Time for the next anchorage

When you see the restaurant staff setting up all the beach umbrellas and chairs you know two things are true.

Snorkle vs Dive

In all of our time on Rhapsody so far we have not been diving, only snorkeling for a variety of reasons, cost, visitors,  learning the boat. On this trip we made the switch and became divers again. There is quite a difference between the two with advantages and disadvantages to both.

Belongers

In the BVI they classify people as "belongers" and " non-belongers". We fall into the category of " non-belongers" which means that we can only stay in the BVI for 30 days without further action on our part. We hit the 30 day mark a few days ago. Our choices at that point

Island Girl

Under a breeze filled sea grape tree
An island girl strolled languidly
Down the path to the turquoise sea
Her movements tranquil, fluid, free.

Anegada in pictures and words

      Anegada is sometimes referred to as "the drowned island " with a high point of 28 feet. It is surrounded by reefs which makes it dangerous to get to yet because of this it is less touristy.

There are long stretches of beaches that have no buildings.  As you walk down the empty beach

Anegada, Anchoring 102

Anegada has been on our list of places to go, because it is there, and because we can. Anegada is the northernmost island of the BVI. Elevation 23 feet.

One town (the settlement), and lots of beaches. Long flat white beaches to walk on.

Anchoring 101

There is so much to learn about anchoring. You don't just dump the anchor over the side a run away. We have read books, taken seminars at boat shows, watched other boaters (both for the how to and the how not to) and learned by experience. The latest lessons we had were at Long Bay on the tip of Virgin Gorda. (Mom, if you click on the words in blue it will take you to a map or more information. Love you) A beautiful  little bay lined with coral reefs.
