| "The Baths" on Virgin Gorda |
As long as I have known Steele (and that's been 37 years) his biggest dream has been to sail around the Virgin Islands. It was number one on his "bucket list." I, on the other hand, was not as enthusiastic about the idea...I envisioned something along the lines of Gilligan's Island...never coming back from a "3 hour tour!" But I wasn't worried because the odds of taking a trip like that were virtually "nill". Imagine my surprise when our good friends Steve and Tina bought a 50 foot sailboat and invited us to join them for a week...sailing around the British Virgin Islands! Steele's dream come true...my nightmare just beginning. I know I'm crazy, in everyone else's world it is a dream come true, but I was really nervous! But I took a giant leap of faith and in April we joined 6 of our dear friends and sailed around the BVI. I'm so glad we went...it was an amazing trip! We saw some beautiful sights and enjoyed the company of some very special people. Thanks Steve and Tina!
