Virgin Gorda, still

November 22...Well, today is another day. Anchor locker cleaned out, more cleaning down below, the forward cabin ready for company, forward head still needs work. tomorrow is a day off. Renting a car to tour the island, get in some provisions, take heavy bags to boat. We both need a rest. Looking forward to getting out on the water by Tuesday.
November 23...Rented a car yesterday, drove to Leverick Bay, stopped at Savannah Bay, had lunch at Copper Mines, gorgeous vistas, then picked up some provisions with the rest of the island folk...Black Friday specials at 35 per cent off and Peter waiting patiently in line to get his paint thinner. Unbelievable!! Took luggage over to boat while we had the car. It took all day and did not even get everything done.

November 29...Mistress went into the water without mishap. Spent a couple of days at the Yacht Harbour finishing up repairs and then motored to Leverick Bay.  Encountered a squall but arrived safely.  Spent first evening out on the water moored to a pin.

November 30...Leaving shortly for Anegada.
Unable to load videos of the launch.  Too bad as I have some good ones.  The only picture is this one where they move the boat with the self propelled trailer.  The travel lift videos are not available to load.
