Anegada - Choir Performance

Upon anchoring at Anegada we headed to shore at the Anegada Reef Hotel. Our first destination on Anegada was Cow Wreck Bay on the northeastern part of the island, where we had a great afternoon of snorkeling around the reef and exploring the beach. We visited with Alex, the owner of the restaurant on the beach, and he told us about his family's history on Anegada and played some of his music for us.

The Girls Arriving at Anegada

After a great afternoon on the beach, we headed back to the boats and cooked dinner together. The highlight of the day was an evening concert at Anegada Methodist Church. The children of the church had just finished a five-day music camp, and we got the chance to hear them perform. They danced, sang songs and played steel pans (steel drums), and the atmosphere was incredible! It was very special to see how the people of the church come together to worship - it was lively and a great chance for us all to see how lucky we are. We had a great time singing along with them!

Tomorrow we are planning service projects with the church and with a rescue program that works with the endangered Anegada Iguanas. And we are very excited about a lobster dinner with Sam, the chef at Whistling Pines!
