Dick's BVI Celebrity Sighting

Dick has a favorite Vlog (video blog) that he's been watching for several months called "Sailing Uma". It follows a couple from the US who have refit a boat and are sailing around the world.

Their motto is "Don't Buy a Couch", meaning, don't put down too many roots, do you can pick up and leave easily.

After we tied to our mooring ball at Cane Garden Bay this afternoon, Dick was looking at the list of available WiFi networks. Imagine his surprise when one of the options listed was "dontbuyacouch". He did a little research on where the "Sailing Uma" couple were and realized that it was probably them. Then he looked out at the boats near us and actual spotted the Uma (their boat)!

Dick has never been one to get star struck by any kind of celebrity, so it amused me that he was SO excited to see the Uma and the couple from the show on their boat.

Eventually, they climbed into their row boat and towed near us. Ben, one of our friends on our boat yelled out to them that one of our boat's occupants was a big fan of their videos. We got a wave from them, and a fun sailing story for Dick. :)
