BVI: Day Seven

HUGE sail to Cooper island. Heeled over. Sandwiches. Rest of the rum. I wore a shirt all day and felt better.

None of the naked people I've seen have been worth seeing naked. All have presented a disappointing stew of flappy, leathery, and sunburnt.

I'm starting to miss my bed but mostly the girl who is usually in it.

BVI: Day Six

We made the long southwest run downwind to Cane Garden Bay and I spent most of the time with two shirts on down below with my iPad, determined not to have a repeat of the day before. I played World of Goo instead of swimming at Sandy Cay and felt like my roommate in Australia who spent the semester in our room studying Magic: The Gathering. Blew.

When the sun started to go down I gave it the finger and showed it my ass. The sun was ashamed and I was determined to spend the next day above decks sailin' my white hiney off.

Ashore, I found a whole house painted pink. It was excellent.

BVI: Day Five

With the engine being flakey and almost no wind for what would have been a nice run to Cane Garden Bay, we opted to head back to Marina Cay after a short stop at Norman Island. Norman is one of my favorites since a little hidden passage on the beach leads to a nook where small rocks have been tumbling up against the surf for centuries until smooth and round. I carried a few back to the boat in my shorts.

Three hours in the direct sun gave me a monstrous rash on my front and back and I spent most of the evening and night writhing is a unique kind of pain, like itching needles. Such a pussy.

Renie was a darling and kept a steadily flow of ice over my torso until we picked up a mooring in Marina Cay. I drank most of the rum to keep from screaming. Not so fun.

A man named Gun came to fix the engine and tell us that his name was Gun. His name was Gun. He did not fix the engine.

BVI: Day Four

A somewhat overcast day that we spent ashore at the Bitter End. Hiking around the island was a highlight. There were many animals, most of which I petted.

There was also a sunset of radness.

BVI: Day Three

Another day of sailing and an early mooring grab at Leverick Bay. We met a lady who had 16 grandchildren and gave us cheap drinks. Woot.
