Bob & Beth’s BVI Vacation, March 2020

We were so excited to have Bob & Beth visit in the BVI!  Other than the few days in Antigua, they had never been to the Caribbean.  We picked up a mooring in Trellis Bay on Friday, 3/6/20 to await their arrival at Terrance B. Lettsome International (Beef Island) Airport the following evening. After a short walk from the airport to Trellis Bay, we stopped for rum and a bite to eat before dinghying out to the boat.  

The first stop was The Baths and it did not disappoint.  We had a wonderful day hiking around the rocks, swimming in Devil’s Bay and enjoying the spectacular view with a cocktail (lime daiquiris for all) at the Top of the Baths.  We had reserved a BoatyBall at Manchioneel Bay, Cooper Island for the evening.  Next stop was Norman Island.  We hiked up the hill behind the Pirate’s Bight and to the northeast point for great views of Peter Island and beyond.  The next day was bright and sunny so we had some great snorkeling at the caves and the Indians.  


We then headed for Jost Van Dyke.  We had a great beach day at White Bay and hiked to the Bubbly Pool on the second day.  Unfortunately, the six days had gone by way too fast and it was time to head back to Trellis Bay.  We took the dinghy to Scrub Island for one last dinner out before hitting the sack with our alarm clocks set for a very early morning to get Bob & Beth back to the airport.  We were sad to see them go, especially since we had learned that our daughter, son-in-law, son and his girlfriend were not going to be able to visit us because of concerns over the Corona Virus.
