Late start slept aboard Road Town Day 1 - 730am Boat brief off to Baths close hauled 20knots SE Day 1 - Overnight on a BEYC ball Day 2 - Anagada - 22knots NE (one reef) Rented a jeep from DW and went to Loblolly (the best snorkel of all time) and Cow Wreck. Bought Walker a beer. Dinner at Neptunes and shots and fishing tips with Randall Thielman -- nice guy. Day 3 - North sound 20 knots E NE. Dolphins on the bow mid-way. Moored at Saba. Took dink over to N. shore of Prickley. 2 hr snorkel. Dinner at Saba. Day 4 - Run in light air (NE 9-12knts) to Peter. Peter to Indians then into Bight for overnight and dinner at Pirates. Checked out Willy T for the first and last time. Day 5 - Back to road town for a 930 cab. (Took a sailboat, a cab, a ferry, a plane, a train, a car and arrived at home around 11pm)....
My crew had never sailed before and all were great with the amount of ground covered. It was not too much and did not feel rushed. Yes the days were full, but the daily routine allowed enough down time for everyone to relax. No novels were read, but all rum, vodka, wine and beer was expired by the close of the night in the Bight. I will post some pics and some more takes on the trip later. We had no mechanical issues or crew illness. As usual we floated the dink gas can in the Sir Francis and the painter found both props (in a 2 hour span!). My fault for not being more deliberate in my instructions about the painter, I will bring a white board next time... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/hammer.gif" alt="" />
