Soper's Hole, Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Well, we are tied up tightly at the dock at Soper's Hole Marina, Tortola. We just could not get the marina on St Thomas to commit, so we decided to leave lovely Platina here instead. 2 intense days of getting Platina ready for our departure Thursday. The marina was reluctant to let us leave her unattended, but we prevailed (or was it the US peso?).
We had a lovely day's sail with 20 knots of wind. We went well out of the islands to refresh our skills, and headed back in to tie up in time to wash the boat (and have a cold beer). It was slightly strange to consider this our last sail for 3 weeks! It just had to be right! How would we feel being on LAND! Time will tell...
