Logbook Dispatch

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.
