Photos from the BVI's
British Virgin Islands
Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Marina Cay, Virgin Gorda, Coopers Island, Salt Island and Bomba Shack, all places that added to the amazing time we had throughout the BVI's. Starting in Road Town, Tortola (mainly to find a replacement inverter) we took the BVI's on straight away with a quick couple of tours of the small town. Once we had exauhsted all the Road Town had to offer we moved on to a little island call Jost Van Dyke. Prisine waters and the soggy dollar beach bar more or less made this place, consisting of incredibly busy days flooded with day charter boats.
From Jost Van Dyke we moved on to Virgin Gorda to visit the baths. Nothing in words can describe how amazing these kind of places are so there will be a number of pictures to follow.
From Virgin Gorda we headed for Salt Island where lay the much desired wreck dive of the RMS Rohne. We spent the afternoon after arrival with a quick dive on the bow of the boat with inent to finish it off the next day. We spent to entire following day diving on the wreck with our starting dive at about 75/80 ft. Once we had finished our diving we set sail for Tortola to attend the famous Bomba Shack Full Moon party. The Bomba shack is more or less made up of old spare tin and number plates with drift wood structure, all that can be said was it was an interesting 'cultural experience'.
I know this is a fairly bland explination of what we did but the photos are the best way to describe everything.

St. Martin
Hello Mawali Followers,
Apologies for the slowness in posting our current location but there will be a number of posts followed by this one to make up for lost time.
We recently left Antigua and set sail for a little place called St. Martin, a short and easy going sail. Once arriving in St. Martin we Anchored the boat in Marigot Harbour which was on the Dutch side of the island. St. Martin proved to be a very interesting place because it is the smallest amount of land that has 2 different nations (Dutch and French) as inhabitants. On arrival we decided we would sort out some local food and stopped at a place called Rosemary's. An interesting menu for tourists consisting of things such as Goat Curry, Ox Tail and Jamaican Jerk Chicken, So of course we got all of them (A little menu option for people that cant decide on what to have).
That night we decided to sort out some of the islands night life. We spent a lot of our time at an outdoor bar called Bliss, pumping with a fantastic vibe. Early the next day we did some kite boarding and explored some beautiful places of the island, especially a little place called 'Sunset beach bar' which was located at the landing end of the international airport. While sipping on a Pina Colada in the crystal clear waters you can watch the massive jets landing just a stone throw away over head.
Below are some pictures from St. Martin.
