Day 8, A Short Ride Back to Civilization
The next morning was to be the last on the boats. After
some preparation and tidying-up, it was a short ride back
to base in Road Town. Once at the docks, the check-in
procedure went quickly. Most of the day was left to
explore the city.
One Last Night and So Long
Since this was the Christmas season, decorations were
everywhere. Those who stayed near the downtown area
got to see the Governor of the British Virgin Islands
ceremonially light the city’s Christmas tree. After a
relaxing night in a hotel room, everybody boarded flights
back to the states.
In Conclusion …
In addition to being an excellent introduction to
bareboating and sailing the BVIs, this flotilla also
provided the opportunity to practice sailing skills.
Everyone gets to handle the boats, navigate and
experience living aboard. These skills can be applied to
any cruising area and will give skippers the confidence to
cast off the lines and sail into the sunset.
