Brings back some memories from my first decade sailing in the BVI. That started in 1969 and included helping Ben Spock (he didn't use Dr. when he thanked us) tie up his boat in Road Town and enjoying a scratch band after dinner on Mosquito Island. Our favorite Moorings boat was the Morgan Out Island 41. Those were the days of block ice for refrigeration and anchoring at the Baths (with no wooden steps). Tony Snell briefly had a restaurant on Little Jost and the Bight was full if there were more than a half dozen boats anchored in the northeast corner. I remember suffering a flat tire one evening on my rental jeep and having a local stop to help me change tires. But I'm getting carried away with memories. Back to catamarans, A/C and mooring balls.
