Here I had arranged to meet with Capt Egbert to take us to Virgin Gorda and the Baths. 10 of our new friends asked to join us for the day so we had a full boat. After a 40 minute speed boat ride past many of the smaller islands we landed at SpanishTown VG,BVI. and took an open ait jitney with Maxwell to the Baths. This is a BVI National Park. A beach out of a magazine. Down 150 steps passing iguanas and bougainvilleas to a white powder sanded beach with aqua clear warm water. The distinction here is the large number of immense boulders up to 2 stories high. There is a trail through them where you are aided by ropes and steps which leads to Devil's Bay equally as beguiling. I must say it was breathtaking. we found shade trees and sat together and thought how fortunate we all were. Most of the 50 or so other visitors were from the yachts moored off the beach. they just added to the scenery.
On the way back, as we exited the jitney and prepared to walk back to the speedboat I heard someone calling me from across the lot. Unbelievably it was Mal and Bonnie O'Connor- neighbors from home. Just off a dive boat they just happened to be there the same minute we were and if either of us was delayed just a minute.... Just one of those coincidences in life that make you shake your head.
