We decided to put our ASA 105 (coastal navigation) skills to the test and plan our route from Trellis Bay, Tortola to North Sound, Virgin Gorda. We set sail in the morning and anchored for lunch at Long Bay, then continued around Mosquito Island to North Sound where we practiced docking the boat different ways, and practiced picking up mooring balls. We called Bitter End Yacht Club on the radio to make dinner reservations once we were within range. After we were safely anchored for the night we went to Saba Rock to enjoy their amazing views. The Toucans and Parrots that used to be there have been moved because they were being harassed by some guests :-(
We returned to the boat to clean up for dinner. The shower in the head wasn't the best, so we all used the shower on the transom until we discovered that it was really difficult to control the temperature. It would get so hot that it would scald you! We then started using gallon water jugs that we filled up in the galley because the temperature was more reliable. Dinner at Bitter End Yacht Club was amazing! We ate at a table right next to the water. We watched the sunset, and we all had a great evening.
What a fun vacation! So glad you're having a good time!
