Arrival Spanish Virgins

06 May 2010 | Culebra

At last we have arrived in Spanish Virgins which Vossie has been talking about forever. Entrance to Ensenada Honda bay was a little hairy to say the least, much dodging of shallows but it was well marked and we made it safely to anchor. Absolutely calm in the bay and have woken to brilliant sunshine and perfect weather.
We checked in yesterday pm, got a cruising permit and then did a few beer hops. Today we will do a little exploring on the dinghy. Then move the boat out of the bay and start visiting the various anchorages and then onto Puerto Rico.
We had a good sail from St Thomas and Talacam sailed well. Although we are a litttle nervous of big winds ,she on the other hand loves it. We are getting at this as Vossie tries out various sail settings.
As we explore more I will add to this blog with photos.
So breakfast is now in order and then take the dingy down off the deck and on to explore.
