SERENDIPIDY

Oftentimes a picture says a thousand times more than words-magical blue skies, sleepy exited happy faces having breakfast in a mild breeze outside in the local marina breakfast coffeeshop.

After a full English/caribbean breakfast with all we could want and need at a local coffeeshop at Sopers Home, our preparation for setting sail was set in Motion. Delivery from rite way market directly to «Double trouble» in the marina of Sopers Hole- enough to keep us hydrated for the first leg of the trip- the boys really worried that we wouldnt have room for any food! The ladies went to the local market to stock up on food and snacks for the next 3-4 days and a couple of gallons of sunscreen.

In plain view of the guests of Omars fusion restaurant the 4 adults with Erik at the ships wheel maneuvered our 41ft large cat out of the harbour with great elegance avoiding all the multibillion vessels located all around us and then we headed directly to Cane Garden Bay(West Tortola)to pick up our first Mooring for the first time out at sea.

We «stole» someone elses mooring, a «boatyball», found the perfect spot, but with smiles, apologies for not understanding the caribbean mooring-game and a couple of dollars extra we got to stay on the boaty boat mooring and stayed for a couple of nights. Perfect beach, braids&pearls in all the kids hairs and amazing seafood at the local beach restaurant «paradise Club lounge bar&restaurant» where we had our first caribbean fish tacos!- SERENDIPIDY!
