We set off this morning, leaving Anegada for the more centrally located BVIs. We had a GREAT trip - the perfect point of sail and steady, brisk wind. Since we were in open water, we had to deal with some swells but "Tootsie" prevailed.
Our plan for this trip was to reach our night anchorages earlier in the day, so we could have more time to experience these different locations. "Tootsie" has been a good boat to achieve that goal. She is much faster than "Journey's End," the 37' Island Packet we chartered last fall. Our top speed on JE was probably only 5 knots over water. "Tootsie" brought us to Trellis Bay today in sustained speeds of 7 1/2 knots.
Trellis Bay seems to attract hippies of all ages. It's also the spot of the monthly full moon party, and very popular with the charter crowd. Too bad we didn't time it right - we've only seen a little sliver of moon for the past few days. But it's been great for star-gazing. I think we spotted the Southern Cross in the sky last night. Quite extraordinary!
