They'll ferry
from Tortolla to Charlotte Amalie in St Thomas, and then take a taxi
back to the airport from there.

| Ross and Will: don't leave us!!!!! |
Not exactly sure what OUR plans are for the day, but we've decided to do a bit of housekeeping (laundry, pick up some more "provisions" etc.), and we'll see where the day (and seas take us). We may never come home...
More later -
What a day!
We started out shopping for some provisions at Soper's Hole Marina.

| Shop, shop, shop |
Then Doug took the helm and steered us out into the Caribbean!
Goodbye to Soper's!
And we're off!
As you can see, it's been a very stressful week...
We chose Norman's Island aka Treasure Island as our next destination. Norman Island, locally known as Treasure Island because of legends of pirates and buried treasure there, is believed to have inspired Robert Lewis Stevenson's Treasure Island.
Unhooking the dinghy:
Pulling into the Treasure Island dinghy dock -
Beautiful stop!
Cheers! We have motor oil!
A quick shot at Treasure Island
The sun started to set as we were nearing Nanny Cay Marina for the night.
Set in one of the finest and most central locations in the BVI, Nanny Cay is located on the South side of Tortola, between the capital Road Town and West End.
And we're off!
As you can see, it's been a very stressful week...

Who's steering the ship? Can you say "autopilot?"

As we arrived we heard, "Fire in the Hole" and this gentleman fired a small cannon!
Cheers! We have motor oil!

The sun started to set as we were nearing Nanny Cay Marina for the night.
Set in one of the finest and most central locations in the BVI, Nanny Cay is located on the South side of Tortola, between the capital Road Town and West End.
Nanny Cay is a fully equipped marina and boat repair facility has berths for 180 motor cruisers and yachts. It includes 40-room hotel, two restaurants (the Genaker Cafe and Peg Leg Landing), a small supermarket, shops and boutiques, dive shop, WiFi, gym and spa. You can use the volleyball court, relax by the beach or a large swimming pool which overlooks the beautiful Sir Francis Drake Channel- where you can watch the yachts sail by.
Another fabulous sailing day wraps up! We're here for the night, and we decided to dine aboard the vessel.
***One mishap - as we were coming in from exploring around the marina Peggy slipped and twisted her ankle. She quickly had a golf ball size bump, but after rest, ice, compression and elevation - and Voltaren (thank you Cate and Dr Cullen), she's on the mend. But...probably no dancing tonight...And Bill had an unidentified nose scrape that resulted in him looking like he had just gotten out of the boxing ring. Then Doug had a fight with the dinghy that resulted in a scrape.
Guessing MY days are numbered?
