most of our stay, our decision to go to this beach or that island was made in the moment, but a trek out to Virgin Gorda required a little planning. The ferry only sailed twice a week from Red Hook and left at 8:00 am, generally the time we were just stirring. The nearly three hour journey was so incredibly worth it though. It was lovely sailing past the islands of St. John, Tortola, and countless smaller cayes, some of which were incredibly steep ...

... race for the wooden boats where he came 5th which we are very proud of him for (even if there were only 6 boats in the race, at least he didn't come last!). We raced the next day on Grace and put a good performance, enough to win prizes that bought us all Foxy t-shirts to commemorate the event. It was a lot of fun and I felt proud to be racing Dad's custom built yacht, given she's over 30 years old and has made 3 Atlantic passages ...

C'est le grand jour... et oui, mon passeport arrive aujourd'hui! Nous serons enfin libres de quitter vers nos prochaines destinations. Alors demain matin 6 a.m., si la température le permet, nous quitterons vers Puerto Rico pour y arriver en fin d'après-midi. Je dis si la température le permet car cette semaine, la température a été très changeante. Des grands vents et des pluies soudaines, des 'squalls' que l'on appelle. Cette semaine a ét ...

... recherches internet sur Cuba, sur le Panama du côté de Bocas Del Toro et des San Blas etc. Alors je vais au moins rédiger une petite 'to do list' aujourd'hui, question de mettre mes idées en place. Et demain, j'irai probablement en ville chercher quelques provisions pour cuisiner des petits plats pendant le week-end. Ayant un congélateur sur le bateau et un micro ...

Ce matin, avant de partir, j'en ai profiter pour faire des provisions car il y a un VRAI supermarché à Road Town, avec tout tout!!! Alors en bonne cuisinière et planificatrice que je suis (et un peu insécure de ne pas revoir autant de bonne nourriture disponible avant un bout), j'ai acheté un peu de tout... oh, juste un peu! Une facture de 600$ US!!!! Y'a pas à dire, Petr n ...

... either have sat inside or outside on the deck. The latter is where I opted to sit, in open air, overlooking the wonderful vistas opening up in front of me under the beautiful blue sky and the warm sun. It was quite relaxing. No motion sickness so far. :) (took my gravol pill).<br><br>We finally arrived at the small island Virgin Gorda where we boarded an open-air safari bus for a short 15 minute drive to the famous Baths. Once we arrived at ...

... was ready to pounce upon the dock and tie us off. Myself, well I stood on the foredeck looking like a stunned slack jaw yokel as I saw us careening (4knots) into the restaurant directly ahead. Our berth was the last one in the row, right in front of the restaurant full of lunching diners. Great if we had to make fools of ourselves why did we have to have 50 people front and centre to watch us? After some strategic steering by Pete and some sideways thrusting from ...

... into Cane Garden Bay. <br><br>Mum, Pas and Keegan took the rubbish ashore. Pas tied off the dinghy with two clove hitches, but the movement of the dock was such that the dinghy came loose and started to float away. Keegan swam 25 meters to rescue the craft. Hurray, Keegan!<br><br>We soon began our sail for the day. The seas were very bumpy, esp. after we rounded the west side of Tortola and headed for Norman Island. We had some solid pounding for a while, but it eventually stopped ...

... erittain innoissani vaihtelusta, mutta saa nayttaa hieman kylmalta Bermudalla (20 astetta) kun on tottunut olemaan 30 asteen tasaisessa lampotilassa. Hmm, toivottavasti se lampenee pian. Talla hetkella tarkoitus olla Bermudalla toukokuun loppuun ja sitten suunnataan amerikkaan. Pari tuttu suuntaamassa myos Bermudaan, kuten Mark joten saatan tavata sen siella. Mutta kuten aiemmin totesin - outo poika. Tai ehka mina olen outo.
