| It took us 8 days to sail from Florida to St. Thomas, USVI |
 |
 |
| After 3 days exploring St. Thomas, we sailed over to St.
James Island and anchored at Christmas Cove |
 |
 |
| At anchor, we usually play a game of backgammon or cribbage. |
 |
 |
| In the British Virgin Islands, we spent several days with
our friends Frank and Patti in their beautiful home on Tortola. |
 |
 |
| The views are incredible from the multiple decks on their 3
story home. |
 |
 |
| |
 |
 |
| We had lots of fun with all their pets. |
 |
  |
| Frank and Patti spent a couple of days with us on Aquila. |
 |
 |
| We were planning to dive at Tobago, but the ocean conditions
made it too dangerous that day. |
 |
 |
| Peter Island was calm and peaceful.
We saw this barracuda several times, including while we were
snorkeling! |
 |
 |
| Each morning this man repeatedly cast his net, until he
filled his bucket with the little herrings, anchovies or sardines
(whatever they are). |
 |
 |
| We named our new dinghy Eagle Scout (Aquila is the
constellation of the eagle).
We hiked through the overgrowth to an abandoned house on Peter Island. |
 |
 |
| Of course, there was plenty of drinking and eating ... |
 |
 |
| ... and partying!
Here we are at the Full Moon Party at Bomba Shack. It was a wild
place with panties hanging from the ceiling.
We met up with another couple on a Hylas 49 with a similar cruise plan! |
