Saturday, December 1
Saturday morning was a beautiful day and everyone was anxious to get in the water. Gene took the group on a dingy ride to a recommended snorkeling spot where there was a beautiful coral reef with tons of fish and a conch farm.
Later that afternoon, we sailed to The Baths which are the giant granite rock formations on Virgin Gorda. The group had a great time hiking through the “caves” to Devil's Bay. The Caves trail is ~ 20 minute trek through tidal pools and the huge granite boulders with lots of narrow passageways and awesome view points through the granite boulders.
After an exhilarating swim back to the dingy (amidst some huge waves that were crashing onto the beach) and enjoying watching some of the other tourists trying to get back into their dingy with some serious trouble, we sailed to Spanish Town where we anchored for the evening. This was the second time Gene and Kat had anchored in this particular anchorage, and this time was much more enjoyable than the first! The first time was in early 2011 when we chartered a catamaran for a week in the BVI. The anchor wasn't very trustworthy on that charter boat, so we had a very sleepless night.
