It was a crazy windy night in Manchioneel Bay, the boat was spinning on the mooring all night. We had some rain showers in the morning but they were followed by a magnificent double rainbow.
Our home for the week.

Chocolate Extravaganza Fail
We ordered the Chocolate Extravaganza for dessert at the Cooper Island Beach Club. Parts were really good and parts were really bad, the chocolate quantity was a bit lacking, and we came up with a few alternate names for it:
Banana Nightmare, Going into the Danger Zone, Hot Mess and False Advertising.
Thanksgiving in the Islands
This is the way to go...no cooking, no stress, good friends and good food! Cooper Island Beach Club.

Snorkeling in Manchioneel Bay
After lunch we loaded our gear into the dinghy and headed over to the rocks to snorkel. John got in first and saw 4 barracuda while the rest of us were getting ready. We all saw lots of fish and coral and John got more great underwater footage with the GoPro. Some of our favorite sightings were the barracuda (we all saw them later), trumpetfish, blue tang, sea urchins, rainbow parrotfish, squirrelfish and some juvenile yellowtail damselfish.
Thanksgiving Day Sail
We sailed downwind today from North Sound, Virgin Gorda to Manchioneel Bay, Cooper Island. We all took turns at the helm and sped along, reaching speeds of up to 8.5 knots. We saw a three masted ship, a small cruise ship and a couple of cargo ships, we sailed through some rain, and we reached our destination right on schedule for lunch on the boat.
