s/v Silhouette

The next photo we have we are in Trellis Bay (Beef Island to the east of Tortilla) for two nights. The first night we had a lovely dinner ashore, the second night was the ‘Full Moon Party’ on the beach. These balls are stuffed with cardboard and paper and set aflame soon after dark. Much dancing and fun for all. We took the lazy (cheap) way out, packed a cooler, jumped in the dinghy and watched from the water. It was very cool and we avoided the crowds. Some friends saw us and told up later that they wish they had thought of it as well.

Why me?

Jenny is a self-proclaimed non-cook – here we catch her in the galley so the gig is up. (She is however a wonderful washer-upper!)

Foxy's again

Naturally our first stop is Jost Van Dyke to check into BVI customs and stop at Foxy’s.

Something to see in Red Hook

I was in Red Hook in the 80's and there was very little to see (no buildings, no stores, but maybe a bar and a place to rent a small sailboat). Now, it looks (an is) a small community...ahh how times change...

Jerry and Jenny arrive...

Jerry and Jenny finally arrive February 23 for their first time in the Virgins for the first time in years. Yeah! You may remember that Jerry crossed the Gulf of Mexico with us at the start of our journey so we were hoping that this rip would be a bit more laid back.

Dave and Rae Ann

Finally, we catch our friends Dave and Rae Ann in a photo. We had a photo of their children (4 & 6, or 5 & &) many months ago but somehow they escaped the photographer. They have now left the Virgins and have transited the Panama Canal and should be on their way to the Galapagos. I know some of you have had a lot of fun following our blog so in case you would like to check out their blog (as they are also on their way to the South Pacific) here is the link: http://duerfamilycruising.blogspot.com/
