BVI Vacation | The sailing season for Sailwithterry has started off with a bang!!

A wonderful  family from California  joined us on Mañana Maybe in time for an unforgettable New years celebration.    We were all invited to a party in the home of one of the residents on the island of Great Camono.

New Years Eve day we sailed to  Marina Cay and  easily picked up a mooring .  Cocktails at sunset and then a short boat ride to a private dock.   We then  boarded a  truck with benches and proceeded to go up and up and around a mountain on a one lane road.  At the   top we entered the home of our hosts and were speechless at the 360 degree views.

The party was  attended by guests from all over the  world, including a renowned harp player, a couple that had sailed around the world, and a lovely lady that was a fly fishing guide in the islands.  Just prior to midnight we gathered on the terrace for champagne , the count down and a beautiful view of the water, islands, and fireworks below .

A sleepy, happy group rode back to Manana Maybe and all agreed this was the most  awesome and memorable  evening ever.  Welcome 2010!

The remainder  of the trip was filled with great sailing winds, some still days where the water was like glass which made for extra clear  and colorful snorkeling,  an anchorage at Leverick Bay  for shopping, happy hour , a pig barbecue and live entertainment.  The next day we taxied to the Baths, a huge cave created by volcanic boulders.

The Baths are a must see in the BVI, even saw Kelly Ripa (Regis and Kelly fame) and her family.
