Jimmy Buffett sang of Cane Garden Bay on Tortola. This is a beautiful tropical setting which features a great beach.
Soper's Hole, Tortola. There is a great welder here who fixed up one of our davit brackets. Also there is a Pusser's store which sells the famous Pusser's rum and also the famous Painkiller mix. The Painkiller is the drink of the Virgin Islands. The cocktail is a combination of rum, coconut cream and pineapple juice with nutmeg sprinkled on top. I have been drinking them, and now I can make them!
For all you Tucson fans out there. Must have been quite the journey! Maybe they came for the cacti!
It was another straight-up hike to get a picture of The Bight Anchorage at Norman's Island. There is a great snorkeling site here (with caves) at Treasure Point. This island is referred to by the locals as Treaure Island and was thought to be the inspiration for the book. A supply boat called Deliverance makes the rounds here selling ice, water, fruit, veggies, and ice cream! We met a couple from Hungary here - Jossef and Kornelia. They stopped by our boat asking questions about going through the Panama Canal so we had them up for a cocktail so we could tell them about our experience. They said they would have a cocktail with us if we had coffee with them on their boat the next day, which we did. We had a lovely time talking about sailing experiences. During one conversation, Jossef told me I spoke excellent English. I told him I should, it is my native language. He said what he meant to say was I did not have an accent and that they found New Yorkers and Texans hard to understand! They were delightful.

Again, the west is the best (this time in terms of English spoken without an accent :-)
