Maryland Pirates 2017 Painkiller Tour #7 (last)

So this sea-story is coming to a close.
On our second to last day we left The Bight, sailed to Cruz Bay, cleared C&I, and then motored to Christmas Cove, Great St. James. Dinner was an excellent pair of pizza's from Pizza Pi VI. They even delivered. There was last minute snorkeling with a lobster and nurse shark. There was all sorts of sea-life under our boat, particular with the underwater lights on after dark. The next morning we motorsailed under jib at 1800rpm and 8 knots and were quickly back to Yacht Haven Grand to top off the tanks, and then to Frenchtown and our friends at CYOA. After grabbing a mooring at CYOA I celebrated with a well earned 9:30am greenie (Heineken) - 34 straight years without dinging a charter boat!

Great report! I'll be looking to do a family charter here in the next couple of years (once the kids are confident swimmers). This gave me some good ideas! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />
