Virgin Islands, January 30 to February 7, 2015
Our first full day in the Virgin Islands started with a
couple dives with Red Hook Dive Center.
Then it was grab some lunch and a beer, collect our belongings and head for the boat. Our home for most of our week was Weatherbird, a Dufour Gib’Sea 43 (43 feet). Our instructor and skipper was Molly Winkelman.
