Trip Report - 6/11-6/26 2016

Post by RickG »

Its September and its quiet. We head back to the islands in October and will see a lot of forumites around Halloween. In the mean-time, here is a trip report on our St. Thomas, St. Martin, Anguilla, Virgin Gorda and St. John sailing trip. Not so much St. John related, but we did spend a night at Salt Pond Bay and forumites augie (Steve) and eagleralover (Leslie) came out to play with us. Here you go.

Thank you Rick for the sailing report. Each year for the past 5 years we've sailed out of Tortola in the BVI for 3-4 nights (then head back to St John). We've never even done the trip to Anegada!

Some of your videos - I almost need Bonine to watch. I don't know what it's like to own a boat and sail for weeks (it might not be for a wimp like me). It's refreshing to see the sea and the islands from the boat and from your perspective. Thank you!

I eat Bonine before a passage. Just the threat of seasickness is enough to make a me a bit green. Pro tip - don't sail with a hangover. Sweet Christine has an iron stomach.
