Wednesday February 10, 2016

Laurie & Deb invited us on an Island Tour, we met on the dock at 11:30AM.  Laurie, who grew up on this beautiful island is the ideal guide.  Everywhere he took us he was greeted with handshakes, fist bumps, and hugs.  We were in good hands.

Savannah Bay





Garvey's Sunshine Shack




We went to many beaches, beach bars, and resorts.  This could be a place for me to fulfil another chapter in life.  Although the whole island is beautiful the winner of the day was a bar owned by his friend Banxs.  Banxs was proud to also show us the villa he designed and has almost completed.  WOW!

Bankie Banxs is a renowned island guitarist.  To describe him in a word I would have to say “cool”

After a few more tour highlights Laurie and Deb dropped us off at the same dock we started this magical tour.

One of the last stops on our tour was a visit to the Viceroy Resort.  It was super luxury.  Everyt angle was symmetrical.  Amazing views.  Perhaps I can work here?

When we got back on the boat around 6:30PM  Scott and Renee had the boat prepped for our overnight sail to Virgin Gorda.  Plans are set to leave at midnight and arrive around 11:00AM. Being on schedule for the first 3-hour watch, I retreated to my cabin, watched a movie and and set my alarm for 11:30PM
