In our last blog, we mention that we decided to head back to the Moorings base the night before we had to return the boat. Our crew had a simple continental breakfast while we enjoyed the serenity of our anchorage.
After breakfast, the garbage and ice boat came along. It is so cool that you can get ice AND get rid of your garbage so easily!
Since we had the boat for the entire day, we decided to cruise a bit and perhaps get in some snorkeling.
We left Norman Island around 10am and headed to Treasure Point.
Once we got out of the bay, we realized the weather was getting rough.
Exploring the British Virgin Islands
Since the weather looked too rough to snorkel at Treasure Point, we headed to the Indians. Once we arrived, we realized there was no way we were going to go snorkeling as the weather was getting worse.
We were surprised that so many boats were moored there and wondered if they were actually snorkeling.
Before heading back to the Moorings base, we headed towards Salt Island for a nice cruise. About five minutes into our cruise, we ran into a major squall!
Returning to the Moorings Base
After battling with squalls for a few hours, we decided to head back to the Moorings base. The Moorings base recommends that you call the base to have a captain come meet you and hop on board to stern dock the boat.
Be sure to watch our YouTube video (link below) to see how easy the process worked. The Moorings give you a check-out sheet, making the process easy.
The Moorings base recommends that you leave behind any provisions for the staff, instead of throwing it out. We did throw out items that were spoiled. After we each took long showers and cleaned up, we headed to Soper’s Hole for a wonderful dinner.
Returning to the base was the best decision we made. The following morning, we were relaxed and not rushed trying to get to the ferry. Tune in next week, as we head to St. John to explore the USVI.
