After 3 days of rain, the weather finally broke and we headed out early to Jost Van Dyke. It\u2019s about 28 miles, all downwind. And after all the storminess, a 4 foot swell pushing us all the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made good speed under just the main. Stopped at Monkey Point for a quick lunch and arrived in Great Harbor just before 4pm. We had a reserved mooring ball which made a late arrival a non-event. Headed to shore for ice, a walk and some shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even 3 years later, there are signs of Hurricane Irma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our only purchase at the grocery was a $2 lighter. We still had two ribeyes in the refrigerator and they were about out of time. 20 minutes of futzing, 3 tries at a wind block and success! The coals were hot, the steak was cooked and we feasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday morning we took the dinghy into town for Christina\u2019s fresh banana bread, then got out the paddle boards and took a spin around the bay. Mid-day, we walked up and over the hill to White Bay for lunch. It\u2019s a beautiful stretch of beach with 1\/2 dozen beach bars – lots of fun.

Back to the boat for washing up, blog writing and it\u2019s off to dinner at The Tipsy Shark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
