The waters here in Simpson Bay are calm and there's barely a hint of breeze. Many would think that this is the perfect combination for being on a boat in the anchorage. Unfortunately, there is a still a small base swell and it can make life uncomfortable aboard at times. Right now I feel like I'm sitting in my living room on land, but 5 minutes ago the wind pushed the boat sideways to the incoming swell and the harmonics had Zanshin rolling from beam to beam, knocking over a cup in the galley. Despite all my complaints, it is still nice to be here at anchor.

You need to visit us in the BVI's soon!

I'm off to Antigua in a week or so, then I'll probably come back to the BVI for a visit - I hope you'll still be there when I arrive!

Zanshin--will be sorry to see you go, as I enjoy your pictures from 'home'!! Fair winds!!!

Smooth sailing.
