Monday 8th February 2016 We leave the mooring around the Bitter End yacht club and Virgin Gorda by 8.30a.m. and sail past Saba Rock. We sail out past Necker Island and even though Peter is sure Sir Richard was waving us to join him, we continue on our way without stopping by for any of the Branson hospitality. Our Yacht Spyglass travels either by engines or sail depending on the wind conditions. Skipper Scott really loves to sail and is utterly in his element ...

Once we get going the journey never gets past 20m.p.h. In fact, S...

Tuesday 2nd February 2016  Sometimes in your life you find a beach that is pretty much perfect. One where the water is blue as a turquoise, the currents are minimal.
