BVI 2020 Day 10 Trellis Bay

The diesel coffee maker didn't start until around 8:30am, as most of us didn't get much sleep with the music going on on shore

We left the ball just before 10am.

Wind were 10-12 knots from the southeast, full main and jib.

Yellow circles are where we hoisted/dropped the main.

Trip Odometer: 11.2 miles
Moving Average: 5.1 knots
Max Speed: 8.9 knots
Moving Time: 02:12:00

Nice relaxed sail on a close reach most of the way.
We really had to pinch up to clear Guana Island.
Shortly after we cleared the point it was time to drop the sails and motor into the channel to Trellis Bay

We took a ball at 12:48pm and had lunch.
Some of us went for a swim.

All of us loaded into the dinghy and headed to shore.

Trellis Bay is right near the airport, and boasts the best Full Moon parties around.

The full moon was last week.

They have these metal firepits on the beach:

Would be kewl to make something like this for home!

Trellis Bay is where Michael Beans kept his boat during the 2017 hurricane IRMA.
The story goes that the boat was driven on shore and written off.
However, Michael couldn't get on the island for months and his insurance policy said that he had to make a claim within 30 day of the incident, so no insurance.  BASTARDS
He purchased another boat that was in not bad shape, and had to hire excavators to dig a channel in the beach to re-float her.

Someone had fashioned some beach artwork out of sailboat steering wheels salvage from wreaks from the hurricane:

Not much was opened there, as they were still re-building:

We had some drinks at the restaurant:

...and picked up a couple bottles of wine in the store.

Another BVI tradition for Rita and I: getting our picture taken in the fishnet trampoline on the beach.

Here you can see the Canadian Flag on Firebolt from the dinghy dock:
