Anegada Sunsets are the Best

Everyone was looking forward to sunset, so we had a painkiller and waited with cameras in hand. After sunset, we had an excellent dinner at the Anegada Reef Hotel.

Off to Loblolly Bay

We couldn't go back to the boat without a cocktail at the Big Bamboo at Loblolly Bay. We had rented a truck, so off we went. There was a decent crowd, and the painkillers went down easily.

Cow Wreck Beach Time!

When we left the Anagada Beach Club, the executive decision was made to hit Cow Wreck Beach next. It wasn't a tough decision...  When we got there, the place was packed with kite surfers. A few cocktails and some conch fritters later, some of the crowd thinned out so it was a little more enjoyable.

New Place - Anegada Beach Club

We decided to check out a new place, the Anegada Beach Club. It has a beautiful bar area. Yes, that was the part of the resort that we went to first.....   Nobody was there - we had the place to ourselves, so we had a rum punch. The beach was a decent walk from the bar area, but it was beautiful. No oceanview rooms, and the walk to the beach will hurt this place, considering they are charging $275/night.

Presenting Sir Richard Branson

Richard Branson owns two resorts here in the BVI (Necker and Mosquito Islands), so we have heard stories from people who have run into him. We hadn't been on Anegada for two minutes and ran into him. Craig is a big fan of his, so he asked to have a picture taken.

Mondays Are Better in the BVI

We got up early Monday morning to get on the dock at Leverick Bay to get the water tanks filled. Mission accomplished by 8:30 AM, and we were off to Anegada. Ken estimated the waves were 8' to 9'. I think the technical sailing term for them is "big ole snotty waves."  Link to a video HERE

Super Bowl Sunday

We sailed about half way from Soper's Hole to Leverick Bay, and then motored the rest of the way since we were running behind. There were plenty of mooring balls available at Leverick Bay, which surprised us since they were having a Super Bowl party. After a few cold adult beverages and a little swimming, we headed to Jumbies for dinner and the game.

 

Sunday Sailing

Sunday started out with a visit by one of the Voyage Yachts repairmen. The outboard on the dinghy was running very poorly, and Ken also discovered that one of the water tanks was leaking. Not a great start to the day, but it was nothing that a few cold beers and some sunshine didn't take care of.....

One Love with Rueben

What a great afternoon at White Bay. We had a "fix it yourself" rum drink at Gertrudes, and highly recommend the place as you walk from Soggy Dollar to One Love. Speaking of One Love....the man himself, Reuben Chinnery was playing when we got there. He hasn't been there the last couple of trips, so it was a treat to see him. Here is a link to a video that we took.
