Back in the USVI

Matt left today after a fun filled week over in the BVI's.  The last post should have been posted on the 26th but Wes forgot to hit publish so we got it posted late.  We spent the last eight days in the BVI's and we were hoping to go to Anegada but the wind was pretty strong making the water pretty rough AND when we were in Sopers Hole a huge gust came up and pulled our jib sail out of the roller and it  got shredded on the spreader.  It really wasn't too much of a surprise because when we were in Man O War getting all the work on the boat done, Jay, who repaired our jib sail said that it probably wouldn't last much longer.  We told him that if he could repair it so we could at least get to St Thomas, that would be great.  Well, we have been in St. Thomas for 3 months now so it lasted a little longer than we anticipated.  We have one on order and it should be here in about 3 weeks.
We did visit Jost Van Dyke (Foxy's), Virgin Gorda (the Baths), Norman Island (The Willy T and the Caves), Sandy Cay and Salt Island where Matt was able to dive the Wreck of the Rhone.  I think he had a great time snorkeling too.  All in all it was an awesome week.


What remains of our jib sail




The dogs had a great time playing Frizbee on the beach at Sandy Cay



Max dug a nice hole in the sand to keep cool
Then Lexie proceeded to take it over when he turned around


And who wouldn't want to live in this beautiful place?  It is definitely paradise.

  1. Loved the pictures of your dogs. Especially the one of it sleeping in the hole.:-) so glad you had time with your son. Your kids are getting to enjoy the life you have now and they will treasure it always. (Much better than when I had to go camping every weekend when I was young!). Keep the beautiful photos coming!
