It looks beautiful from the water. Anxious to hear how you like it!

Spoke to them today at SDB...apparently they were trying to avoid traffic and went to far West and port pontoon hit reef hard. Sails were down. They said it was like hitting a wall. One girl sprained ankle and another girl cut her achilles slightly and is in boot. They were able to get some stuff out and then after raised at Nanny Cay were able to go back in and get most stuff which was dry. They are celebrating a bday and continuing by land.

They said Navigare has been great and it was 2nd boat to hit reef this month

Lots of new captains out now...we have seen more sketchy boating than normal.

My takeaway is know where the channel is here...relatively new bareboat captain

Bought them painkillers...

That was nice of you! We saw her walk by in the boot when we were at Ivan’s. Second the sketchy behavior out here. As an owner with a boat in charter, makes me a bit sick to my stomach........

Nice having you as a neighbor tonight smile

Oil Nut Bay was great. Daughter and Granddaughter are still at the pool watching the movie. The service was simply outstanding. Every employee we encountered was helpful. The Pizza was great as well. We are off to Anegada in the morning.
On the boat accident I am curious where this actually occurred. Anyone have the exact location?

Likewise my friend...have a great dive and thanks for the drone video. Your new boat is stunning.

George-

News reports had it off of Long Bay so you are already west of Little Camanoe. New bareboat captain and my guess he overshot or didn't know about the correct passage between the Camanoes. We had traffic both ways going through and no issues but of course we have done it many times. They seem to have taken it in stride and fortunately nobody was hurt.

Easy sail today from the N sound to Anegada. Probably about 20 boats in the anchorage. Great day at Cow Wreck and a nice dinner at Wonky Dog. Two nights left. Will decide in the morning where we are going!

Near perfect weather today. 13 knot wind out of the North. Great sale from Anegada to Long Bay JVD. Reaching over to Ginger Island now to snorkle a bit. Simply great day!
