Day 6 – Palm Tree Charters and the BVI’s!!!!!!

What can you say about a perfect day other than the fact that it was Perfect!!!!

Capt John Brandi picked us up at the dock a bit early, we hauled our stuff on board and away we went. On this trip were laxcat & her dh, msgcolleen and her dh, and Coden and her dh.

As we headed to Tortola to check into the BVI’s Capt. John told us the names of the beaches or islands as we passed them. He went in for maybe 10 mins, with our
our passports, came back out and we were free to go.

So away we went to the Indians and had a wonderful snorkel. When you go, make sure you snorkel close to the walls as that is where the goodies are. It is very deep there so stay close to the walls or all you’ll see is the deep blue sea. LOL

Next we headed to the Caves and oh my gosh, how cool was it to snorkel into the caves. When you lift your head up, while inside to look around, the walls inside are ringed in purple.

Then we went to the Willy T and had a great lunch. After that we were off again and went swimming somewhere, I forget where – sorry.

Next stop was Jost Van Dyke and the Soggy Dollar…awesome painkillers!!!!!! I personally could have
stayed there all day long.

Back on the Palma Bella and we headed back to STJ. Coming back into STJ we all had to leave the boat to go inside and go thru Customs. The USA TSA is silly. There, I said it, shoot me. LOL

Capt. John Brandi is by far the best boat captain I’ve met…his only wish for the day is that you have fun and that you are enjoying your vacation. He is a super nice guy and I know we are thankful to have met him.

Captain John is the bomb!! Saw a wonderful octopus in the second Cave who just hung out while took his picture! I like how each Cave was a little different from the next! Soggy Dollar is a great place to end the day and the view of St John is so wonderful! :D
