Chronicles of a Sailing Yacht Charter Week in the BVI’s: Day 7

October 26, 2009/by Grant Headifen

Thursday 1st October Savannah Bay BVI: There is nothing like a swim ashore and a morning run on a white sandy beach and that is exactly what I did on Thursday morning. We’d anchored in about 15 ft of water which meant the boat was about 200 meters from shore which made for a nice […]

October 17, 2009/by Grant Headifen

Wednesday 30th September 2009 Bath time on a catamaran is pretty easy and fun for the little one. The catamaran galley is so big that there is plenty of room and the sinks are big. Consequently, Alexandra loved this time of day. The crew set out in the dinghy to explore the rocky coastline and […]

October 9, 2009/by Grant Headifen

Sunday September 27th 2009 Having a 1 year old on board is a total enjoyment but it takes some extra thoughts. Fortunately, we’d prepared for her sleeping arrangements. We’d selected the Leopard Catamaran based on the forepeak in each hull for Alexandra to sleep. Then we bought a cargo net and some clamps from home […]

October 8, 2009/by Grant Headifen

Saturday September 26th 2009 Catching the ferry from Charlotte Amarlie was easy the next morning. The ferry terminal is about 15 minutes away from the Marriot. We took the “Fast Ferry” which motored us at about 15 -20 knots to Road Town. The trip was about 1.5 hours. We cleared BVI Customs in Road Town […]
