Seafarer Sail BVI Trip Snorkels the Dogs, Then Sails to Cooper Island

The group woke up on the moorings in Trellis Bay, just east of Bellamy Cay. After a quick breakfast aboard they dropped the mooring ball and headed into the Sir Francis Drake Channel. The day began with an upwind leg to the Dogs. We practiced tacking upwind and snorkeled the Chimney on the west end of Great Dog. After eating lunch on the mooring we sailed down wind to Cooper Island and practiced jibing. Once arriving at Cooper Island we headed over to Cistern Rock for another snorkel trip. The group cooked a progressive dinner: Isabella made Bruschetta, Best Times made Caribbean Rice and Beans, Sequoia made Brownies for dessert.
