British Virgin Islands, Caribbean, 2011

Pirate Bright Bay...lunch stop just before swimming to the US! A REALLY hard day at the office! The Star Clipper. Messing around at lunchtime on Peter Island! Nothing like being a kid again! :) Leverick Bay... I loved these old sailing posters...reminiscent of the old days...

Swimming from the Baths to Spanish Town.


I found my dream house... Cooper Island - this is the most amazing little island. Gorgeous beach bar and private beach...a real Caribbean hideaway!






Picnic lunch after a swim one day...





Bitter End Bay Finishing a swim on Mosquito Island - one of the islands owned by Richard Branson! This spot is called The Bitter End... :) Saba Rock - a little restuarant on an island in the middle of the bay. Took this photo for the sea plane, which landed just next to us while we were swimming! Devil's Bay - the most unbelievable water! The Baths and Devil's Bay The local taxis - called Safari's. Pond Bay Leverick Bay, Virgin Gorda - this is the view from our apartment balcony! Mosquito Island - one of the islands Richard Branson owns!


On the ferry from Beef Island, Tortola to Virgin Gorda!


Beef Island, Tortola. This island was used as the influence of the island called Tortuga in the Pirates of the Caribbean! I didn't see any pirates, but it definitely had a typical palam-fronded island feel to it! :)



This little ray swam with me as I walked along the shoreline in the morning.


I stayed on a guest house right on the beach with the water lapping at my door!
