We went out "on the town" last night to Shrimpy's - it was only supposed to be the two of us, but we ended up as a party of eight - great fun and great food. We were in company with Art and Judy from "Ciboney", Geoff and Jo from "Sutton Hoo" and Bob and Maggie from "Tangleweed". Mike is the guy that runs the cruiser's net in the mornings here, every morning. Click here for Shrimpy's

Just got some photos from Marilyn, Dalry, in Scotland - we reckon we just have to put up with another day of "hell in paradise" in the Caribbean!!

We left the BVI's on Sunday 4th March, arriving in Simpson Bay on Monday morning at 3.30 AM in the dark (obviously)! It was a lovely sail, for once the wind was kind to us and the sea was calm, with just a bit of swell. We arrived on the last day of the Heineken week and the bay and the lagoon were full of every type of boat you can imagine. Altogether manic!
While we were in the BVI's a photographer from Yacht Shots came and took us sailing through the islands - there's about 25 shots of Freya sailing from Norman Island to Peter Island on the web - see "www.yachtshotsbvi.com", click on the date 25th February and then look down the alphabetic list until you get to "Freya". Click on Freya and hey, there we are!!

A dolphin decided to swim into Great Harbour to keep us company. It (we think it was a "she" put on a terrific display. Alan decided to go swimming with the dolphin, but because evening was approaching the photographs didn't turn out.

01/Feb/2006, ICW at Great Bridge
Alan and Anne on "Freya of Clyde" are happily back in Charlotte Amalie in the US Virgin Islands. We've now been on the boat for nearly 3 years and in that time we've travelled over 10,000 miles. We reckon it's time we shared our experiences with anyone who might be interested. Here's a photograph of "Freya" on the ICW, USA at Great Bridge. Note the Captain in the cockpit, flat out and asleep!!
