Reef Hotel for Lobster Dinner, Girls help clean the Lobster

The girls headed to shore at the Anegada Reef Hotel as the sun was setting behind them. We relaxed on the beach and enjoyed a lobster dinner cooked over driftwood on the beach in old oil drums. The girls helped the Reef Hotel Pull lobsters for Dinner. It literally doesn't get any fresher....

Snorkeling Cow Wreck Bay, Exploring Anegada

Once we picked up mooring balls at Anegada, we went by the church to arrange the morning service project, saw the endangered Anegada Rock Iguana, and snorkeled at Cow Wreck Bay. Tonight we are heading into the Anegada Reef Hotel for a Lobster Dinner.

Sail from North Sound to Anegada


After closely monitoring the weather breakup through the night the girls set out from North Sound, Virgin Gorda bound for Anegada. The girls setup jack lines and donned harnesses and PFDs in the early hours of the morning and motored out of North Sound. They raised sails as they entered the Necker Island Passage bound for Anegada. The girls watched the squalls blow through the passage and   the southern Anegada Reef as we approached the anchorage at the north end of the island. The girls navigated the challenging approach with ease and were settled in at Anegada before lunch. After a quick rest, the girls headed to shore to explore the island.
