Friday, April 4.
Sunrise view from the v-berth hatch:
The winds have turned nasty, 25-28 knots out of the east. Here in Lameshur Bay, we are very protected, so you’d hardly notice. We’re staying another night. Tan-a-na is going to make a run for Road Town on Tortola to check back into the BVI, as they discovered an error with their visas – they expire today, instead of the day they leave. The guys are heading back to Jost, I think, for the night.
So we look forward to a very relaxing day and night here. We made the right decision, as Tan-a-na told us that they had a terrible passage to Road Town. 6 foot waves, 28 knot winds, rain. Once in Road Town, the winds were so strong, they couldn’t get an anchor set, so they made a run to Norman for the night.
Nestled into Great Lameshur, we went for a long snorkel this morning.




In the afternoon Susanne, Laura and I headed ashore to hike the Lameshur Trail. We got lucky and missed the rain completely. We had gorgeous views from the hills along the trail.




Another dinner aboard tonight and then we will head back to the BVI in the morning.
Stunning pics!! I can’t wait to hear what happened with the passports!!
We made it through ok, just had to:
1) check out of BVI (one trip ashore)
2) checkin and out of USVI (one trip ashore)
3) check back into the BVI (one trip ashore)
Since locations of Customs & Immigration on BVI and USVI are limited, it usually means an out of the way stop. We did 1) above in Great Harbour on Yost, 2) in Cruz Bay, and 3) in Soper’s Hole. If we knew better, we could have done 3) at spanish town on Virgin Gorda on our trip to the Baths….
