oin German Village neighbors, Gary, Tom, Erica, and Keith, plus former residents Diana and Mark, as they sail around the British Virgin Islands on the catamaran "Gambit".
SAINT THOMAS ISLAND
We started in St. Thomas, relaxing for a couple of days, and touring the island. Here we are, enjoying the view from the second highest mountain on the island, above Magens Bay, while drinking the locally renowned “World Famous Banana Daiquiris”.
Diana and Mark strolling in Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas Island.
TORTOLA
We quickly settled into living aboard a catamaran, and highly recommend this type of vacation to anyone who loves new adventures and does not mind having the ocean dictate the course each day.

We enjoyed being greeted by some Queen’s Wreath, on the same hike.

THE SOUTHERN CROSS
Keith, Erica, and Tom got up at 3:30am one morning, to see the Southern Cross. The constellation can only be seen at certain times and specific location in the Northern Hemisphere.
From Erica:
The picture doesn’t do it justice. It was breathtaking. The two bright stars to the left of the cross are called the Pointers.
