- British Virgin Islands One of the advantages of sailing on a small ship is that we get to visit places far too snug for the giant liners carrying thousands of passengers. However, so Posted by Hawkson in Blissful Adventures | Mar 20, 2023
- Beautiful BVI We were now headed back towards the Eastern Caribbean, and the next place we'd be stopping was the British Virgin Islands - the eastern half of the Virgin Islands archipelago. [center][img=https://photos.t Posted by kmmk17 in World Travels | Feb 13, 2022
- Our Omega Event for SailingHere we sit in Soper’s Hole for another night. Carol has decided that she wants ice cream for dessert, and it is on hand at the Harbour Market. She also claims that I am tired, a way of saying that Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 22, 2021
- Soper's Hole[center][/center] I seem to be having a bad run on photography. Lots of shutter clicks, not much I want to put out there. Sunset from Cooper Island, such as it Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 21, 2021
- Cooper Island[center][/center] I took a lot of pictures today; few turned out to be worth the effort. That was a lot like today on the boat, a lot of energy expended, but mu Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 20, 2021
- Cane Garden Bay[center][/center] The wind direction here has been very constant: E, ESE or SE. When moored the boat's bow will ride into the wind meaning that the stern is f Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 19, 2021
- Peter Island via Gorda SoundCarol struggled yesterday on Anegada, mostly the heat, she is a Nordic Princess after all, but the heat also seemed to tire her. Anyway, I thought that an easy day was in order. My intent was to sail from Anegada Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 18, 2021
- AnegadaGetting to Anegada [center][/center]We were underway early this morning, as is our wont. By 0730 we had cleared Great Harbor and we in our usual mainsa Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 16, 2021

- Trip Interlude, part 2Honestly, I am too tired to make this stuff up. Having agreed with the base manager that the Niou Dem II was not a serviceable vessel, we headed back to Roadtown to get a different boat. Simple enough. But I Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 13, 2021
- Trip InterludeOne of the nice things about being on a charter vessel, versus your own vessel, is that there is no maintenance to be done. Owners have, or should have, intimate knowledge about their boats. Any day that is a layover Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 12, 2021
- Virgin Gorda, Gorda Sound[float=left][/float]An addition to the previous entry. We saw this boulder on the path leading to the beach at the Baths. In a Rorschach test I think that most people would see a skull; at least Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 11, 2021
- Virgin Gorda, Spanish Town[float=left][/float]The evening before we left, I took the dinghy out for a bit of a ride. I had tested it before we got underway and it started OK, but I wanted to gi Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 10, 2021
- Norman Island, continuedCarol was tired and asked that we lay over for a day at Norman Island, so we did. There is nothing compelling about this location. However, the mooring balls are secure, the Verizon cell coverage seems to be intermittent but Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 8, 2021
- Norman Island[center][/center]Here we sit, in the Bight, at Norman Island, on a mooring ball, this to our port side. So, how did the first day go? In a pass/fail system we pa Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 7, 2021
- Preflight, continuedNot too good, but not as bad as it could have been. Several stitches in her lip, near the scar she got teaching at Brunswick High while breaking up a fight between two girls, one of whom hit her in Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 7, 2021
- Preflight[center][/center]It seemed appropriate to use a sunset as marking the end of the dreaded quarantine period. It is good to have put that behind us. Lambert Bay ne Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 5, 2021
- Quarantine [center][/center] Step 1 was preparation to travel. As I said in a previous entry: intensely un-fun. Step 2 was actually traveling. This entailed the usual indi Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | May 3, 2021
- What a Long, Strange Trip It's BeenMany times, over these boating years, I have opined that when men plan, gods laugh. Putting the nouns plan and boat in the same paragraph, let alone the same sentence, is inherently oxymoronic. I know this to the core of Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | Apr 29, 2021
- Our Alpha Event for SailingSetting aside the metaphysics of Deities, everything has a beginning, an “Alpha Event”. Astrophysicists tell us that the very universe in which Carol and I sail was the result of a BIG BANG, although it’s hard to hear a noise Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | Apr 29, 2021
- The End of the Charter - A Life Changing ExperienceWednesday 3 December 1997 We were up early (0630), got dressed and had fruit and bread/toast for breakfast. Gwen and I took SHOUT (the dinghy) and got a mooring to dive the Rhone. She wanted to get there early before Posted by greatgrandmaR in 1997 In the Virgin Islands on a CSY | Sep 18, 2020
