Saturday, May 6th, 2017 The most depressing day of the week – departure day.  Marcus and I had done most of our packing the night before, so this morning we were able to enjoy what little time we had left on the boat.  We were able to check on our first boat (Turquoise Dreams) and … More I don’t want to say good bye…

Friday, May 5th, 2017 For some crazy, insane reason, Marcus and I were up at 5am!  It had to have been our subconscious telling us to get up and enjoy our last full day of this incredible trip.  Luckily, Capt Rich wasn’t too far behind us, as the plan was to leave behind The Bight … More Our last day?!? Already?!?!

Thursday, May 4th, 2017 Early risers once again.  We headed out of Great Harbor and over to Soper’s Hole for one last opportunity for souvenir buying.  It was sad to think we were at the point of having use the word “last” for anything!  We enjoyed breakfast at Soper’s Hole, before being taken by Dinghy … More To Jump – or Not to Jump

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2017 Up just after the sun – coffee, sunscreen, a good book and the sun deck – today’s first stop was Sandy Cay.  We quickly motored over and tied off to a mooring ball just in time for breakfast.  Today, Dom treated us to our usual spread, plus some scrambled eggs and … More Sandy Cay, White Bay & Great Harbor

Tuesday, May 2nd We were up early at 6:10 when the engines fired up. As had become our morning ritual, I grabbed my latest book and headed up to the top deck to enjoy the trip to our morning destination. This morning, we motored and sailed to “The Dogs.” The Dog Islands is a small … More Diamond Reef, Myetts & Dice!

Monday, May 1 We slept great Sunday night!  Our new boat (whose name I think was explorer, but I’m not 100% sure) had A/C, and since we slept docked at the marina we had a/c all night, and without generator power – it was great.  We woke up Monday morning when Capt Rich fired up … More New Boat’s, Sunken Boats & Sunshine!!

Sunday, April 30th Sleep evaded us last night.  In part, due to the rain – in part, due to heat.  Our cabin was small, and we had to climb over one another to get into and out of our bed, but it was surprisingly comfortable.  TD does not have AC, our only option for cooling … More Dinghy’s…D’oh…Disaster!

Saturday, April 29th When we told friends and family we were going to be living on a boat with 6-8 strangers, sleeping below deck, sailing, etc. – they laughed.  Primarily because I (Olivia) am claustrophobic, experience motion sickness (I have to take Dramamine before I get to an amusement park) and I am a complete, … More Tortola & Tradewinds…Here we come!!

Wednesday, April 26 – Friday, April 28, 2017 Wednesday:  We had to return our rental car by 2pm.  We assumed we would stay around the resort in the morning, hanging out at the pool – returning our car and spending some time in Charlotte Amalie for an early dinner.  When it was time, we headed … More Resort Gravity Takes Over

Tuesday, April 25, 2017 We slept in!!  Weather forecast for today didn’t look promising – it was the second day of the week that we were facing a potential wash out, with hour by hour forecasts calling for 70%+ rain fall in the morning and the afternoon.  We decided that we were going to pack … More Bright Ideas & Lessons Learned
