Roger's parents (Gene and Sharon) and our nephew Sean arrived June 17th, just in time for Malia's birthday. We set sail the next day for a whirlwind trip of the British Virgin Islands.

We checked in at Sopers Hole in Tortola and then sailed to Jost Van Dyke. We checked out a couple of beaches, did some snorkeling and had dinner at a place called Foxy's Taboo. The next day unfortunately was a complete wash out - 100% rain and stormy so we didn't move an where. Dad ate one snack after another, including two types of cookies, nachos etc and then passed out after his sugar high, in the forward cabin. Mom did some day sleeping also but propped a book up in front of her and claimed she was "reading".

On the 19th we sailed back to Tortola - first to Brewer's Bay and then on to Trellis Bay for the night. Friday was the highlight - we sailed to Norman Island to anchor in The Bight. From there we checked out the Indians, which are basically just rocks but they stick out of the ocean to create a beautiful formation.

We also snorkeled the Caves, which is where treasure was buried in 1750 and discovered about 100 years later. There is a good story about how the treasure came to be buried there - it was stolen by 2 American brothers...if you're curious just google Norman Island treasure. The last day of our visit we sailed back to St. Thomas for the Colvins and Sean to catch their plane.
