    Day 1 - Cooper Island

    Jan 13–14, 2024 in British Virgin Islands ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    Arrived at Cooper Island, a little after 15:30. Luckily we found an FC ball available right in front of the rocks to the left of the main beach area. Which made it easily accessible to snorkel from the boat.

    Saw a lot of Tarpon, a Barracuda and some rays.

    Lori, Jeff, Asia and Blake, went of with Sail Caribbean Divers for a two tank scrub session. First on the HMS Rhone and then to ref, where the saw sharks, rays and plenty of stunning fish and various types of coral.

    We left Cooper Island for Virgin Gorda, Blunder bay, via a sail past the Baths for a brief look. Sailed on up to the North Sound and took a slip at Blunder bay. From there we dinghy'd to Leverick bay where we started the hike up to Gorda peak.

    Asia, Blake and I went on to the peak while the rest of the group turned of at the junction to Hog Heaven. Once we had enjoyed the amazing views from the peak, including that of Anegada, we dropped down to Hog Heaven and joined the others again for a wonderful barbeque lunch.

    Lunch was late enough to cover dinner as well.
