Location: Cane Garden Bay
After nine full days at sea and a brief trip to a small sandy strip, Vela set course to Cane Garden bay today. The long-awaited trip to shore and high spirits to set foot on soil were met with a grueling hike to the highest point in the BVI. The crew of the Vela trekked up Mount Sage as a group. No one was left behind, and each crewmate looked after each other until we finally reached the summit. We were not just met with a gorgeous view but a pull to create a family on the vessel. Our descent from the hike was met by delicious banana smoothies and some long-awaited free time at port. Before the day came to a close, the crew convened for dinner at a restaurant where we had our first cold drinks since the trip began. We enjoyed the night and sat along the beach as a united vessel.
