Our family sailing adventure continues on the beautiful 59’ catamaran Port To Vino Samana 59 with Captain Jeff & Caitlin Nichols. What a glorious time we had! Between the large aft dining area, the front seating area, the trampoline and the large upper deck, there was plenty of room for the six of us to spread out and find our own space to lounge & relax. Day 4 found us on Cooper Island. We spent the whole day anchored there. In the morning, we swam and snorkeled again. After lunch we all went to the shore, to visit the beach bars, shops and spend a little time on the beach.

Day 5, after an early breakfast we sailed to Virgin Gorda to visit the BATHS. The Baths at Virgin Gorda are a natural wonder, featuring boulders and caverns that make up a maze that leads to secret rock pools and the famous Cathedral Room, a natural pool inside a small cave. There is a beautiful beach there you can enjoy at the end of your climb. Captain Jeff brought the group as close as he could with the dingy and they swam ashore. Caitlin led our group on the climb through the rocks. They got there early before the crowds so they could take their time and explore. Diane relaxed on the boat with her morning coffee as she has climbed through those rocks many times in her younger days.

After lunch, we sailed to the North Sound of Virgin Gorda. There we visited the Bitter End Yacht Club and Saba rock. We anchored for the night there so we could get an early start to my favorite island of Anegada. Caitlin is an amazing chef. Our meals were 5 star. Her professional diving and marine research background enabled her to give us so much educational knowledge of the sea and the fish that we saw each day. She & Captain Jeff make a good team! You can tell they love what they do. Stay tuned as we sail to the beautiful island of Anegada on Day 6.

Wow! Diane has just got back from the best sailing vacation ever on the lovely 59’ catamaran Port to Vino Samana59. 7 glorious nights with our own Captain & Chef sailing the beautiful waters of the British Virgins Islands! Captain Jeff & Caitlin Nichols were incredible! Our family sailing vacation was totally customized for us according to what we wanted to do. It was everything I hoped it would be. There were 6 of us. We had 4 cabins each with a queen bed & private bath. Grandma Diane had the owner’s suite with extra room. Between the large aft dining area, the front seating area & trampoline and the large upper deck, there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and find their space to lounge & relax.

With my mobility issues, this was the perfect yacht for me. It was spacious and airy – easy to get around on. There were lots of handrails. Their dingy platform lowers into the water, which made it extremely easy for me to get in and out of the water. On a yacht charter you can be as active or as inactive as you choose to be. Port To Vino has lots of water toys although we really didn’t take advantage of them. Everyone just wanted to relax and enjoy the water & the beaches.

We boarded our private yacht at Nanny Cay in Tortola. After lunch & a brief orientation we sailed to Norman Island and snorkeled in & out of the caves. We anchored at Treasure Point. Day 2 we sailed to the east end of Josh Van D**e. Some spent time on the beach. Those with more ambition took a hike to the Bubbly Pool. We anchored that night at Diamond Cay. Day 3 was White Bay on Josh Van D**e in the morning - beach time & the Soggy Dollar Beach Bar. In the afternoon we sailed to Peter Island and anchored at Great Harbor. We spent the afternoon snorkeling and just relaxing. Late each afternoon we had cocktails & snacks up on the fly bridge. Our Captain had a special cocktail each day. Stay turned for more of our sailing adventure as we continue on to Cooper Island on Day 4.

Thank you everyone for your birthday greetings. This month
I took a cruise in Greece with 25 friends including Kathy Kohring Nauretz whose birthday was just 18 days before mine. The Diamond tiaras were compliments of another good friend Penny McLaren.
Lots of sun, exercise and delicious Mediterranean food. Opa! That’s the way to approach a birthday! I highly recommend it!
