We sailed from Road Town to the eastern end of Tortola and anchored in Fat Hog's Bay on December 29, only about six miles up the coast, but it was a hard, slow slog to windward. We've been taking hikes up into the hills; some of the roads seem to go straight up. We also figured out the bus system and took a bus ride into Road Town. There are a lot of goats in town; they seem to be the only way lawns get mowed around here. A group is working on the cemetery in town, and another group is lounging in the shade next to the video store, on the main road through town.
We'll be making a hop over to St. Martin when the weather cooperates, probably on Wednesday.
