EVEN NOW; WITH A THOUSAND LITTLE VOYAGES UNDER MY BELT.
I STILL FEEL A MEMORIAL CHILL ON CASTING OFF.

Rick's sister Sandra came aboard March 13th and stayed until the 19th. This girl is the snorkeling queen. She snorkeled morning, noon and well into the sunset. We visited Brewers Bay, Guana Island/Monkey Point (great snorkeling), Marina Cay on the East end of the island (also good snorkeling), Norman Island (great snorkeling in the caves), The Indians (lots of colorful fish & steep walls), Yost Van Dyke for our favorite lunch spot for Chicken Roti's at Ali Baba's, St. John's and St. Thomas. Lots of fun, painkillers (rum drinks), snorkeling and swimming.

Unfortunately we had some rain while San was here. This blast lasted about 15 minutes then it was back into the water for more snorkeling.


Yost Van Dyke lies to the north of Tortola and has a population of approximately 200 people and was named after a Dutch Pirate. Great Harbour has a worldwide reputation for having great beach parties. Home of the famous Foxy's Beach Bar/Restaurant and our favorite roti place - Ali Baba's.



Ali Baba's waterfront restaurant/bar.



The famous Foxy's beach bar/restaurant "where friends are met & memories made". They have a fabulous bar-b-que on Friday and Saturdays.


When we were here about 10 years ago, Foxy's was relatively small and bras and underwear where hanging from the ceiling. They have expanded and now just about anything can be tacked to the ceiling if you can find a spot.



Last year when we were at Yost Van Dyke there were over 50 boats in the harbour. Sometimes things get a little too close.

OOPS! Somebody is dragging.


Rick & Sandra taking a break from snorkeling (but not for long).


We saw this cute little submarine when entering the Marina in St. Thomas.
