Capt Justin and Maddo’s
Notes on board the big beautiful sailing catamaran
Charcott

Our family of five today were on a mission. At least Mom and Dad were.

Mom and Dad had done an extended charter here with some friends before, and now were hoping their 10, 14 and 16 year-olds would love the experience as much as they had.

Our first stop was Lovango Cay for snorkeling some gorgeous coral heads right beneath the boat.

Then we opened up a sail in unusually calm wind and sea condtions, and eased our way into Christmas Cove. Anchoring directly behind the world-famous Pizza Pi VI restaurant boat, we could strongly smell our lunch that was likely just coming out of the oven.

While Dad had taken off on one of the paddleboards to get the pizza, two large spotted eagle rays were spotted lingering very close by, and one of our younger guests was able to jump in with snorkel gear and get a close look.

After pizza, they snorkeled all around the Fish Cay rocks in calm clear water, where Mom and Dad spotted an eel hiding in vertical wall of sea life. The kids didn't seem to believe them!

But later the kids and the captain were sitting on the back of the catamaran when one of those spotted eagle rays suddenly jumped about four feet out of the water, almost close enough to splash us!

Mom and Dad never saw it.

But the kids and I high-fived each other.

Mission accomplished!

Strings, Sails and Sunsets

What an incredible sunset for our first concert of this season. As we sailed out from St John, the sunset just kept getting better and better.
We had special guests on board…..all guests are special…… but tonight we had the famous Teddy and his family onboard.
It was pretty awesome watching teddy and his little sister sing along to almost every song :~).
It seems like we always use this word to describe these nights but… they really are magical!

Quote of the night….. at the end of the night, Erin said…..”hearing the little ones sing, made my whole heart happy!” Awesome kids can definitely have that effect on you :~).

Rain, dolphins and octopi .

It rained a lot today. On the way to St John everyone tucked away to stay dry. The rain let up and the sun poked through as these guys swam with turtles at Maho. Onward their way back to the boat, DOLPHINS showed up for some fun time. They swam around and hung out for a bit. It was super cool.
We had more rain as we made our way to Lovango Cay. The rain didn’t stop these guys from seeing all the coral and fish that hang out there.
It didn’t rain hard but, On the way to Christmas cove it was difficult to see any land. It was so crazy looking.
We had enough of a break in the rain that they snorkeled all over the ledge. They saw sting rays and even got to see an octopus!
They absolutely loved all of the spots but the dolphins and the octopus stole the show today.
The rain stopped long enough for a couple of them to get a good nap up on the front on the way back to St Thomas :~).

Quote of the day…….. after the dolphins swam away she looked up and super loud and dripping with excitement, said……”that’s a bucket list item for sure!!!” We always love sending people home with a lighter bucket :~).

Surfing the waves

We love when friends have friends visiting :~). We grabbed all of these guys from St. John this morning and had a bumpy sail over to Jost. The Christmas winds are definitely kicking :~).
Everyone enjoyed Great Harbor before we went around over to White Bay. After a short swim in they had a blast! They got back to the boat just in time to head back. We surfed down lots of big rollers all the way back to .

Quote of the day……one of the ladies asked if she could see what I got. As I reached to pull up my shirt she said…….”noooo, your camera!” :~). Turns out she is a professional photographer and just wanted to she what camera I used :~). Clear communication is always good :~).

The most of Jost

These guys had never been but had heard about all of the fun.
We picked them up from St John and had a really good sail over. Lots of wind and it wasn’t as bumpy as we thought it might be :~).
These guys walked the sandy roads of Great Harbor and had some treats at Corsairs Beach Bar & Restaurant Then a stop off at Foxy's before heading over to White Bay. We got a nice close spot and they all headed in for some more excitement.
After lots of pain killers at Soggy Dollar Bar, they managed to make it back to the boat :~).
It was another great sail back to .

Quote of the day…… as we came into the channel at the end of the day, capt Michelle gave them all the run down and the warnings about customs. After Capts warnings we still heard, several times, from the ladies …….remember, ….”they don’t like jokes”.
They all did well and no one got the rubber glove treatment :~).

Capt Justin and Vanessa’s notes
On board the big sailing catamaran
Charcott :~).

We picked up this extended family of six on St. John and headed straight over to Lovango to start the day with some snorkeling. Our youngest guest was three, and while most of the others were enjoying the healthy corals and colorful fish in the clear water, she was content to sit on the edge with her mom and share some of her corn chips with the fish.

There was much talk and excitement about the newly re-opened Pizza Pi floating restaurant, so after snorkeling we put up some sail for a run downwind to Christmas Cove. With orders for lunch placed, the captain jumped in first to check the anchor and was able to bring to the surface an enormous hemit crab, living in a conch shell, much to the delight of our youngest guest.

Instead of having the pizza delivered, one guest and one crew volunteered for a mini-adventure to paddleboard the short distance to pick up the food and drinks.

After lunch and more underwater critters to see in the calm of Christmas Cove, we all decided to head back over to St. John to enjoy Honeymoon Beach, one of the only National Park beaches the family had not already spent time this trip.

By mid-afternoon, everyone had had their fill of snorkeling, gourmet pizza, and the rum punch some of the elders had brought. Everyone had settled in to the beanbag chairs on the trampoline, and it was decided we would finish the day with some sightseeing of areas this family had not had a chance to see yet.

So we set out for the scenic north side of Lovango Cay, slowly passing close to Congo Cay, where the avid birdwatchers with us were able to get a good look at some nesting white and brown pelicans, brown-footed bo***es, and even a species of white tern none of us had seen before.

Another great day on the water, making memories for the young and the young at heart!

Jost with a snorkel stop.

We grabbed these guys from St John and headed straight for Jost in the BVI. The winds were soft and the seas calm so it was a smooth ride over.
We rode the dinghy into great Harbor so they could have some drinks atFoxy's While they were there they grabbed a little food and we got to hear all about their pet hermit crabs. Apparently it’s a thing. :~). They were very cute crabs….yes, we got to see pictures :~). The hermit crab mom has been loving it on with all of the crabs running around :~).
Soon we were off and Capt Michelle found us the perfect spot in front of white bay. These guys had a very short swim in and loved the atmosphere at Soggy Dollar Bar
On the way back we stopped off so they could enjoy a little snorkeling at Lovango.

Quote of the day……. While snorkeling one of them stayed on the boat. But her wife called up to her and asked…..”you sure you don’t want to come, there’s sooooo many fish in here!” Lovango never disappoints.

Capt Justin and Vanessa’s
Notes on board the beautiful sailing catamaran
Charcott!

We began with picking up our four guests on St. Thomas. Everyone was from the DC area, which is more or less my old stomping grounds, so as we got underway it was fun talking about all of the places we have all been, and all of the fun adventures we had all had in the Maryland and Virgina rivers and beaches. In summertime only of course!

We set out across Pillsbury Sound with the lush green colors of St. John intensifying before our eyes by the minute as we approached Honeymoon Beach, our first stop. Everyone including the captain was eager to jump in that inviting turquoise water just as soon as possible, so we picked up a mooring close to the beach and all enjoyed a swim, as we talked about the historic significance of the National Park and that beach in particular.

We decided to save our snorkel gear for the next stop, nearby Lovango, which I always say never disappoints a snorkeler.

There our guests spent over an hour exploring all of the healthy and well-populated coral heads. There was much excited discussion about the various species, and some fun debate about which fish is which.

This charter was a bit longer, and our folks expressed a desire to go to a beach where they could not only go ashore for a big lunch, but wade and splash in some shallow and calm water, as one of the ladies was a self-described "non-swimmer".

So I suggested we head to one of my favorite hidden gems, Secret Harbor. We put the head sail out for a lively run downwind back across the Sound, through Current Cut where we were able to point out to them where their condo was at Cowpet Bay, before we rounded the corner into Secret Harbor. A place whose name seems especially appropriate when approached by sea, as you would never know it was there almost until you get there.

We dropped an anchor as the sea state went from rough to perfectly calm in a matter of seconds, adding to the magical effect.

We launched the inflatable dinghy, and got everyone on board for a quick mini-adventure over to the dinghy-dock, as Vanessa got to show off her truly impressive small-boat handling skills.

Our group enjoyed a variety of delicious offerings from the Sunset Grill, and our non-swimmer got to enjoy some wading in the clear, gentle waters the small Harbor almost always offers.

Once the group was back on board with their leftover gourmet pizzas, we pulled anchor and made the short but somewhat wild and "bumpy" voyage out to Christmas Cove, where again the protection of Great St. James transformed the cranky seas into a clear and tranquil pool.

Anchoring near Fish Cay, I was first to jump in just to confirm the anchor had set well. What I saw was an anchor deeply set in sand, surrounded by four very curious and adorable trunk fish. There were also two sting-rays and several sea stars directly under the boat, in about 12 feet of water.

So as soon as our guests were back in the water, which didn't take long due to their sheer enthusiasm, they were able to enjoy watching all those same critters I had seen, as well as many more all around Fish Cay.

This group was equally passionate about sunbathing up forward on the spacious trampoline, and more than one afternoon nap was enjoyed deep in a bean-bag chair.

Meanwhile the cockpit of the catamaran was the center of the all day party, as the music never stopped being enjoyed by all, and by the afternoon there was some singing and a little bit of dancing noticed.

All in all, another perfect day, despite the sea conditions some old sailors would call "spirited"-- there were four big grins as our new friends disembarked, promising to return!

Time to book for a magical night!!

Haven't been on the socials much the last couple of days 'cause I've been lost in the land of web design. Hopefully I will have exciting things to share on that front very soon. In the meantime, I thought I'd post a pretty picture of a sailboat at sunset and remind everyone that I'll be kicking off my first sunset sail concert of the season on Wednesday Nov. 22nd. There are 7 spaces left and I'd love to fill them will some of you fabulous humans.

More of the BVI
Day three of four

We didn’t see the sun all day but we didn’t let that put a damper on the fun. We had a wonderful sail back towards Tortola. We stopped off for a nice little snorkel stop at Monkey Point on Guana Island. The breeze was nice and with the cloud cover it really made for a cool relaxing day.
We then headed over to Cane Garden bay for the night. We rescued a broken dinghy as soon as we got moored up. After dinner we dropped these guys off on shore for some night life, which was a lot of fun. When we went back to pick them up we found some guys who couldn’t find their dinghy. We told them that surely it was just a mistake by someone who was too drunk to recognize their own dinghy :~). Now that is drunk :~).
We took them around to all the boats looking for their dinghy. And sure enough, we found it. Those people explained that when they got to the dock they couldn’t find their dinghy so they just grabbed that one. Who does that?!? That’s not the right way to handle that situation :~). Well we had an adventure and got our new friends back on board their dinghy :~). So much fun.

Quote of the day…….when we found their dinghy one of the guys asked…….”what are you doing with my dinghy”. If you have to ask, something’s not right :~).

We picked them up on St John and it was a beautiful sail all the way to Jost. The walked the Sandy beaches of Great Harbor and enjoyed a few drinks at Foxy's
We then took the short hop around the corner and found the perfect spot to drop the hook right next to the beach in white bay. They had a short swim and had a great time Soggy Dollar Bar
Capt Michelle hoisted full sails again and we enjoyed another amazing sail back to .

Quote of the day……..his wife was telling us how much fun she had and he piped in with…..”that’s why we always come back with you guys!” Now that feels really good :~). It’s always amazing getting to be a part of peoples good times!!

Capt Michelle’s first official delivery

Last weekend when we were in Tortola, we picked up a lagoon for a couple who had just purchased her. We took the ferry over there and brought their boat back.
Night before last night we climbed on board and went over to Christmas cove for a beautiful evening. At 2am, we jumped up, hoisted full sails and headed for St Croix. It was a beautiful night sail with winds around 10kts and smooth seas. We pulled into St Croix shortly after sunrise. It’s 33 nautical miles. We met the new owners and relaxed as we waited for their puppy to fly in on her private flight :~).
As soon as they picked her up, we were off again to make the trip back to St Thomas. Winds were up a bit and the seas were a little bumpy :~).
Just out of the marina we had a pod of dolphins join us for a little bit. So awesome :~).
The puppy did super well and only got excited when the bo***es, that were swooping down and catching the flying fish, came close over her head. Can’t really blame her though…. I get excited when bo***es are close to my head as well :~)
It was a beautiful sunset and an all around amazing day of sailing :~).
Really!!….. who can beat sailing, dolphins, and bo***es over head, while sitting next to the most amazing woman alive!!!!??

The princess and her peeps

The little princess brought her whole crew with her :~).
They came in on a cruise ship so we only had time for two stops.
Maho, on St John is always a favorite. They looked for turtles, paddle boarded and even played on the beach some.
We then had more fun on the front side of Lovango Cay before Capt Michelle rolled out the front sail and headed back to St Thomas.

Quote of the day……… I tossed the paddleboard in the water and our little princess swam up and grabbed ahold. She said I could let go of it. When I told her that I needed to wait until a grown up has it, she just smiled and said……”memes got it!” No doubt that meme is her go to and always “has it” :~).

We then had more fun on the front side of Lovango Cay before Capt Michelle rolled out the front sail and headed back to St Thomas. Quote of the day……… I tossed the paddleboard in the water and our little princess swam up and grabbed ahold. She said I could let go of it. When I told her that I needed to wait until a grown up has it, she just smiled and said……”memes got it!” No doubt that meme is her go to and always “has it” :~).

Meeting the in-laws :~) When you develop an island family and then they have their brothers and sisters come in for a visit, it’s kind of like meeting the in-laws :~). Some of our island family has family in town. They really wanted to party at Jost so, we grabbed them from St John and had an incredible sail to Jost. They spent the whole day playing on White Bay. Capt Michelle and I even got some time to lay out to even up our tan lines :~). We all had a fabulous time and another great sail back to #StJohn. Quote of the day…… one of the brothers pulled out some money for a tip and said…..”I had planned on giving you guys $200, but then when we were on the beach, we saw Capt John come out in his speedo…. And that’s worth another $100!” If we had know that….. the Speedo would have been shown more often :~).

Sisters These guys were as excited about the sting rays they saw at Maho on St John, as they were about the sea turtles. Even with the winds of the storm that passed by, the seas today were nice and calm. We had plenty of clouds to keep us from getting fried :~). The waters at Lovango were super clear and the fish were everywhere. Mom felt like it was like swimming in a fishbowl :~). Capt Michelle sailed us over to Christmas cove and the girls had a blast paddleboarding and swinging in the hammocks. Of course they snorkeled first and got to see lots more fish. We felt pretty awesome when we heard our youngest guest, as we headed back to St Thomas, tell her dad that when she has kids, she is gonna bring them here to go out on this boat :~). Quote of the day……when mom was encouraging the girls to turn back towards the boat, the girls said something that got mom to say…….”I didn’t say I would be good at it but I wouldn’t be facing the wrong way” :~).

10/4/23 Tropical Storm Philippe passed by last night. We were very blessed that that it went far enough north that we just got lots of rain and some strong winds :~).

Educators from Tennessee These educators and their husbands are on a much needed fall break. On a boat in the Virgin Islands, pretty dang good fall break. We took these guys to swim with the turtles at Maho on St John, then to Lovango, where loads of fish were waiting right under the boat. Capt Michelle then hoisted full sails for a fabulous sail over to Christmas cove. After snorkeling the ledge and seeing tons more fish and even a sting ray, we just chilled and told stories. The naked, poo slinging kindergartner, on the slide, was probably the best story :~). It really is amazing what teachers have to deal with today :~). We then had a nice easy ride back to St Thomas. Quote of the day…….jokingly, after he began to drift away from the boat, he told his wife……..”I think I put my flippers on upside down because I’m going backwards” :~).

Nurse sharks galore. We hit Maho on St John for the first stop. They got to see lots of turtles and the ladies took the paddle boards all over before doing some snorkelboarding :~). We tried the backside of Lovango for the second stop but the current was strong. They at least got to see the unbelievably beautiful colors of the waters and skies back there. Capt Michelle took around to the front side and within just a couple of mins, they swam right back to the boat. They found a nurse shark. Then we all got to see it swim right beside the boat. They were nervous to get back in so I jumped in first so they could feel better :~). It wasn’t long before we got to see two nurse sharks swimming along side of each other. After a bit longer a bigger one came swimming around. We got to swim along beside them and watch their beauty. There were so many fish and I got to see an eel :~). So cool!!! There was zero wind all day and the trip back to St Thomas was smooth and easy :~). Quote of the day….. mom was telling us about how she was called over by her daughters friend after the friend saw the first shark. She thought at first she wanted to show her something. Then she realized that…..”she just wanted her closer because the friend knew she could out swim her!” :~). You don’t have to be able to put swim a shark, just have to be able to put swim the slowest swimmer :~).

Sleeping through customs It’s been a couple of years since these guys were out. Last time it was just mom, dad, daughter and son in law. And they brought the two adorable reasons why they all missed the last two years :~). Nothing like have two babies within two years :~). Mom definitely needed some fun on the water :~). After a full day of playing on Jost, the little guy just laid in his dads arms and slept right through customs. He got to met Foxy, enjoyed Cheetos dipped in sprite and played a lot on the beautiful white beach of white bay. We had great winds both ways. Can’t wait to see how many we have next year :~). Quote of the day…… as he and mom were swimming back from white bay I grabbed the camera and his mom told him to smile. He looked at the camera and with a big smile said…..”cheeeeese!” He’s been taught well :~) Always an amazing boat day in the Virgin Islands with #BeachChartersVI while on board the beautiful sailing catamaran Second Chance!

Their visiting family Some of our regular locals have family here visiting and of course, no visit is complete without a boat trip. We left St Thomas knowing that turtles were on the list. They weren’t in the water at Maho on St John, for two mins before they saw the first turtle. After checking out a bunch of turtles they came back to hang around in the hammocks and just float around. The wind is almost totally dead and the seas almost totally flat. The ride over to Lovango was super smooth. The waters were perfectly clear and the beautiful fish were everywhere :~). It was another smooth ride over between the St James’s and into Christmas Cove. One of the girls had a bit too much fun and it caught up to her on the way over to the cove :~). After getting to see “lots of pretty fish” it was time to head back to #StThomas. Quote of the day……when we pulled up to Lovango, one of the cousins announced how drunk she was. Her mom told her that she should not get in the water then. :~). Her cousins face lit up and she said……..”oh you should definitely go swimming”. Leave it to the cousins for the best bad ideas :~).

Scapressive These kids were fearless. We stopped off at Lovango and they started flipping and jumping and just having a blast. The little guy first stepped up to the side to jump off and decided to flip instead. It seemed like he just skimmed the side of the boat :~). All of the adults were a bit shocked. Every time he flipped it was the same. Scary and impressive all at the same time….Scapressive Capt Michelle hoisted full sails and we had an amazing sail all the way to Christmas cove where there was snorkeling, hammocks, relaxing and more scapressiveness……(you gotta admit, that’s a cool word :~). The ride back to St Thomas was smooth and relaxing. Quote of the day…….the little guy was asking me a question as we pulled into Christmas cove and right in the middle of his sentence, Capt Michelle dropped the main. He heard the noise and looked up fast enough to see it come down. His eyes got huge and he whipped around, ran to his mom and excitedly said……”I got to see it come down!!” Gotta love the excitement!!!

Point your toes These guys have been out with us before and this year they brought some more friends for a trip to Jost in the BVI :~). It was a really nice fast sail over with lots of splashing and even more sweeping coming from the tramps. They hung out atFoxy's Bar. Jost Van Dyke, BVI for a bit and we stopped to get some cute pics with the sand, palms and blue water. Of course the girls made it look good but the guys just couldn’t figure out how to point their toes :~). Their pics turned out real good though, even without pointy toes :~). After having lots of fun at Soggy Dollar Bar in White Bay, Bvi, we had some jumping and flipping off the boat. Capt Michelle then hoisted full sails and we had another awesome sail back towards St John. Although we were a little worried someone might get the rubber glove treatment at customs, no one got into trouble :~). We had one more nice ride back to St Thomas to finish off a fantastic day :~). Quote of the day………..on the way back mom was feeling good. I looked at her son and asked if she was alright. He shrugged and smiled real big and mouthed…….”I don’t know!” She was fine but I think he got a kick out of making fun of his mom :~).

Shanagans These guys came off of a cruise so we started late but we didn’t waste any time :~) We left St Thomas quick and headed straight for Honeymoon Beach, St John. Several of them swam to the beach while the others just relaxed on the boat. When everyone made it back to the boat it was time to explore Little St James. They really wanted to see it and step foot on it. Capt Michelle rolled out the sail and I’m not time we were there. We got up close so the guys that wanted to could swim to shore. They ended up stepping more then just a foot on shore :~). We won’t go into detail on where all they explored and everything they jumped into….. Capt Michelle doesn’t want to be implicated :~). Let’s just say, it was pretty epic :~). After pulling away and realizing that we had a tad more time, we turned around so they could take their phones with them for more exploration. However, security was swarming so we made another 180 and had a nice smooth ride back to #StThomas. Quote of the day…… I’m pretty sure the one guy knew how far the others would push things because, when the guys headed over to explore, they asked him if he was going to go along and he simply smiled and said…..”no, I have people that rely on me!” Always an amazing boat day in the Virgin Islands with #BeachChartersVI while on board the beautiful sailing catamaran Second Chance!

Strings, Sails and Sunsets Tonight’s crowd consisted of two groups. One group had someone that was celebrating their 75th birthday. The other group was what they called, “ the modern family”. :~). The daughter, her mom and dad and her step mom and dad. What a super cool group of people who have chosen to find the joy and happiness that is within their world. :~). Capt Michelle gave us a great sail out and back into Caneel Bay. There is a lot of Sahara dust in the air but that didn’t keep the night from being beautiful!! Great people, great music, GREAT night!!!! Quote of the night….. our birthday guy told us that a good friend of his called him to wish him a happy birthday and told him…..”you’ve got another 5 good years ahead of you!” Immediately I thought, only 5? But heck, 80 is pretty dang good :~). Always an amazing boat day in the Virgin Islands with #BeachChartersVI while on board the beautiful sailing catamaran Second Chance!

Happy Birthday Bia!! It’s a friend of ours birthday today! Bia Karaawi who owns Shield Insurance has some family visiting the islands to help her celebrate getting really old. :~) And no celebration is complete without some time on a boat!! The birthday girl was born and raised on St Thomas but had never been to Waterlemon Cay on St John. So that was our first stop. They snorkeled and partied and then we were off to check out Lovango Cay. They snorkeled a bit more and then checked out the rocky shore line. Capt Michelle hoisted full sails and gave us an amazing sail over to Christmas cove. They tried out the paddleboards. The birthday girl tried out the board. She got a little ways off and couldn’t get the board to turn around. Sooooo, she spun around on the board and paddled the board backwards :~). There’s always a new way to do things. By the time she got back she had it all figured out. The ride back to #StThomas was nice and smooth and was a perfect end to perfect birthday. Here’s to your year of accomplishing all that’s in front of you!!!! Quote of the day………. At one point in time the birthday girl looked at her mom and said……”mommy!, thanks for having me on this day” :~). If only all kids could appreciate their parents more :~).

Being happy to be here They all snorkeled all over Maho Bay and got to see loads of things. Our second stop way the back side of Lovango. There, dad hung back while everyone else snorkeled. He just sat up front, looking out at the big beautiful world around us and was just “being happy to be here!” We can totally agree with that!! They enjoyed their turkey wraps and some fun in the hammocks, before Capt Michelle hoisted full sails. We had enough wind that we were able to go, wind only, for most of the way to Christmas cove. They all went to check out the sunken boat before snorkeling around most of the cove. Sea turtles, eels and tons of fish were just a few of the things they got to see today before we headed back to St John. Quote of the day……. Just after climbing into the hammock, which she totally mastered, mom said…….”there’s not much better then swinging in a hammock off the back of a boat!” Always an amazing boat day in the Virgin Islands with #BeachChartersVI while on board the beautiful sailing catamaran Second Chance!

Back flips at Jost His sister was nailing the back flips in front of White Bay and so he went for it. It was not a good back flip but it was a spectacular flop! :~). To be fair, he was nailing all of his front flips :~) They had spent a little time in Great Harbor before we made it to White Bay. They swam in, played in the beach, enjoyed lunch at Soggy and came back to the boat for some jumping and flipping. We had gotten some sprinkles on the way over to Jost but after an amazing sail back over to St John, we got hammered. The rain was crazy and we all ended up soaked but the smiles and laughter never stopped. The weather will never stop great people from having a good time :~). Quote of the day……after the downpour and on our way back to St Thomas, mom was having a great time, talking, laughing, dancing in the rain and being extra fun. Her daughter looked at her and said…….”you’re done!” Being cut off by your daughter is never a good thing but didn’t stop mom from continuing to party :~).

Good snorkeling and good times Good snorkeling and good times was the only thing in the list today. We hit Waterlemon Cay on Dt John and the back side of Lovango to start. They got some great snorkeling and had lots of fun. Capt Michelle hoisted full sails to get to Christmas cove so they could have some more great snorkeling. These guys had a blast jumping and flipping off the boat and only stopped when they had to. We went a bit over time because Capt Michelle didn’t have the heart to stop their fun when time was up :~). It was a nice smooth ride back to St Thomas :~). Quote of the day…. One of the little guys wanted to jump in but was nervous. His sister asked….. “do you want me to throw you in?” He said yes but after throwing she threw him in for a face plant, he will probably have a different answer :~).

Strings, Sails and Sunsets After learning that they could stay on longer, we scooped up a couple of more peeps from St Thomas and headed for St John. We scooped up the rest of everyone for tonight’s trip and Capt Michelle rolled out the sail. After a short sail we found a great spot in Caneel Bay. The sun created lots of Picture perfect moments. The stories, the songs and the sunset were all amazing. What an incredible thing life is!!!!! Quote of the night…….. before Erin was set up and ready, one of our younger guests took his mom down stairs to check out the cabins. He had to check and make sure that he and his sister would get their own cabins :~). He was happy to hear they would, then I told him that a lot of people like to sleep on the trampolines. His eyes got big and he said……”ohhhh, we can do that!?!!” We know where he will be sleeping when they come out for their mult day trip :~).

Jost, BVI Day 2 of 2 We all got up nice and early, had a Janet Sunshine Bagels for breakfast and were off. It was a really quick jump from our mooring to the next mooring in front of the caves. Lots and lots of fish made for great snorkeling. Capt Michelle then hoisted full sails and we had a great sail, all the way to Jost. We all enjoyed the sandy roads of Great Harbor. They really give you the Carribean island feel. They took time to enjoyFoxy's Bar. Jost Van Dyke, BVI and Corsairs Beach Bar & Restaurant As we pulled in to white Bay, we found a great spot super close to the beach and they were off for the beach bar portion of their trip. They had a great time but did say that next time they want to spend more time in great harbor. Capt Michelle hoisted full sails again and we were off towards St John. It was a beautiful sail. After clearing back in it was a short hop back over to St Thomas. Quote of the day…… as we made our way to St Thomas she was already talking about how she was not going to willingly leave the boat. When I mentioned that we had spaces available on our concert tonight, she smiled big and said……..”well I’m not getting off the boat, so yes!!” She just might still be on board tomorrow :~).

Make up day Many of you have probably heard us talk about our family that comes out every year for at least a week. This time she brought a bunch of friends instead of her husband and kids. These ladies were supposed to do an overnight trip last Friday but because of an emergency, they didn’t make it to the island until Saturday. Fortunately, we had one day open this week and could do a make up day. It’s not an overnight but we suppose that will just give them something to look forward to the next time :~). We did something a little different today. We spent snuggle day at Maho on St John after getting back from Tortola yesterday. These ladies are staying at Cinnamon Bay. Soooo, we just pulled around the corner and picked them up at the beach :~). Even though it is really close, they still chose Maho as the first stop. We can’t blame them because it’s one of our favorites :~). They saw lots of turtles before we headed out for the front side of Lovango. They saw lots of fish and all of the new coral that’s been planted there. After lunch Capt Michelle hoisted full sails, shut off the engines and we had an incredible sail all the way to Christmas Cove. They really liked Christmas Cove because they got to see lots of new stuff. Their favorite might have been the squid they saw. It was a nice easy ride back to #StJohn. Quote of the day……. One of their daughters called while we were out and during the conversation asked if she was having fun. Her mom quickly responded…..”it doesn’t get any better then this!” Always an amazing boat day in the Virgin Islands with #BeachChartersVI while on board the beautiful sailing catamaran Second Chance!
