In the past few weeks we have been traveling around the BVI. We have been to Rhode Town, Cooper Island, Norman Island, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke. They are all gorgeous places and in general have very few people living there. This is a great place to get away from it all as the saying goes. Not much is happening and there is little to do but enjoy the peace, tranquility and beauty of the islands. We have done a lot of snorkeling and hanging out with our new friends. We are traveling with two other boats, Mirliflore and Gypsy. They are boats that, as Fran's mom says, are crazy enough to sail straight from Virginia to the BVI in the Caribbean 1500. It's a pleasure to hang around like minded people! We have had no phone service and could only get Internet access at a bar or a restaurant. We didn't mind being without these services last March in the Bahamas but this time it was difficult that we could not call our family.
The photos here are from Anegada. One is a view of Virgin Gorda from Anegada. We toured Anegada by renting a truck with our friends. There is an Iguana Headstart program there to raise iguanas until they are old enough to release. They are trying to repopulate the island with native iguanas, feral cats are eating the wild baby iguanas. The beaches on the north side of the island were worth the trip. We all enjoyed each beach for several hours, Loblolly Beach and Cow Wreck Beach. It is a paradise there. 
We are now in St Thomas, USVI. Our friends are here, too. We are going to hang out here in civilization for a while. There are some sights to see plus we can get groceries and enjoy being in a city again. This is a big city compared to where we have been for the past few weeks.
We are making plans for Christmas and will be going to Foxy's on Jost Van Dyke for New Year's Eve. We miss everyone especially during the holiday season. Thanks to everyone for keeping in touch and following our progress!
All our best,
Frances and Al
Hey, guys. If you want some skinny on that place, I have only been there for 12 or so years. Watch out for Foxy's on New Years. It is a zoo, amateur night, speeding, running dark dinks, etc. Ppl in the water, looking to get chopped up. But there is a helluva party at Aragorn's place in Trellis Bay. Let me know, ok?
