Come exploring with us
After uploading the same image that I included in yesterday’s blog post to our Facebook page , I made the mistake of commenting on it that we were going to climb to the top of those hills. What I should have said is that we were going to try to climb to the top of them. Unfortunately, the terrain and the ocean swell conspired to make the task a bit too sketchy for us. We did make a valiant attempt though, as you can see in the video below. The following 4.5 minute clip was edited down from about an hour of footage. Now you can see what we go through to get those nice eagle-eye shots of the anchorages. 🙂
Ginger Island, BVIs
Rebecca just informed me that, as of today, we have been in the BVIs for 3 weeks. When we first checked in with customs and immigration, we were given one month to stay here. So, unless we organize an extension, it’ll soon be time to leave.

Heh, $6Million and the island is yours. You don’t need to be a Sir Richard to buy it but it helps.

In reality, that is not a lot of money for an island that big with that kind of location.
Hi Mike and Rebecca,
We have been enjoying your site. Gives me a daily “fix”. We cruise and work. Next year more, during the winter, that is .. Our boat is a Beneteau Oceanis 50 on the Hard at Tortola Marine Services. Across the street from the moorings. Her name is Lady J 111….
Hope to see you next winter..
Oh to recharge your stay, cross to the USVI and enjoy cruising there and then jump back if you wish. Easy extension..
Fred
Ps We are from Canada too, mid west Ontario. Although we have a son in Kingston at Queens..
Hi guys
Those Beneteau 50s are nice boats. We have been on a couple of them. We have two friends who are setting sail across the Pacific on one this week.
Oh Wow, across the Pacific…. Do they have a Blog? Would be nice to “sail” along with them as well.
I am looking into this Blog idea as it sure seems a way to be productive as you cruise, besides other activities..(apparently repairs?? LOL) We don’t think we can do the pole thing though on our hikes….as you two do…
Fred
Here you go:

With what appears to be such an amazing variety of islands and terrain in such close proximity, I imagine you will be seeking a visa extension so that you can explore more.
Mike
Maybe. There are also islands we have yet to visit between here and Grenada. The more time we spend here the less time we have for them.
I thought Ginger was a private island??
If it is the owners should make it a bit more easy to climb those rocks. :p
Seriously, the guidebooks don’t even mention the place and there is no signage saying to keep off.
Thanks for the great video into your day, made mine much more relaxing!
Glad you enjoyed it, Chris.
What a great video… and I loved the music!!
I suggest more time in the BVI. But then I would, wouldn’t I?
I don’t think I have ever been so envious of your life than I am tonight… it’s cold and pissing rain out and that is the forecast for the foreseeable future.
I hate it here.
Keep the faith, Sandra, Spring will be there soon.
