The girls dropped moorings at Anegada after breakfast and are downwind sailing to Soper's Hole. Soper's Hole is on the main Island of Tortola and is a very protected. It was used by Blackbeard the pirate as safe harbor for many years. Once there we plan to provision the yachts and check on the latest a forecast for Tropical Depression Bertha. In the meantime we are getting as much sailing in as we can before the rain sets in. As you can see from the photos below, it is still beautiful today! We are expecting some heavy winds and rain from the outer bands as the storm passes to our south. We will ride out the weather in the safe harbor of Soper's Hole, just like our fellow North Carolinian Blackbeard the pirate did over 200 years ago. We will take advantage of the rain by teaching some advanced navigation and going over US Sailing exams and reviewing any deficiencies.
