Family just returned from the best trip of our lives. Chartered a 47' Powercat, captained by me. First mates were my family and they did a great job! An 11 & 17 year old, mom and family friend.

Day 1: Got checked out on the boat, made a quick run outside harbor to get feel of the boat and family did a few moorings/anchors. Headed to Norman for the afternoon. First attempt to mooring, forgot to pull in dingy line and got wrapped in the port side prop! Shut engine down and mooringed with starboard engine and slow stearing. Spent my first dive unwinding rope. All came loose without cutting and good to go. Snorkeled the caves then moved to Kelly's Cove for the night. Maui Maui fillets on the grill , few drinks and great company began our first night!

Day 2: Headed early to Cooper Island. My 11 year old and I finshed our PADI dives 3 & 4. Great dive spot. The girls snorkeled/laid out. Met for diner at CIYC. Food and service was great.

Day 3: 5:45 am - headed straight for Anegada. Amazing. Everything i expected. Spent day at Cow Wreck (great burgers) and ate lobster at Lobster Trap that evening. Doesn't get any better.

Day 4: Went back to the beach, Cows Wreck and Lobolly. Got back to the boat around noon and headed out to Guana Island. Cut throught the Lee Bay which was great. Snorkeled Monkey which was the best. Ended up at Marina Cay for the evening. Diner at Pussers.... really good.

Day 5: Made the loop around Scrub and north side of islands, beautiful....storms kicked up so we tucked into Brewers for a while. As they passed we continued on to CGB and then to JVD - White Bay. Took dingy around the point for diner at Foxy's. Don't suggest that dingy ride again after dinner!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Disappointed in people in GH, man peeing vertually in the road as we walked from grocery store to Foxy's. Didn't like the feel for the family - probably wont go back or i'd stay in White Bay at Ivans or Soggy's.

Day 6: Headed around Sopers and back to Road Town.

All i can say is amazing! Really appreciate the help on this site... Especially J Stone - thanks for your suggestions - great help. Pictures will follow tomorrow. AWESOME TRIP! Already planning for next year!
