dingy getting hoisted,kayak lifted,hatches to be battened

just a second to go before Internet connection cut.We have been anchored one night,our usual length of stay .At Anegada, a flat island ,reef surrounded of the British Virgins.We enjoyed a beautiful sail here from Virgin Gorda where we frolicked in the baths,the name for a group of pretty, smooth, rounded limestone rocks that are huge all sitting like Earth Art on the beach.That was my favorite swim.Fun and a little scary too.I ached for a camera to capture the flow of the surf through the shape shifted rocks,challenging the Canadian shield Georgian Bay rocks to a beauty contest
The engine is starting.We're about to roll on to Jost Van Dyke to a bay with a bar called "One Love" . Ted is here! ,our first guest aboard,so great to have him here, so easy -going,fun spirited..he's actually is doing dishes as I cram to do the remiss writing wee bit before we set the sails.
We love the BVIs,trade winds good for sailing,plentiful bays for anchor.We took a sojourn to St Martin for about4 nights,enjoyed a dinner out,stores duty free, a rocking Pentecostal church with David,Jay and I,must tell you more about that!We met up with our grand friends aboard Asteroid at Anse Marsel on the French side on the north shore and sailed around back to the south Dutch town of Philipsberg with them.We had dinner on Asteroid,always a very fun delectable amusing and warm time
We left Jay to do his desired walk- about,big nap sac with tent et al, until we meet him at Nanny Cay Wednesday .There, we will welcome Philippa aboard for Christmas. Our plan is to sail down to Bequia,stopping where whim or weather has us.I'd love to see Martha who lives in Dominica .We are setting up for Grama Sue and Grampa Joe to meet us there on Dec28
Very much looking forward to our year long date with Melanie,Tom and Rose,Rose who's birthday is September 25th ,just like Grama Sues,
