Today we went to a place called The Baths. This place is really lovely. Its like, big rocks creating nice cool shaded caves with knee deep water. Its hard to describe, but if you have the means to visit, I highly recommend it. Its so choice. So anyway, we were walking to several beaches because they’re all linked up to this path, and the last beach was my favorite. The beach itself was kinda crummy but next to it was a plethora of large rocks to climb over. Ben and I did just that for hours. But throughout our adventure, there was this old lady that we’d bump into at in the most difficult climbing areas. We’d pass her, and minutes later we’d spot her way ahead of us. Ghost? Definitely not, but it was cool. So the rest of the day was pretty chill after that.

We wake up early, again, to man the boat by ourselves. This certainly is fun considering how we still aren’t 100% confident with what we’re doing so there were tons of yelling and screaming and sadness. But it was totally worth it. There’s nothing quite like island hopping by ourselves. Doing whatever we want, whenever we want, however we want. We docked in a very secluded bay so we can gaze at the night sky tonight. Well, I have to end this because we’re about to eat some delicious barbequed chickuuun!!!

We woke up early, again, just to get everything extra ready. I took a shower in this really nice shower room place thingy soon before we went out to eat a nice English breakfast. I was fed and cleansed and ready to boogie. This guy, Marc, came and captained our boat, just until we got used to it. That was fun, the boat sails nice and smooth. It?s also nice and big so you don?t feel cramped around everyone. Snorkeling was pretty cool, might I add. We finished the day with a meal and booze and it was nice.

After waking up mad early to catch the flight, we were on our way to the BVIs. After several hours of sitting on an airplane, barely being able to sleep, I went through every single Elliott Smith CD I owned just to get that out of my system. We then later landed on Tortola where we got our boat which is a lovely Privilege 445, 44ft catamaran. *Sensual moan* it’s nice. So later that day we pretty much got the boat ready with all our food and supplies. I later had my first Pain-killer which certainly killed my pain. A pain-killer by the way is a very strong, yet very nice, cocktail. I slept well that night.
