Location: North Sound, BVI
I awoke for our passage watch too much excitement. While watch team two was at the helm, a brown boobie, obviously exhausted, landed on the bowsprit. Their enthusiasm instilled some kind of positive energy in me that set the mood for my day. We continued on our passage; nothing extraordinary happened unless you count the amazing view of the horizon and the sunrise, which I most definitely do. We pulled into a bay near the baths (I’m unsure of the name), near where our trip began. The view brought back memories of a much less experienced group of mariners. We passed through the tedious customs process, completed our last provisioning expedition, and did a brief boat appreciation, but that was only the tip of the fun iceberg. After we were done with the chores, we set out for the baths. At first, I thought these were actual baths, but in fact, they were not (in fact, they are very famous here in the BVIs, large rocks pushed ashore by volcanic activity). It was a spectacular place to explore. Large rocks to climb/jump off of, small underwater swim-throughs, a hollowed-out rock/secret (but not so secret) cavern. All in all a fantastic day, filled with exploration, memories, and just all-around good feelings
