We have crashed. That is, in the sense we have gotten our fill of sailing for the year. This is the last day on the BVI's, and tomorrow we motor on into the charter marina in the wee-hours.
We rode out a pretty blustery storm last night. The boat was "swinging, swaying .. dancing to the beat". But the morning was calm as could be. We didn't rush anything since we were back on the side of Tortola where we needed to be in order to make a short dash the next morning. There were some good winds for the day, but nothing like yesterday, so we casually ventured out around 10:30am. We decided to circumnavigate Coopers, Salt and the Peter Islands before landing at Benares Bay on Norman Island. Here we are back at Norman from the start of our trip.
Nothing eventual today, we had some initial fast times, but it all settled to lower winds when we coasted into the bay.
But now, the cleaning, packing and tidying so we can be well suited to catch our ferry at 11am. The winds have really subsided now, so there's no chance of a cool night. Oh, Air Conditioning, how I miss thee. But we shall meet again.
We did well on provisioning. We just ran out of rum and beer, and we feasted on Macaroni and Cheese. It was planned out just right. I'm afraid though, that we may be denied boarding a flight we may have reached toxic levels of dirtiness on our clothes. The first plan of business when we get home is to put everything into the wash on "Sanitize". Then run it again.
Foreshadowing such an issue, we did pack away going-home clothes so that we can change into them at the hotel in St. Johns. Tomorrow! It's a shave and a shower! The haircut will have to wait until Boise Mtn Time.
