Final BVI

Wednesday, July 28

Our last full day in the BVI we headed out of Soper's Hole and across the channel to the Indians, some large rocks sticking out of the water and known as a good snorkeling spot. We hopped in the water and enjoyed some more snorkle time. Back to the boat and it was a good day for sailing so we worked our way up the channel. We ended up on Peter Island, at Great Harbor. It was a pretty little bay and we found a good place to moor. Back in the water for more snorkeling, we saw some cute squid swimming in formation. Rachel and I explored on shore, checking out a resort that was closed for the season and picking some papayas from a tree. We enjoyed the papaya for dinner as well as a "use up the food" meal. We viewed our final sunset and night on the boat.

We were up early to head across the channel and back to the base. Then it was time to clean out the boat and take a taxi to the ferry terminal. That was the beginning of our long journey home which involved taxis, ferries, planes, cars, and lots of standing in lines for customs and immigration and baggage screening. We made it back to the Nichols by 1:20 in the morning (4:20 island time) and crashed quickly. The next morning Jeff and I drove the rest of the way home to Dallas and tried to recover from "travel butt".
