Back to the BVI's - April 13

Yes, It's time to start working our way back into the Bvi's for our haul out on the 23rd. After checking in at Sopers we headed to Cooper island to check out the snorkelling. Great place to dive and snorkel , so it will definitely be on our list for next year.

On to North Sound to start the nasty close up chores and get tucked in out of the hight winds that are coming. Anchored off Prickly Pear as usual and the high winds arrived as predicted. Our anchor is awesome and holds us tight, but we put  the tracker on our chart plotter as we skated back and forth doing 1 kt while on anchor in every direction imaginable.

Next day we moved over to Robin Cove on the opposite side of the Sound to our own private cove and beach where we held tight into the winds and got a great nights sleep.

The calm returned and the sails came down and the close up chores began.

Mike and Betts arrived to share our space and close up their boat as well.   Then at dinner aboard Ocean Wings on Fri evening Mike got a scare in the form of an alarm on his pacemaker. Doctor says come home right away.  Oh No, Not again!
