Land Ho! British Virgin Islands
From the log
After 6 days and 4 hours at sea we are now in the British Virgin Islands. The British Virgin Islands consist of three main islands with about 22,000 people: Jost Van Dyke(500), Tortola(15,000), and Virgin Gorda(3000). It is a huge charter boat area with 1000`s of boats. The sailing is great. Provisioning is convenient and they have most everything we like. The official currency is U.S. which makes things very easy! We`ve been here 10 days relaxing, having some fun, and getting some boat projects done. As expected a 1000 mile passage brings a couple of surprises. So we decided to do a couple of repairs before heading for Trinidad. Our insurance still requires us to be in Trinidad, which is below the hurricane belt, by July 1. So we`ll be moving on soon.

Following along from Houston and loving every update. That shot of the anchorage at dawn is going straight on my wall.

We crossed paths with you in Bocas years ago and have been reading ever since. Fair winds to you both.

My grandkids and I look up every island you mention on the map. It has turned into our little geography lesson.

Twenty years of this and still going. You two are the reason we finally put a deposit on a boat of our own.
