Virgin Islands 2017

I'm just going to let Babçia tell you about our trip...... over here.
After all, the pictures are all hers since my camera died after taking 5 shots on the 1st day.

Rock-A-Bye Baby Cruise '09

Ahoy Mateys!

Maya's maiden voyage aboard "Exit Strategy" was a complete success. We cruised the Virgin Islands for a week with Grandpa and Babçia on their 46’ sailboat.

Our itinerary included stops on Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Guana Island, St. John, Jost Van Dyke, and Norman Island. Yes, it was a busy week, but we did fit in lots of snorkeling, beach time, swimming, and some relaxing!

Maya was on her best behavior throughout the adventure. Her favorite feature was the dinghy and zipping her life vest in preparation for boarding it. She jumped in the BIG Ocean and splashed on the beach… ran on the deck with Babçia and spotted turtles floating along side us… helped winch the sails and rub on the sunblock… The cruise lived up to its name and Maya slept like a baby through gentle and rough seas. Can’t wait to do it again!

Trim the headsail, Matey!

Maybe if Maya wasn't laughing so much she could enjoy swimming better without the salty aftertaste. She did a lot of jumping, kicking and paddling.

Last night in the islands.

Aye, fancy restaurants are for landlubbers!
