It’s currently the 8th, and we are indeed leaving the BVIs today ⛵⛵⛵.

As we are writing this post we have already been sailing for an hour, and are currently still within internet range and the protection of the islands.

Come 10pm (6hour time) we should be out in the open ocean for the first time in quite a while.

Our day in Road Town was a success, and our marina time was well worth it.

We went out for a final on land dinner last night, that we also didn’t need to cook (lots of cooking coming up during the crossing), and got an early night.

The hunger had really set in, so we failed to get any picture of our main courses. But you can see the pizza that we also ordered, in preparation for having leftovers to take with us.

During the morning of the 8th we did 3 washing machines full of laundry in the marina, bought an additional 200USD of food including fresh veggies, stowed the dinghy, generally cleaned the boat up and put things away, filled out water tanks for the last time and downloaded as much entertainment as we could from the internet!

As 2pm approached we had a little dip in the marina pool, had our first and last on land showers for quite a while, paid up the marina fees and got the Hannah on the move!!!

Good bye to the BVIs, and helllow open ocean.

We will be blogging on the way with help from Ollie (who joined us in Antigua), so keep an eye out for posts in the coming weeks.

Remember, you can follow us using the various tracking links / maps at the top of this site (Predict wind and Garmin will be the best while crossing), and you can even send us messages there.
