We had an easy sail from Virgin Gorda yesterday, reaching most of the way and making good speed (about 7 knots) with winds around 8 to 11 knots. As usual, when the (minor) rain squall hit us, Hope managed to find something to do down below, leaving Howard to have another rinse off at the helm, saving precious water from the tanks. We left at sunrise (~6:30) and anchored off Christiansted around 2:15pm, not bad for a 53 mile trip!

 

Below are a few pics from this morning’s sunrise and our road trip around the north shore, through the tropical moist forest towards Fredericksted where we liked the VI Supreme Court building…imageimageimage
