We sailed to the "Baths" today. We had the entire place to ourselves-a real treat! The place is usually very crowded with tons of cruise ship folks. The baths are stunning! We spent the day roaming through beautiful caves and swimming in their cool waters. Sailed to Cooper Island in the afternoon.

Herb and Pat invited us over to Mooney Bay for lunch today. They treated us to freshly caught Kingfish with a wonderful salad. Mooney Bay is lovely, nestled in among the mountains with killer views and nice winds. We spent most of the afternoon enjoying their hospitality:)

Woke up early this morning to a very turbulent vessel! We are heading over to check out the hiking trail on the island. It should lead us over to honeymoon beach. Richard Branson owns the island and the local rumor is that he will be putting in an eco-resort.
The only trail that we could find today is a small road that leads over to the same beach we were at yesterday. A lovely walk, frangi-pangi everywhere. We did dingy back over to the beach to try to snorkel again. There were jelly fish everywhere, so we decided to call our dive short. We did meet a lovely couple on their honeymoon, Ryan and Breanna. They were pretty disappointed that everything is closed this time of year.
We relocated the Moerae back over to Leverick Bay today. We picked up a mooring since it includes 200 gallons of water! A great deal for the area!
Met Herb and Pat at the pub, they are the managers of Mooney Bay. She's from Arkansas, so we had lots to talk about!

We relocated the boat to Mosquito Island today. It is owned by Richard Branson. We hung out on one of the most fabulous beaches we've seen so far and took some photos of my belly:) We were planning on going diving today, but just too many jelly fishes around.

Woke up early this morning and went on a really nice snork. Saw some brilliant reef squid in a pod of around six. They were flashing warning patterns at us and to each other-a wonderful display! We were followed around by a massive barricuda for most of the snork. Very curious fish, with very large teeth. It's a bit unsettling swimming around them with a big shiny camera. Walked Bailey ashore before heading over to Little Dix Bay, where Alf's grandparents spent there 50th wedding anniversary. So Alf was here 22 years ago! Funny, how things come full circle. We had a few drinks on their lovely deck, virgin strawberry daq for me:( Beautiful sunset tonight. Sole fillet wrapped in red peppers wth asparagus and wild rice for dins. Yum!

Cleared into BVI today. No problems with Bailey so far...Spent most of the day at Shallow Bay, around the corner from Spanish Town.
