BVI Trip - Day 9

Time to take the boat back home.  We were up and on our way by 7 am - we had to return the boat by 8:30 am



Barbara - cooking up the last of our groceries - her & June did so well at buying just the right amount!

Hello Roadtown (Tortola)



Fort Burt hotel again
marina

breakfast on the dock

June recording our adventures in the guest book

then off to the ferry terminal for an 11:30 ferry to St Thomas



On the ferry
hurricane damage - this resort has not been rebuilt - roofs off, collapsed portions...
a view of St John (US Virgin Islands) from the ferry (the islands are pretty close together)
St Thomas


we learned our lesson from the previous ferry ride - get off first so you can get through customs quicker...
and back at the airport.  We arrived early - so we had time for a final group cocktail (the airport was a Zoo).  Happy Travel Day (ugh)

Sunset from the airplane :)

BVI Trip - Day 8 (our last day at sea)

early morning start to our last full day on the boat!  We went ashore for a nice walk & breakfast

Chris & I climbed this crazy steep hill!
we didn't go all the way to the top, since there were some goats hanging around, and it was probably a private road.  I would never feel comfortable going up & down this hill in a vehicle - no way!

the views were pretty nice though!



we walked around the town for a bit & then had breakfast

then it was time to move on to our final destination - Peters Island


(we saw a lot of sailboats without masts, or booms, or... that probably were wrecked in the hurricane & were being repaired (or abandoned))




Peter's Island

one of our best days - lots of relaxing and snorkeling.  We all made the most of it!








we had dinner reservations at the resort (Oceans 7 Yacht Club), but we had appetizers on the boat beforehand
dinner - the only structure on this part of the island

we did a lot of dinghy rides this past week - and no one fell in :)



the club had a nice little pool - probably very refreshing on a hot sunny afternoon
it was quiet - about 5-7 tables were filled





back on the boat - we wrote down our itinerary - we all needed help remembering all that we had done!!
