Well, we are home after one of the best vacations we have every had. Wait...can you have a vacation if you don't have a job from which to vacate? Hmmm. That deserves some thought, but another time.
I should point out that this series of blog posts were done exclusively with my iPhone. That is a testament to how technology has progressed with gadgets, but also explains how some photos and text might be better. Sorry, but lugging a laptop through the BVI did not seem to be the way to go, and it worked reasonably well.
I need to take a moment to say that the BVI are a very welcoming group of islands. The people are great, the service in every establishment we visited was very good, and the food at every restaurant was very good. Aside from the two boys stealing our dinghy in Cane Gardens Harbour, it was a wonderful experience. The boys were joyriding and brought the dinghy back, thankfully.
Our greatest thanks goes to those we sailed with for being such good boat mates, and to Malcolm Read and his wife Julie for organizing the event. We presented Malcolm with a conch horn from the Bahamas and told him of the Florida Keys and Bahamian cruisers tradition of saluting the sunset with a conch horn. He embraced the tradition and we closed each day with a hardy salute. Malcolm got so good that towards the end of the week he was holding a note longer than anyone I have heard before.
So, let me close this particular series of posts with Malcolm's first salute!
