Well, here we are in the British Virgin Islands on the island of Tortola at the Trade Winds base in Hodges Creek. We were here to assist on Saturday with the 3 departing catamaran charters. Chris and Ali on 'Turquoise Dreams' , Sean and Karen on 'Coral Dreams' and Danny and Lisa on 'Solitaire'. The 4th catamaran ;Cool Cat' went off to St Martin in the morning twilight of Tuesday on a logistics run, with Kev, the maintenance manager onboard. We are staying onboard Kev and his lovely Trinidadian wife Naila's boat instead of moving into a motel.
It has rained every day since we arrived but the temperature is a very friendly high 70s in the day and low 70s at night, so all is comfortable.
We are off on another very early flight on Saturday to Bequia, via Barbados and St Vincent. As soon as we arrive we are off on our final training charter with Rob and Elaine (owners of Rjinstrom, the barge in Island Harbour) to see how they do it. The week after that it seems that we get to take over 'Camille' and operate out of Bequia until further notice. The by word for Trade Winds is 'remain flexible' so we will see what happens.................................. |
