Island hopping in BVI

 We have had some really great days Island hopping, snorkeling, enjoying beautiful sunsets, and of course the island tradition of happy hour with rum punches and painkillers.  Don't ask me what is in a painkiller, but the way they mix drinks here you only need one!
We have seen a great variety of fish snorkeling around.  The cutest is the hermit crabs who love to take ownership of old conch shells.  Eric brought one up to the boat for a visit.
 We also got some nice conch and with a little determination and help from some you tube videos, Eric and Jens got them out of the shell and made delicious conch salad.  A couple of the shells were given to Benitta and Antje and the rest were donated to the Hermit crabs.
We had a great day exploring the rocks at The Baths on Virgin Gourda.   Really interesting rock formations.

The cruise time between islands is usually under an hour. We just sit back and enjoy the scenery.
Antje is having a great time.  Luckily the seas have been very calm and the journey gap has been pleasant.
Tonight we will have a nice dinner at a restaurant.  I'm looking forward to a juicy steak with a nice baked potato.  I love fish, but we haven't had steak since Christmas... !!!
