Our last day in the BVI






After Virgin Gorda, we sailed to The Indian's to snorkle. That was my favorite spot to snorkle. It had the largest coral reef, like the kind you would see on the Discovery channel. There were fish everywhere. I saw sea urchin just inches away. We stayed there about 2 hours, then we sailed to Norman Island where we stayed the night. The way you stay the night is, if you are lucky, there is a spot availiable to anchor to. We had one of the best spots. We snorkled more there, then took the dingy to the only restaraunt on the island. Only 2 people live there. Hundreds of years ago, Spanish sailors hid their loot on that island. Many locals have found the loot, but historians claim there is still more to be found. We only had our flip flops, and no shovels, so we didn't attempt it. Maybe next time.
The next day we sailed into Tortola to stay in our AC hotel rooms. That was amazing. AC. ahhhhh......The first night, we rested up. We have been going non-stop. We did order some carribean pizza and hot wings. The next day we took a speed catamaran to the island Anegada. It has 200 people living there. People just leave their cars on the side of the road, no worries. That is the life out here. No worries, no rush, your on island time. If you have to wait 15 minutes for your beer, you just wait. So, on Anegada, we went snorkeling again. I found a sand dollar and a beautiful large Conch shell. Then for lunch, we ate the biggest lobster I had ever seen. It measured from my fingertips to my bicep. It was tasty. All in all, it was an amazing trip. I'm glad we came before we became parents. Thank you Jackie and Jim for letting us come with you guys.
