Sea View Hotel Road Town

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 ...

... clearly have small children and the Villa is set up with this in mind. The decks are child safe and the pool area secure from the house. Beyond that the entire outdoor area is walled off, so there is no possibility for the children to leave the Villa unattended. This is a great comfort and removes a big source of stress from your holiday if you have small children; they can’t fall, drown or escape so long as you keep the ...

... the ship's doctor stationed on the 4th deck. After a quick check up of blood pressure, etc.... I was given an needle of something plus sea sickness pills. :( Happy to report that after two hours, I felt better, not 100% myself but better. <br><br>Therefore, today, I stayed on board instead of visiting St. Thomas island. Since we were doing two cruises with Caribbean Princess - Southern &amp; Western being back to back, last week, we had the luxury ...

... our anticipation was rising. We enjoyed every minute of it, walking at a fast speed being anxious to arrive. It took a good 10 minutes. <br><br>When we finally reached the end of the trail and stepped out of the woods, an unimaginable view was opening up in front of us. A spectacular white sandy beach with turquoise clear water surrounded by these big huge greyish boulders, all naturally packed together with secluded passages, it was ...

... was a very pleasant tour which lasted 4 hours. Before boarding the ship, we shopped around the port, had lunch and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon by walking around. We also visited several boutiques and jewelery stores. Souvenirs were purchased. Mi bought me a Genuine Rainbow Sapphire bracelet set with diamonds. <br><br>As the ship slowly made its way out of the harbour, the sun was ...

... were the entire middle section of an island surrounded by three separate bodies of water, and bikes, boats, snorkelling gear and an ipod were available with each room. The restaurant served totally top-class tropical food and cocktails. We spent one free day enjoying the delicacies, beach and boats before our exodus to an even more secret location where our shows happened. The entire island had been booked for ...

... 24 hours due to a medical emergency on her Friday flight out of SFO. Saw Mum immediately upon arrival at Moorings. They had just been allowed on board the Dutchess, so we joined them. The base was extremely crowded -- tons of people leaving today (my theory is a lot were supposed to leave yesterday but their flights were delayed.) Spent the next several hours doing the usual pre-sail prep: stowing our provisions, boat briefing, going ...

... find a place to leave ours. Then, we all jumped in the water and swam (with swells, holding cameras aloft) to shore. <br> <br> The Baths are beautiful rock formations -- giant boulders, forming tunnels and caves, sitting on the edge of the tourquoise sea. The five of us walked the "Devil's Beach" trail. It was fairly crowded, so we tried to follow a small group through the waist-high water under giant rocks leaning against one another. <br><br>The route was clearly off the beaten ...

... Palomitos are little fish that swim close along the shore in shallow water. They swim where the waves kick up the sand because they eat the small worms that are in the surf zone. They are hard to see because the are a silvery fish that blends into the sandy bottom. We snorkel to the beach here because it is just a nice swim and the waves are breaking on the beach so it is hard to land the dingy. It was rolly coming over here. Tomorrow we are going Megan's Bay. I hope it ...

... great fun and we completed over 750 miles by log. Navigating by sextant is very difficult and we found our EP and DR were a better indication of our position the sextant fixes confirm ing where we were later. Sight reduction at sea in a hot and rolling saloon is exceptionally difficult. Lucky i am crew for the next 600 plus passage, to Trinidad, in my off watch time i can ...
