Cow Wreck Bay and Lobster Dinner At Reef Hotel

After resting on the mooring ball for the remainder of the morning, the girls ate a quick lunch aboard and headed into shore. We boarded a truck and headed over to Cow Wreck Bay for a few hours of snorkeling and relaxation. Cow Wreck Bay is truly one of the most beautiful beaches on earth. The girls left Cow Wreck Bay to head back over to the Anegada Reef Hotel to learn how the cooks harvest, prepare, and cook Caribbean Rock Lobster. As the girls prepared for dinner, an evening squall blew over the island and left behind a beautiful double rainbow. Words can't describe and photos don't do justice the beauty of the day we just experienced.

Night Navigation Sail to Anegada, All boats safely at Mooring in the Anegada Mooring Field

The girls set out from North Sound, Virgin Gorda bound for Anegada long before sunrise this morning. The girls strapped in to their harnesses and clipped into the boats jack lines to put their previous night's navigation work to the test. They used the lighted aids to navigation to maneuver their 50 foot sailboats out of the mooring field through the Bitter End Channel. They regulated their boat speed and timed their turn precisely to line the boats up with the channel out of North Sound, careful to avoid Colquhoun Reef. They raised sails as they entered the Necker Island Passage bound for Anegada with a beautiful Caribbean Sunrise backlighting the sky. After several hours and 5 navigation legs the girls safely picked up mooring balls in the Anegada mooring field and are taking some time for some much needed rest.
