Anchorage at Prickly Pear Island
Not our favourite place to stay, but we had better protection here. The weather was not very friendly for almost week. A lot of rain and wind. We stayed aboard the whole time so not much pics.
we didn’t like to leave the nice Pond Bay , but the swell got dangerous within an hour so we moved Prickly baysometimes the weather was not too badmost of the time it was rainy and windyour little Christmas tree cheered us up😉
Tortula
After checking out we had a stroll at Road Town.
