On 4.19.23, we headed to the other side of Tortola to Nanny Cay marina. This is where our adventure started three years ago. So, we are familiar with the property. We pulled into the marina and were placed on the T-head, which we always like. It makes it easy for us to tie up the boat.
Cleaning started in earnest and Steve has been working on things like taking the sails down. We had the boat surveyed because our insurance required it. We have had to replenish some of our safety gear, like flares. Other than that, the boat is in good shape and everything works as expected. The surveyor will return to the boat once we haul it out, so that he can check the part of the boat that lies underwater.
As I was walking around, I noticed a boat called “Cadence.” It turns out that the owners were the ones who were quarantined next to us in 2020. They have been enjoying their time on their new boat as well. In the boatyard I also met a couple from Moultonboro, NH, the town next to Meredith. Their boat’s name is “Three Quarter’s Time.” It is fun to meet people in the marina.
It has been hot in the afternoons here in the BVI’s. Most afternoons we have resorted to turning the air conditioning on. Unfortunately, last night a bunch of sargassum floated under our boat. It stinks. Unfortunately, Steve doesn’t think that we should turn the air conditioning on with it being so thick under the boat. So, instead, we are sitting in the Nanny Cay lobby, using their internet. For some reason, the internet throughout the property is not very strong and we can’t get a signal on our boat, unfortunately.
