The British Virgin Islands

After checking in at Gunn Creek in the BVI's we headed to our favourite anchorage, just off Eustatia Island.  Wonderful clear water for swimming and snorkeling, and within easy reach of Saba Rock for sunset painkillers too!
In Norman Cay, there is a bay where all the boats put an anchor down and then a line ashore.  This is the view off the back steps of our boat, such clear water that it looks like six inches deep, rather than six feet.

Also cruising in this area were a Swedish family on' Elin', great people.  They crossed the Atlantic in their small boat and now will return home, planning to buy a larger boat sometime in the future for more cruising.

I was in touch with a school friend who said that she was also this area cruising on a boat.  As the internet connections were rather patchy, we decided to head for their last known anchorage in Trellis Bay and try and find them.
And find them we did!  'Feelin Good' is a gorgeous 82' Bruce Farr design, built in South Africa,  and owners Art and Tracey were pleased to show us around there beautiful boat.
Celia and I celebrating our reunion with a glass or two of wine on 'No Rehearsal', so good to catch up again.
