Pay Station


Friend from Denmark swam to Mooring Pay station.
Paying for a mooring in USVI is on honor system. Fill out an envelope and put it in a box on this floating raft. The black boat was built and sailed from Denmark to these islands. The USVI were once owned by the Dutch. They wanted to see what they gave up.

Hikes and Dinghy Trips

Dinghy trip around the island of Virgin Gorda to Oil Nut Bay. We did some navigating around Eustacia Reef and found a beautiful sandy beach.

Someone tied an inviting swing to this Mangrove tree.

Waiting For A Part


The Petrals fly overhead as the wind builds from the East.

We are at this small marina on the island of Tortolla in the British Virgin Islands.

A part has been ordered for our tranmission. Before we set sail again the repair must be made.
