Sail II BVI Program Safely Moored in Sopers Hole to Ride Out Bertha

After a beautiful day of sailing our boats made it into Soper's Hole in time to reprovision for the remainder of the trip and prepare the boats for Tropical Depression Bertha. The girls are tying secondary mooring lines, lashing down sails, and buttoning down hatches to ride out the coming wind and rain. Fresh provisions and good company will help the girls pass the time as the storm passes far to our south overnight. Once the storm clears tomorrow and conditions subside we plan to be right back on the water on schedule and sailing.
