Our next stop in the BVI's- Key Cay. It is located on the south side of Peter Island and is a small isolated anchorage. The beach has lots of treasures. John discovered plenty of Chitons on the rocks and they make great jewelry after they are dried out and polished. Very unique. Daniel is collecting a small shell and found hundreds of them! I am in search of limpets as I am making a limpet shell music chime. We had great fun collecting our treasures! We also discoved some neat rock formations and blow holes on the other side of the beach. It was good fun for the 2 days we spent there. The swell chased us away- got tired of the roll and sleepless nights. It amazes me that the boys have no trouble sleeping through most anything. "What roll?" they will ask in the morning!
We headed over to RoadTown, the capital of the BVI's, to see what it has to offer. Not much! There are at least half a dozen charter boat companies based out of here so lots of marinas. Moorings has a huge fleet here, over 200 boats! We hit the grocery store for some fresh produce, bread and eggs and strolled through the "downtown "area and that was that! Seen it! We did discover the Village Cay Marina which has a nice pool-of course! The boys spent an afternoon swimming and met up with some other kids! super! Marina and TJ are down here for a week chartering a boat and the four of them had a blast!
