Picture of the Day - No Complaints, but....

It's certainly not looking like this today!

The trades are still roaring here.  We've had four plus days of winds in the 20+ knot range and lots of squalls with winds up to 37 knots.  

With two guests onboard, hot humid conditions outside and hatches closed to block the rain,  things get a bit crowded and stuffy below...

So, being outside in the rain, or even in the water swimming, is often the best plan.

RYC's Torben and Judy are here as well and we've enjoyed seeing a bunch of them.  Deb and Judy are busy doing Pilattes(spelling?) ashore every morning, and Torben and I are having fun comparing our onboard repair accomplishments!!  What a life!

The Trades are Blowing Hard!!

Our forecast has winds in excess of 20 knots here in the BVI for the next four days.  That's just one of the reasons why it looks like we will sit tight here in Virgin Gorda for at least that long.

• Our friends Kevin and Meg (from Newport, RI) show up today after multiple flights, three ferry rides, and a taxi trip!

• Torben Bentsen's Birthday Party is on the 13th here at Saba Rock.

• And most importantly, our new dinghy arrives on the 13th.

Under Sail from St. Kitts to Nevis

We are anchored (moored actually) off the beach at Nevis.  The Four Seasons Resort is a short walk up the beach, and was the location of Commerce One's last Sales Club in 2002.  The wheels had started to fall off the bus at that point and I think we all knew it.
