Jost Van Dyke - 04/21/15 au 04/25/15

First stop at Great Harbour on Jost Van Dyke to do the papers.

The mooring is not so beautiful so we decide to go a little further and we stop in front of Sandy Spit. The small island is beautiful with white sand and some small trees at the top. We stay some days here.



Again and again we have seeweeds on the hull, the keel and the rudder to remove.



We also celebrate Lucie's birthday. She prepares a lemon curd pie.



The first day is quiet but then the wind changes and big waves break on the coral reef.
The kids see that Angélus is here too. We quickly met them in Rabat (Marroco). It is good to have friends to play with!

Islands south of Tortola - 04/25/15 au 04/30/15

First stop of these island in Norman Island where Robert L. Stevenson might have be inspired to write Treasure Island.
We also stop at the Indians for a beautiful snorkeling.





Then a stop in Deadmans's Bay on Peter Island.
Angélus s already there and we meet Ben who is traveling alone on his First 32 Farouba Voile.

A good catch with 3 lobsters!!! Just delicious!



We have to finish the school before crossing back. The kids play in the boat, in the water, we walk on the island, go fishing... Maël built a small Mariposa.

We go to Spanish Town on Virgin Gorda in order to do some groceries.
Great, Louise can bake again!



Early in the morning around 6:30 we go visiting the famous "Baths". It's a national parc with natural pools surrounded by big rocks.
It is good to arrive early, there is too many people.
The walk is really nice.





Then we go mooring not so far in Savannah bay, norther. We have to be careful with the coral reef.
Ben of Farouba voile comes also and invites us for the lunch. We spend a good time together.



At night Louise makes some "paes de queijo".

Anegada - 05/03/15 - 05/06/15

We decide to visit Anegada, an island situated 20 milles north-west of Virgin Gorda.
Anegada is a flat island surrounded by a coral reef. 350 inhabitants are living there, most of them are fishermen.
It is four hours of navigation.



We arrive at Horse Shoe Reef, the water is turquoise.
We moore by 3,5 meters. We are alone, the landscape is just amazing!
In the afternoon, some snorkeling and the next day, Maël and Loïc are exploring wreck (there are a lot here).



Then we go to the west part of the island at Pomato Point. It is still really quiet.
We have to finish school these days.

Thanks to Méléos we can stay a little longer in the Virgin Islands because Méléos brings us Florence, Loïc's cousin from St Martin.
