Wow, we've only been back in the BVI's for just over a week, but it's amazing how fast time is flying by lately! We had a great trip back through the islands with many new friends onboard for the journey... and as you know, one of the highlights for everyone was as we sailed out of Guadeloupe one beautifully sunny morning... and sailed passed the volcano of Montserrat as it erupted beside us!

Beautiful sunrise as we sailed away from Guadeloupe!

On approach to Montserrat, the volcano erupted forcing us to divert to sailing up the windward side instead!

Here's our video we've been shooting along the way during the course of our Down Island Adventure... just a sampling of some favorite stops along the way... surmounted by some of the footage I shot as we sailed by the volcano!
