Jost Van Dyke

 

This clipper ship anchored just outside "The Bight" after
FBG picked up her mooring ball the night before.
We sailed past her as began our passage to JVD.

January 17-18, 2023

Our second day of sailing took us to Jost Van Dyke.

Jada's well-aimed selfie catches me at the helm.

One of many amazing homes on Tortola.
This one is on the western tip near Soper's Hole.

Nicole takes the helm with John at her side.
John & Nicole have added another
boat to their fleet, so they'll also be 
sailing Lake Erie this summer.

Another gorgeous day on the water.

The mooring field was full at JVD, so FBG
dropped anchor at the southern edge of the mooring field.

After dinghying ashore we grabbed a cold drink at Foxy's.

Notice all the burgees and flags hanging
at Foxy's.  We'd be back for dinner, but
grabbed a taxi heading to the Soggy Dollar.

The yellow track shows our dinghy ride to Foxy's and
the taxi ride to the Soggy Dollar.

The ridge rose dramatically high above
the two bays, providing this view as the taxi
began the downhill trek to the Soggy Dollar.

The view of the mooring field from the ridge above as
we taxied back to Foxy's.

The Moraine Sailing Club hat was already
dangling from Foxy's rafters!
John and Nicole added the LASC burgee on
Wednesday morning.  They even saw
Foxy, himself, enjoying the morning sun!
