Update from a Solo in Paradise

Actually Paradise is what BVI calls itself on their licence plates but I really think that it is a false claim compared to most of the other Caribbean islands we have visited.

Anyway, thought I would update my days here although they are not much different from the last blog I wrote. I am going to try to put in some pictures this time though.

So what do I do with my time - well, I work on the boat on the inside

- and I work on the boat on the outside

- and I take walks up very steep hills (this picture is looking back down but of course since I always start from sea level, I had to walk up to get there.

- I look at the views from the tops of the hills I walk up - this is Trellis Bay and the airport on Beef Island. I walk to Trellis Bay quite a bit. About 55 minutes there and 60 minutes back (I am hot and tired then)
- I look at other views from the tops of the hills I walk up - this is East End Bay or Fat Hog Bay, depending on where you are looking. You can see Mystic Journey down there right behind a power boat

- sometimes on my walks I find hidden and Secret Gardens. I found Josiah's Bay quite by accident after walking for about 90 minutes and turning down an unmarked road.

- as you can see it appears to be a good spot to surf.

Meanwhile, on my way back to the boat I thought I had better take a picture of the last anchorage we will ever have dropped the hook for Mystic Journey. I really shouldn't ever say it is the last anything because who knows what may happen. After all, a few years back I probably would have said the last place you can ever expect to see me is sailing on a 49 ft yacht in the Caribbean with my soulmate.

Finally, although I really love being in the sun and on the water and being warm, as I said before, it is not the same at all when I am not with my life partner. The bags you see below have been packed and in the fore cabin since the middle of January. In a hurry Griff?????
