Were off on another adventure this time to the tropics. We have rented a 46 foot catamaran sail boat in Tortolla BVI for 7 days. Were picking it up today after spending the last two days here in St Thomas in the American Virgin Islands at a beautiful little B&B. the Bellavista is a great little spot on the hillside overlooking the harbor. this is a very nice veranda style home, open to the outdoors with a fabulous hostess and nice amenities. Wendy is the proprieter and takes good care of her customers. Buck and Lisa are staying here with us and we have had a good time roaming the very narrow and very busy streets. Of course the town is filled with real tourists (we don't consider ourselves one of them) from the multiple large cruise ships that come in to port every day. Just watched the second one dock this morning from my veranda. So far it is everything we expected and more. We have sampled various Rum drinks with the resulting affects. Painkillers live up to their reputation. We are meeting Sherm and Nancy and Dave and Connie at the boat today. We met Glen and Liz last night. Saw them walking in town from our veranda and they wandered up the numerous steep steps to join us for the afternoon and dinner last night. We ended up at a local restaurant and the waitress was a hoot but the meal left a bit to be desired. Not that it was not good food it just did not fit our tastes.
Probably will not be able to do daily blogs on this trip since the
internet options are limited in the BVI but will post when I can
wish us luck, no one on my boat has ever sailed before for real. A couple short sails in commencement bay with Fran and jeff is all we have ever done. An adventure it will be.
