After making some banana nut muffins for breakfast this morning, I took the kayak out for a short spin around the harbor. There was no wind whatsoever so I really had no reason not to take it out. I had a fun time and as soon as I got back on board, Daniel was ready to head off to our next destination in the British Virgin Islands. Our first stop of the day was Cane Garden Bay where we dropped anchor and took D-Time to town. It is a small town but had lots of color. I saw a local policeman and asked for directions to a place that does blown glass. It was really neat to watch the guy create some things. After that we headed to the Callwood Rum Distillery. Now before anyone gets any ideas, it is a landmark. There was even a group of school kids there taking a tour. It was a stone plantation era building that still distills rum the same way it did over 200 years ago. It is the only place like it left in the Virgin Islands, so we toured. The tour consisted of looking at a bunch of old wooden drums and in a dark building. Didn't take me long to get bored. We left and headed back to D-Time.
After lunch, we set motor/sailing off to Virgin Gorda. We stopped at Savannah Bay and enjoyed our first run in with "bitch wings". An Aussie friend explained to us that when you pull into anchor and there are other boats already anchored and the women go stand on the front of their boat and put their hands on their hips, they make "bitch wings". They stare as you drop the anchor and scowl at you. Well, Daniel has dropped the anchor a time or two and since they were in a charter boat, I wasn't worried about our anchor drop at all. We promptly put on our snorkeling gear and headed to see the beautiful coral and a nice long walk on the beach. We just ignored the wing lady.
