It’s been a pretty good week because we got to check a couple of things off our bucket list. We made it over to the BVI’s on Friday and we anchored in Trellis Bay on Tortola Sunday and Monday night. We planned it so we could finally get to the Full Moon Party on Monday night. We have been to the BVI’s numerous times but we never made it to the Full Moon Party before. It was a lot of fun with lot’s of food and music. Then around eight they start lighting several of these metal balls on fire.
The other thing that we we wanted to do is get to Anegada. We always talked about doing it on the bareboats that we rented but there was always someone that got a little sea sick so we were never able to get there. It’s about 15 miles north of Virgin Gorda and all open ocean so it can get a little rough. We had really good wind on Monday and sailed (without engines) all the way over. It was awesome. We rented a motorbike and explored the island (all 11 miles) It’s a very flat island with a salt pond in the middle where there are pink flamingos. We couldn’t get close enough too them to take pictures though. It’s a nice island and I’m glad we finally made it.

Hey Wes & Karen. I've been reading your blog from the very beginning. All the way from the day you bought your boat. I thought it would be appropriate for me to comment on this blog page with the photo of our cottage on Anegada. We truly enjoyed dinner and cocktails with you two on the Diversion. We miss Lexie and Max. Keep up the great blog. I'm enjoying the journey. Kevin Kramer
ReplyDeleteKevin, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed living it. Hopefully we will run into each other in the future. Keep in touch.
