After e-mailing and using Skype calls with Richard Vass he arranged for us to get a temporary dock space at Mooring since most of their fleet has finally left on charter we motored down to Road Town and took the T-dock (which we shouldn’t have, but they let us anyway) and proceeded to look at several Catamarans. It was hot and windless so the water we brought along didn’t last very long. We also went aboard a brand new Moorings 384 Cat that had just arrived from South Africa and I must admit that I was quite impressed with the amount of space in the boat and how it was laid out; I can envision myself going over to the “dark side” some day. After the visits and subsequent lunch we planned on going to Great Harbour on Peter Island but by the time we got close it was obvious that quite a few other boats had come to the same decision. Assuming (correctly, as it turned out) that Cooper would be the same we motor sailed to the North Sound and Carmen and Bernd got their first night trip with entry to the channel and subsequent anchoring in the dark off Prickly Pear. Once again Carmen made some fantastic bread and we grilled awesome steaks and lamb that they’d procured at Riteway while I had gone off to the chandlery.
