Up the Hill

Friday 1^st December 2017

I’ve been planning to walk up the road to the ridge for many days now, but it’s steep, really steep. Dave ran up there one morning but he eats iron bars for breakfast and crushes rocks between his fingers … and even he confessed to having to walk some of it! But yesterday afternoon I ran out of excuses and set off in the mid-afternoon heat. It took me about an hour to get to the top and it was well worth it. There were great views to the north and south. It was interesting to walk past the houses built on to the slopes, with their fantastic views over the ocean and islands. I managed get back down in time for a quick shower and then dinner and drinks at the local seaside bar with some of the people from the rally who recently returned from short cruises around the BVIs. It was a fun evening.

Sea Cow Bay - just to the east of Nanny Cay

This is Ben - a friendly guy who runs a yacht repair and detailing business and I photographed him at the marina in Sea Cow Bay. A couple of day later I bumped into him again and his wife at the supermarket in Road Town ... getting to know the locals!
