Yeah!

* fer some reason it was really slow to upload pics onto here, so unfortunately you're gonna have to make due with... reading..
Yeah! So we are now finally on our boat! At the moment we are just chillin in "The Bight" within the Norman Islands. It's kinda weird that we get internet here, what with being in the middle of nowhere. Looking back however i realize that there has been quite a gap between the last blog, so i am gonna do a small recap. Once we landed in San Juan, we spent the night in a Best Western and took a small Cessna over to Tortola where we will pick up and provision our Catamaran.


After the long and expensive taxi ride to the docks, we realized that our boat wouldnt be ready until several hours from then, so we killed the time by geting our provisions early. During that time we also met the other couple that would be accompaning us on another boat, Babs and her hubby, "J.F.". Once we finished the provisioning and organizing, we spent the night on the boat. The next day we met our Capitan, Brian, and unfortunately we were unable to leave that day, which allowed us to finish any last minute problems. So now we were off, Brian helped my dad at the helm, and me and my mom with the sails, until finally we were out of the marina and were heading towards a place called "the indians". It's a pretty random name for a cluster of rocks, but it had some pretty good snorkeling, so we snorkeled and whatnot until we had decided to sail the last 20 min towards our landin' spot of The Bight. After spending the night here, we woke up to find that Babs' boat's motor or something had broken, so we sent Brian out to go sort things out. While he was being Mr. Mechanic, we dingy'ed out to some caves, where the movie Treasure Island was filmed (or written... can't remember which). This was a really good snorkeling spot, with lots of fish and really clear water.

*Yeah, like, there was supposed to be a pretty cool pictuere here but...

So yeah, now we're just chillin in The Bight waiting for Brian to get back, but we are thinking that we might have to wait here another night... also, getting internet is random so the blog may not be updated as often as we would like..

This is a Petter Post..
