The perfect finish

An adventure ends, but another one is starting for Tilly Mint - in a few days she will leave the Caribbean to sail back to the Mediterranean with a new crew. After over two and a half years on board, Bill and I are taking a well deserved holiday, leaving Tilly Mint in good hands with our long time friends and highly qualified crew Arwyn and Andrew. Our last week on board couldn't have been better, with all four crew, the owner and his wife racing Tilly Mint for Antigua Sailing Week. A great time was had by all, and many emotional goodbyes were said. The crew is now working on getting the boat ready for her sixth Atlantic crossing. Fair winds and following seas to Tilly Mint and her crew, we sure will miss you!

When we picked up our charter guests in Virgin Gorda a few weeks ago, we were not entirely sure we would be able to meet all of their expectations for the trip. They were going to be on board for 10 days and had already sailed the BVIs extensively, and one of their requests was to discover new anchorages every night, if possible stunningly beautiful and deserted. It didn't sound easy, but it sounded like a challenge and we happily took it on. So we ventured in unknown (if not uncharted) territory, with crew on the bow looking out for coral heads as we carefully picked our way through reefs protecting perfect turquoise water, spending hours looking for new bays on the charts, and sailing up and down the channel trying to spot an empty cove. We spent 7 nights out of 10 in anchorages that were new to both the crew and the guests, and we all fell in love with one or two of those secluded bays. We won't reveal all of our secrets, but here are a few pictures taken during the charte...
