After several rounds of re-planning and another near cancellation due to the ferry postponement, we decided to brave it and I'm watching the sun rise in Road Town Harbor.

The trip went smoothly - overnight flight from SEA to CTL, then STT and Island Birds to EIS. We were processed through the just-opened welcome center, received our day 0 covid test and our tracking bracelets. They are just like a chunky wristwatch and there is a piggyback charger battery that is charged via USB and transfers the charge to the watch, which obviously is not easily removed. With just two aboard, being confined to the boat doesn't feel like a hardship so far.

There were only about a dozen passengers arriving at the same general time, and it is clear that the current procedures would be too slow to process a high volume of arriving passengers without significant delay. Everyone was polite and seemed to be doing their best.

Our boat ( Leopard 40 ), which entered charter service almost exactly one year ago looks to be in good condition, it probably only went out a half dozen times with no charters since March. The boat is very very clean, with all linens and cutlery sanitized and bagged. Our ordered provisions were on board and are largely what we ordered, with a few substitutions and omissions.

Ordering no-touch dinner service from the MYC restaurant.
We are scheduled for our 4 day covid test on Sunday, when we are expected to dock at Nanny Cay and shuttle to the test facility.

We hope to head out later today for one of the Q anchorages on Norman or Peter island.
