BVI 2020 Day 07 Little Harbour Peter Island

We were awoken to the familiar sound of the diesel electric coffee maker at 07:30.

Rita and I made a grilled cheese breakfast.

Today we were going to stay put in this bay.

Here is an interesting history of Peter Island and Little Harbour:

Peter Island British Virgin Islands

By 09:00 everyone was in the water for swim or a snorkle.
Saw some turtles munching on the seagrass on the sandy bottom.
We took turns going out on the paddle boards in the protected bay.


You can see how protected this harbour is:

That is Toad Town Tortola in the background
That blue hulled 100ft superyacht we saw off Virgin Gorda yesterday was anchored in the bay with us.


Judy did some Googling:

I would expect a 104ft charter for $62k USD a week to include an inflatable flamingo.
The crew was towing guests with the tender around the harbour!


We watched them go out for a sail and come back in a couple of hours later.


They left the flamingo and their stern lines attached to the shore.

Around 13:00, a couple of large catamarans hoisted anchors and left, so we moved Firebolt over to the south shore.  Hans and I loaded up the 2ndary anchor and rode into the dingy and deployed it on shore



Great place to anchor

Just look at the colour of the water!
There were several goats roaming the shore.

Lunch was lobster mac & cheese, bean salad, and coleslaw that we prepared.

The rest of the afternoon and night was pretty chill (repeat of above).
