Captain Nick and his pirate wife Kathy welcome you aboard Quite the Catch, a Fountain Pajot Saona 47

A friend lamented that I haven’t posted enough lately. I’ll try and do better TC! So here’s Great Harbor on Jost Van D**e, taken from the cockpit. Anchorage only has a few boats right now, as it’s that magic “turnover time”. It’s Friday, so the charter fleet will arrive soon enough! But gonna stay put another day or two, and let the wind gusts subside, and enjoy the Beach BBQ at Foxy’s. Note: they really need rain on Jost…hillsides are turning brown.

So good to be out of the marina and back on the water. Boat projects are done, and now it’s time to watch the sunset (same sunset, several pics) and enjoy the moon and the stars (zoom in).…and eat well too! On another topic, it’s kinda cool to see your sailing vessel show up (with all the big dogs) on maritime traffic apps.

Are you able to drop everything and fly to the BVI for a sailing adventure? Crew needed on for two weeks on Quite the Catch, beginning at noon on Tuesday, March 21 (depart marina)...until approx April 3rd. Must have experience, as you will be an active part of the crew. Bring your spouse, SO or friend if you like.

Enjoying some quality chill time these days. Just what we needed. Catching up on EVERYTHING, including a date night at Pirate’s Bight restaurant on Norman. 😘🤪👍🏻

A day with a bunch of first for us: winds from the west… in the BVI!?!?!? A first. And our first ever downwind sail from JVD to Norman Island…making 5-6 knots in a light breeze. Looking back, the Drake Lake is almost flat. So flat, I could enjoy a BLT at the helm, and nothing flew into the sea. All capped off by a nice sunset, bow to the west. So weird. Living on vacation in paradise. 👍🏻

She rolled in with the morning mist, which dissipated as quickly as it arrived. Stad Amsterdam graced us with her presence thru the evening. The next morning was a glorious one at Jost. The wind abated, allowing for a reflective pool of absolute beauty. (30 feet deep and you can see our tender’s shadow on the bottom!) In a weird twist, the wind started blowing out of the west!!!!….so we moved around to Little Jost, and enjoyed a spectacular moon rise over Tortola. It’s the only time I recall our cockpit facing east!

Shameless Brag: My incredibly talented Pirate Wife Kathy snagged a rotisserie chicken while provisioning yesterday at RiteWay, so naturally, we deboned it and made chicken piccata for dinner. YUM!!!! Today we’re at Jost Van D**e, and she’s tutoring the son of one of our many island friends. He was falling behind in math and mom was concerned. Kathy to the rescue. What a GEM!!!

First: FACEBOOK SUCKS! Conclusion…just enjoy paradise. Our Arkansas friends wrapped up a day on JVD with a toast to the legend himself, under a Razorback banner no less. The next morning we zipped over to Norman Island, passing by Kathy’s fave island house (east end of St John). There was snorkeling, and fun at the W***y T (no pics), and more snorkeling at the Indians. But all good things come to an end. Back in the marina for the final night allowed for one last group pic before dinner (and a photo bomb too…we LOVE our island friends). The next morning, we all hugged and waved goodbye, as they piled into CJ’s van for the 15 minute taxi ride to the ferry, bound for St Thomas. “It’s not goodbye, but till we see you again!” 🏝❤️

A day on Jost is unlike any other day in the BVI. There’s hiking and snorkeling no doubt. But the people of this island make it a truly special place. Oh, and what does one say about White Bay? Now that’s a question to ponder!

27/02/2023

Another set of friends from Arkansas have escaped the cold and joined us on Quite the Catch for 8 days of sailing fun through the BVI. Epic fun repeated! We got to celebrate one couple’s 23rd wedding anniversary at Coco Maya.

20/02/2023

And that’s a wrap! After a delicious Valentines dinner at Indigo Beach House (chech out that view), we were off to Jost Van D**e and a day in the sun on the beach at White Bay. The fun meter pegged-out again (and virtually no one stopped to take a pic!). we rounded out the cruise with a bit of snorkeling at Norman Island, and a final dinner on board., before bouncing back to the marina. The next day, we were all up EARLY for our friends to start a long travel day back to Arkansas. Adios friends…till we see you again.

From the Super Bowl, and a great win by the Chiefs, to a super day on Anegada! Walk down the beach to Tipsy’s? OF COURSE! Spectacular sunsets and sunrises? YES!! Lobsta dinner? YUMMMMMM! We had to say goodbye goodbye to Anegada the next morning, but had a great day of sailing (and sunning) on our way to CGB for delicious Valentine’s Dinner at Indigo Beach House, and yet another great sunset. Paradise!

12/02/2023

More friends from the Natural State have joined us in paradise for a week of fun in the sun. So far, lots of snorkeling, good food, tasty beverages and sight seeing. Nice to be in the BVI with so many other American Patriots, watching the Super Bowl at Saba Rock. Cheers my friends!

Just past full moon…between two palm trees, and a K**b Creek 120 proof store pick and a Widerness Trail 110 store pick. Heaven in the tropics! So tasty in so many ways!

Wrapping up another epic cruise: when the fun doesn’t end, it’s hard to find time to share the moments from Cane Garden Bay, Jost Van D**e and White Bay, Norman Island and Benures Bay. More in captions… till next time Mermaids!! Stay Salty!!

01/02/2023

Our 501 Ladies “enjoyed” quite the experience sailing up to Anegada, beating into a howling NE wind…let’s just say it was SPORTY! But that is ok, arrival rewards like grilled lobster, fruit and petite vanilla scones from chef Kathy, and a fun day exploring the island make it all worth it. And those sunrises and sunsets…More fun, and more pics to come.

29/01/2023

Friends from the 501 have arrived in the BVI, and brought a fresh to moderate breeze with them. Sadly, no one’s having a good time. 🤪 Cooper Island Beach Club sunsets rock. Fun sail up to the North Sound found us racing a power yacht. We didn’t win 🤣 but we won on the fun meter!

24/01/2023

Don’t let that innocent smile fool you...she’s just taking a break during our two-day Farkle Tournament, where Kathy was a 1 seed, and me… like a 16 seed. She let me stay close, tied at the end of round 1. But like a thoroughbred, she ran away with it in round two. (probably all that fresh sunshine!) Let’s just say it was a historic BEAT DOWN! Here’s your trophy sweetie! 🏆🏆🏆 you deserve much more. My consolation prize was a nice sunset, and a great dinner.
