Sandy Cay - Sopers Hole - Norman Island

This morning pulled off docks at Sydney's House of Peace and Love and left Little Harbour on Jost Van Dyke bound for Sandy Cay. We anchored on the downwind side of the island and swam in for a short walk around the island.

After pulling up anchor at Sandy Cay we enjoyed a downwind sail to the home of Blackbeard the Pirate, Sopers Hole. We picked up mooring balls headed to shore to explore. We stocked up provisioning at Sopers Hole and did a little shopping in East End before heading back out.

We sailed the boats side by side from Sopers Hole on our way to snorkel the Indians and the Caves at Norman Island.

We anchored off Norman Island (the inspiration for the book Treasure Island) for the evening. Tomorrow morning we are bound for Roadtown, the capital city of the British Virgin Islands
