Some time for exploring was had when we first arrived at Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. We went to a place called The Baths, and as you can see, is a great place to explore. This was the same day that Josh rocked up for the BVI regatta, so I was in a pretty happy place!
Here's a link to the Superyacht Regatta that we did do while we were here, there's photos and stuff that we are in if you have the time to look for it.
The Goat Track is not really a secret, not in the Antiguan sailing circle at least. But it is still a nice little place to go to get away from rot of the Mongoose or Cloggy's. Some parts of it reminds me of a Dr. Seuss book, so in a way it does feel like a little secret land.
A few weeks ago, in fact just before we left Antigua, we went up there for some sundowners and chill out time.

Probably the most played band of the season during times like this, so smooth and chilled.

We used to have this mammoth "windsurfer" under the house. Dad picked it up at some place he was painting years ago, it then spent about 5 years in the backyard, vines growing over it and everything, then one day, when I was about 14 we decided to give it a spin. So down we went to the beach at Shorncliffe, in between the Pier and the Groyne. I think it was windy.... actually not sure, but that is only a minor detail. I remember Heerey and Gyles were there and they had their own version of this Wally. Mine was better though as it looked more like an oil tanker. We were pretty useless at it and the abundance of jellyfish in the water did make it quite unpleasant at times, but we had fun, and the next day did it all over again.
There was a sticker on the back of the board, an old Goodtime sticker of a windsurfer jumping off a wave and the caption of: "Put it into orbit". It became a joke amongst us, as it is theoretically, practically and obviously impossible to get this ship anywhere off the surface of the water, let alone up above the stratosphere and into space!
A few weeks ago in Antigua, we went Zorbing, it was pretty fun, even if it was a bit of a backyard set up, we then hit up this place called Coco Bay, for afternoon tapas and sunset mojito's.
Both stories have very little in common, but I had a lot of fun doing both.

The operators son, cool kid, but annoying.

This is actually the end of the safety line they attach to the zorb.
