Great Harbour, Jost Van Dyke, BVI |
Katreena wants lobster so it's off
for Jost. Winds pretty squirrelly, but made good time nonetheless.
Rudy's is closed so we had dinner at Foxy's. Food and entertainment
were great. |

Fundraising
regatta for the Moravian Church sponsored by the Coral Bay Yacht
Club. Crew included Jim
Phillips & Beva Rodriguez, Dan & Mary Davis, Ruth Ann, Ed, and
Larry & Jane Brown. Big barbeque on shore but most everyone
stayed aboard. Bay full of cruisers and a good time was had by
all. Layed
LM a bit close to shore and bumped rudders on the bottom so had
to re-anchor a bit further out. |

Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour, Virgin
Gorda, BVI |
Sail
on to VGYC, noticing the Puerto Rican "Navy" has
us surrounded. Will be very crowded for Easter weekend. Almost
dead calm so sails are doing very little. Barely got a slip and
secured for night. Lunch at Bath & Turtle. Rob and Kathy from
St. John joined us for dinner at Chez Bamboo. Very nice. |

Anegada, BVI |
Battled for the fuel dock at VGYH and
had a brief scare when their pumps were not operating. But they
were restored
and we fueled up. Rob and Kathy joined us for the ride north. Another
dead calm day with the mainsail pretending to help. Beautiful day,
got lucky and found a mooring for the night. Lunch and dinner at
Anegada Beach Hotel. |

Rented
a safari truck and toured the island. Very much like most Bahamanian
islands…flat with
pretty beaches and great reefs. Had a beer at Cow Wreck Bar. Sunbathed,
snorkeled and lunched at Big Bamboo. Got to swim with some Hawksbill
Turtles. Dined aboard: barbeque chicken and trimmings. |

Easter brunch at Neptune's Treasure.
Rob and Kathy gave us rides to the beach off Cow Wreck where we
spent
a
lazy day in and out of the water. Nice lunch at their restaurant
and a free cab ride home. Dinner at Neptune's Treasure. |

Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour, Virgin
Gorda, BVI |
Ted and his friend Jamie joined us
for a sail to Virgin Gorda. The seas were pretty rough (5-8 foot
on the bow) and Jamie got seasick toward the end. Tricky slip near
the seawall with a 25 knot crosswind, but all went well. Good thing,
due to the size of the audience. Had lunch at the Bath and Turtle
and then took a cab to the Baths and had a pleasant time; very
few tourists. Cocktail at Top of the Baths. Spent the night at
VGYC and had dinner at The Rock. Ambiance was nice but chilly for
outside dining and food only average. |

North Sound, Virgin Gorda, BVI |
Early departure to North Sound. Entered
through Anguilla Point cut and found smooth water within. Moored
at the Bitter End Yacht Club. Cruised over to BEYC to have lunch
but none was being served so we dinghied over to Leverick Bay and
ate at the Lighthouse (formerly Pussers). Back to the boat for
read and relax. Dinner at Saba Rock Resort. Pleasant dinner, amazing
conversion of the Pirate's Pub. |

Explored BEYC some more. Katreena and
I hiked a great and rigorous trail over the peak and down to Biras
Creek Resort. Gorgeous views. Cruised over to Prickly Pear Island
and had lunch at the Sand Box. A mooring became available here
so I dinghied over to the BEYC and fetched L. Moon. Weather was
spectacular so we dined aboard. |

Had hoped that the prevailing winds
would give us a nice spinnaker day, but the winds all but died.
Weather was clear but calm, so we motorsailed home. |
