Hi All,

Sorry so late on this report. I'll keep it concise.

After a very stressful set of circumstances getting to the islands (see "Willie Make It"), we arrived in the islands on Island Birds (rating- 10)

Anchorages:

North Sound
Marina Cay
Cooper Island
Great Harbor, Peter Island
Cane Garden Bay
White Bay, JVD
Great Harbor, JVD
The Bight, Norman Island

Highlights:

Christmas in the BVI. Decorating the boat. Our little tree were all nice. Church on Chrismas day on Virgin Gorda was one of the best experiences I've ever had on island. Very nice holiday with the family.

Meeting up with our BVI TTOL friends at CRC on New Years Eve. (Malcolm, Candace, Walker, Nancy, Tom Garvey and crew...)Great Gumbo. We thank TTOL SO MUCH for bringing us together in this way. Quitos afterward was awesome as well. (We won't talk about Tyler challenging me to a race on the beach that night)

Becoming certified divers with my kids. Blue Water Divers were awesome. I will post a couple of my underwater videos soon.

Biggest disappointments of trip:

1) Not meeting up with Saildoggie and Family. Sorry Mark.

I found a couple new secret daytime places this trip.... But, I promised my kids I wouldn't post them. ~Sorry <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

I was EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH:

Delta Airlines-- Wow, they went out of their way for us.

Corsairs-- VERY awesome dinner

JVD Police Dept. -- Found my Dinghy. I promise to get the officers again. (I am so embarrased that I forgot it) I will post my thanks to him again here. He was so very great.

Abi at Blue Water Divers

TMM (as always)
