Highlights from our first day out in the boat!!

This morning, we finished yo some last-minute chores at the marina before heading out. Ann and I went to the grocery store to stock up on the rest of the provisions that weren't delivered yesterday afternoon.

Tom, Ben and Dick got final instructions on the boat. We had an instructor from the club that Tom chartered the boat from for the first couple of hours to make sure that our crew was capable and comfortable.

We went from Tortola to Peter Island, then to Norman Island where we anchored at The Bight.

It was a beautiful day (if not a bit hot and humid). We sailed for about four hours today.

Tom is a terrific Skipper, with Ben and Dick as crew. Dick leaned a new technique today called "Flamboyant Cowboy".

Dick and Tom cooled off by taking Caribbean Showers. Ben and Megan made a delicious ground pork and chorizo taco dinner for the eight of us.
