Woke up this morning to find that one cannot dive into the bedroom carpet in the morning, as I have gotten used to taking the plunge every morning over the last 12 days.

We did Road Town - Leverick - Anegada - JVD - St John - Norman - Cooper - Road Town, with lots of intermediate stops. Detailed trip report and pix to follow, but a few notes:

*Scott and Donna's (TTOL: Wolf) Privilege 39 Wildcat out of Conch Charters was a great boat. 8 aboard, 4 sets of dive gear, and room to spare. Conch did their usual superb job.

*Dinner at Foxy's was (as always) terrific, but it appears he has gone to an "all-garlic" menu.

*Dinner at Cooper Island Beach Club was excellent, the rum custard too good to describe.

*There is a newish (or at least new to me) 'locals' bar in the Settlement on Anegada. Very fun! Details (from what I can remember) to follow.

*Snorkeling/diving Cistern Point was better than it has been in years.

*Leverick's Friday night buffet ($20 a.u.c.e) was excellent.

*With a cruise ship anchored offshore, White Bay JVD was about as intimate as Times Square.

*St John is great to visit, but transient boaters are only a little more welcome than the Plague.

*Completed the "Triangle"

*Some crew got the T-shirt at the Willy T

*Bomba is looking for a few good vigilantes.

best,

Chuck
