Put Brenda, Sami and Huston in a taxi to the airport, it's 6 AM!

Settled up the bill at Crown Bay Marina, tossed the lines before the wind got crazy - weather report - Frickin Awesome, except the wind and seas are against me for the first hour!

Motor sailed up to Francis Bay- grab a ball - Ahhhh - lunch and and finished a book - snorkeled in the bay - NCIS won't play on my laptop - UGH - so, started The Unit - YEAH - cook up some pork chops - lights out

3-30

Up early, weather sucks, still the same, sun is shining, wind is perfect, seas are mild. Drop the ball and sail to Cane Garden Bay, grab a ball and do some boat cleaning. dinghy to town and grab a couple things - got spotty internet but get some messages out and check email.


CGB starts to get crowded, so I drop the ball and sail out the channel. Doing 7 knots on a 12 knots beam reach, smoking across the water until I reach Sopers Hole, quick tack, furl the genoa, fire the motors through the Great Thatch and Little Thatch. Motors off, genoa out as I sail to St. John, tack, back to Tortola to Frenchman's Cay, tack, to Mennebeck Bay, tack, and I am heading to Road Harbour, but half way their I decide to go to somewhere I haven't been, so, tack again and I am heading to Coral Harbour, St. John. Furl the genoa, drop the main, motors on and head into the harbour. OK, everything that I have read and looking at the charts I think this place should be kewl, right - NOT! Rust buckets everywhere and not even a dinghy dock, REVERSE!

So, I motor the short distance to Norman Island and back to The Bight, grab a ball and take a nice snorkel along the shore. A quick shower and then to Pirates for a great dinner of BBQ Ribs - Life is good!
