VIRGIN ISLAND QUICK TRIP October 15-22, 2018

The old Caribbean held numerous tropical depressions still moving about the area, but we took advantage of a bargain price for the boat to give it a try.  And it was a little breezy and a little rough at times.  The boat sometimes just shook.  I was happy that it was all new riggin’!   But fun, of course.

We headed to the new Moorings Yacht Charter after being hit by Hurricanes Irma and Maria and chartered a new 38 foot sloop.  There was still much damage to be seen but the new marina base was in good condition.  The new restaurant, Charley's, was over the top good.

The dinghies were all brand new and larger with older engines.  The winds would move about and change their minds frequently.

But with a little rum, certain adversities can be overcome.  Soon we were out on the open waters.

Many of the old bars and restaurants had not yet had time to rebuild and re-open.  But, of course, Foxy's had itself all put together.  Maybe "the party never ended"!

We rented a car at Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour and drove to the Hog Heaven Bar situated high on some cliffs with breathtaking views of Leverick Bay in the background.  Our sailing itinerary was a confused one throughout the week as the winds and seas made decisions for us.  But we had a great time. The BVI is easy to get to and easy to get around.  It will be good as new very soon.
