Here is typical itinerary on where we go and what to expect….
DAY
1 (arrival)
Our adventure starts
from Roadtown,
Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.
We arrive on the island and board the 5 cabin, 5 bath/shower 53'
sailboat in the afternoon. We'll stow our gear, load our provisions,
and get the boat prepared for sailing. As evening approaches, we will
meet at dinner, thank the Lord, and pray for our safe and fulfilling
sailing adventure. As we get to know each other, we will discuss and
refine the upcoming sailing itinerary.
DAY
2
Up bright and early
for prayer, scripture reading, coffee and breakfast. We'll take care of
any last minute items, check the charts, and prepare to set sail for
Norman
Island (about 12 miles 2-3 hour sail). Once out of the harbor, we'll
raise all the sails, turn off the diesel, and experience a piece of
heaven. Take in the beautiful blue Caribbean and island landscape. See a
dolphin or two along the way. We will drop anchor in this scenic harbor,
which is known for its caves, snorkeling and exploring. We'll hop in our
outboard powered Dinghy and check things out. There is also a restaurant
on shore. Dinner, conversation, prayer...then Good Night.
NOTE...*Jesus
calls us to "spread the Gospel", and be a "light unto the world". As
Christians traveling together, we should always be ready, to share a
tract, or witness to other non believers. What better place than this.
There will be many other friendly people traveling to these same islands
that will be wondering what we're all about and would want to know more
about us. We will certainly use the opportunity to share the "Salvation"
and "Good News" of Jesus Christ.
DAY
3
Rise and shine,
prayer, scripture reading, coffee and breakfast. More snorkeling and
exploring, then we'll pull anchor and head to either
Peter Island, or
Cooper Island. Both have restaurants, with Peter Island more upscale,
and Cooper laid back. There is a dive wreck "the Rhone" about midway
between the islands that we can stop if we have some divers. Both
islands offer to satisfy the explorer in you. Time to kick back, rest,
read, swim, whatever, then dinner, conversation, maybe some singing for
the brave, prayer...then Good Night.
DAY
4
Up bright and early
for prayer, scripture reading, coffee and breakfast. We’ll want to pull
anchor early for our 15 mile trip to the "Baths" in Virgin Gorda. This
is a beautiful granite rock formation and scenic beach, for swimming,
snorkeling, and exploring. We'll anchor for the day, have lunch on the
beach, and later on pull into Spanish Town/Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor for
overnight. They have "land" showers (use as much water as you like)
stores, and a small town. Dinner, maybe a walk, see what’s happening on
the island, prayer, and then Good Night.
NOTE...*Jesus
calls us to "be generous to our poor brothers and sisters" and "kind to
the needy". If we see people who are in need (food, money, help, or
needs someone to talk with) we should be prepared to jump in and
consider our neighbor more. Although there are many people that travel
these islands, some of those living here are poor. As Christians we
should always be prepared to help. If we have an opportunity to organize
any outreach during our travel we will as a group.
DAY
5
Rise and shine,
prayer, scripture reading, coffee and breakfast. Do any last minute
shopping at the docks, than set sail for North Sound, on the tip of
Virgin Gorda. A beautiful anchorage with swimming, snorkeling, an
excellent beach, and you can rent jet skis. Today we'll do a lunch
barbecue on the boat, and shuttle back and forth from the beach on the
Dinghy. It offers some excellent restaurants on the water here. Dinner,
walking, relaxing, prayer and Good Night.
DAY
6
Up bright and early
for prayer, scripture reading, coffee and breakfast. We’ll want to get
an early start for our 22 mile trip to Anegada (about 4 hours). Anegada
is an atoll type island, like some you would find in the South Pacific.
We will have lunch while sailing, and expect to drop anchor sometime in
the afternoon. Anegada is known for their
Caribbean lobster,
so we’ll probable dine on the island, and explore its sights, then
prayer and maybe an early Good Night.
DAY
7
Rise and shine,
prayer, scripture reading, coffee and breakfast. We’ll pull anchor mid
morning and set sail for either Marina Cay,
Trellis Bay, Cane
Garden Bay, or Guana Island on Tortola (about 4-6 hour sail, depending
on wind direction). All these spots are beautiful anchorages, with great
swimming & snorkeling, and have beach restaurants available. Expect to
see more people around since we are around the main island of Tortola.
We’ll have dinner, some night activities, prayer then Good Night.
DAY
8/DAY 9
Rise and shine,
prayer, scripture reading, coffee and breakfast. Today we will either go
on to Jost Van Dyke, a short trip north, stay another night, and return
to Roadtown the following day to disembark, or go directly to Roadtown
to disembark today. It will depend on what dates we sail.
NOTE...*
wherever we are on Sunday, we will seek out a local church for worship &
praise.
God willing, it would
truly be a glorious, memorable, fulfilling week.
