BVI 2022

After a memorable sailing trip to the British Virgin Islands in 2019, the guys in the family decided to organize another voyage after high school graduation in 2022.  It was somewhat of a miracle that everyone's schedules coordinated and that Covid eased for the trip.  Here's a look at the pictures from the week long BVI sailing trip.

I have to admit I was very jealous when Find My Phone pulls up an image like this.  The crystal blue waters are so beautiful.  With Grace in Pittsburgh and the guys in the Caribbean, I was alone with Albie for the week.  It was VERY quiet at the house and gave me a sneak peek at life at home in the fall!

Michael and Jack had a direct flight to San Juan and then a small plane over to Tortola.  After flight delays and weather led them to stay a night in Miami on the last trip in 2019, I was determined to get a travel plan for them with fewer connections.  We were thankful that they didn't have any issues with the flights this time around.

They spent the first night on the boat in the dock and enjoyed a dinner at the Moorings.

Ironically, they were on the exact same boat as in 2019.

Kristy had a great idea for Jack and Reed to bring their college flags to display on the boat.

And they're off!

Michael and Jack both got new swimsuits from Sam's Club before the trip.  They are really nice because they have "bike shorts" underneath and such fun prints.

Already looking so relaxed!

Float 'n' sip

Michael said he saw so many more catamarans on this trip.  They seem to be very popular.

Shark!

Jack took our GoPro and got some cool underwater photos and videos.

The 2022 graduates

On Anegada, they rented scooters.

Jack wiped out on his scooter.  He was fine with a few scrapes and bruises.  I just about had a heart attack when Michael texted "Jack was in a motorcycle accident" with no other details.  Thank goodness all was ok!

Near the end of the trip, Jack got sick and they decided to spend the last night back at the Moorings hotel.  So Michael and Jack had some downtime in town while the rest of the guys finished up the voyage. They all met back up for the final night on the boat.

Dan, Michael and Jack ended up flying out a little early because they got to the Tortola airport early.  They were the only passengers on the plane, along with the pilot.  

Goodbye to Tortola and the BVI!
