Last day on Anegada we spent the whole day at ABC (Anegada beach Club)with the children a good 5 hr continous poolswim, ginger beer on the rocks, carib with lime,ABCs famous BLLT(bacon lobster lettuce tomato) sandwich. ( this being after the morning SUP in the mangroves).


We managed to go by the food store Lil bits to stock up on what we needed just in time before they closed up and then headed over to the boat to Get all dressed up for our Anegada-good lobster dinner at The Wonky Dog. We ordered way more than we could eat but still we needed key lime pie and sticky toffee pudding for dessert, the whole evening was topped off with our own private beach disco with a DJ! The Double Trouble crew danced the evening away until the bitter end! The 8 of us stumbled into bed tummies full of lobster and feet knackered from dancing in the coral beach sand, humming the tune of YMCA.





Early leaving from Anegada after bananabread and blueberry muffin delivery from Barry the mooring-guy, and the Bay turtle came up close to the boat as though to greet us «farewell and safe travels»!

On the next leg we were headed to Diamond Cay located between little Jost van Dyke and Jost van dyke, a 4-5 hr sail. Most of our crew experienced a little seasickness, all happy as we finally reached Diamond Cay and hooked up to a mooring. Sailing into the bay you pass Green bay and the Sandy Spit on Starboard side, a tiny all-sand Island with a couple of palms, and you need to swim ashore to Get there. We knew we were running low on dinghy fuel, but turned out it was critically low, so 3 of us went for a hike the Road over the hills to the next bay- Little harbour- up and down immensely steep roads(where the cars were actually going backwards up the hills in order to Get up at all!), just to find that the fuelstation there was no longer in use….


With the caribbean sun burning away Erik ran to the next bay, another 6-7 km up similarly steep hills, and luckily the fuel- lady in Great harbour got him a taxi for the return to the private Dock where Mille and I were anxiously waiting.


With the dinghy all fuelled up we went into shore, to Foxys Taboo And took the hike over to the Bubbly pool, a cool and cooling experience for all of us.




The evening meal was taken in at Foxys taboo, and during the night the Floodgates opened so all the above head hatches in the cabins had to be sealed really quickly! Luckily we’ve learned the drill by now!(yes we have all slept in drenched bedding a couple of nights due to slow reactions on closing overhead hatches…).

Awakening to a new sunrise with clear skies, bookreading and coffee in a hammock on deck before a short boatride to Great harbor for fuelling at eriks newfound gasstation lady, waterfilling and grocery shopping at Rubys marketplace, here we could se Irmas damages up close with the villages church roof completely gone and window covers hanging crookedly. Christines bakery was expected to be a real treat, except they only accepted cash which we were low on so no fresh baked goods for us- not this time…At the main Foxys we hung our Norwegian flag with the boats name and all our names written on it- should any of our friends come by there some time, they can actually pick it up and bring it back for us, otherwise it’ll stay there till the end of time!
