Sail BVI Girls Arrive at Trellis

After beating upwind from Sandy Spit the girls stopped off at Guana Island for a snorkel. After snorkeling at Monkey Point the made their way to Trellis Bay. We picked up moorings close to the airport dock and caught the ferry over to Marina Cay for celebratory milkshakes. After returning they began cleaning and packing for their early morning departure. We will dinghy the girls to docks around 5am and they should be in the air by 7am, bound for the states.

Sail BVI Girls Depart Little Harbour, bound for Sandy Spit, Guana Island, and Trellis Bay

The girls made breakast on docks in Little Harbour. After breakfast they cast off lines and pulled up the anchor and headed out of Little Harbour. We headed around the corner of Jost Van Dyke and anchored at Sandy Spit. The girls swam to shore and walked around this small island that was made famous by Dell Computer's factory backgrounds and a visa commercial that the girls were all too young to have seen. After leaving Sandy Spit the girls tacked up wind to Guana Island for a snorkel before striking sails, and heading through the Camino Cut to Trellis Bay.

After breakfast and a quick rest, the girls swam into shore to enjoy White Bay.  Around 11am we weighed anchor and headed to great harbor where the girls explored and went to Foxy's. Around 2:30 they left Great Harbour for Little Harbour. At Little Harbour the girls Med-Moored (Mediterranean Mooring) to Sydney's House of Peace and Love for the evening.
