Back in the BVI

Having left Antigua very early on Tuesday morning we sailed to St Maarten where we anchored for the night in a very swelly and rolly Simpson Bay. Needless to say not much sleep that night but at least we had a rest. The following morning we then left very early to sail back to the BVI. On our final approach to the BVi we were unlucky enough to snag a fishing pot but fortunately Peter was able to free this off and we carried on our way.Arrived around 1am this morning and dropped anchor outside the Marina. Now on the dock in The Moorings Marina and back with our old friends. Everyone has welcomed us back and we love it here! Looks like we have some temporary work in June doing charters in the USVI for a change. Full time work depends on getting us work permits but the Manager thinks there should not be a problem for us to start again on 1 October. We have even been offered our old boat Heartbeat as she is staying in the fleet for another year. The question now remains as to what do we do with Trompeta? She is beautifully equipped for ocean sailing but I doubt Peter will be in a hurry to do more of this for a while! It has been fun but hard work at times. Going back to work as charter crew will feel like having a holiday again!!
