ep67 - Sailing Tortola – Sailing BVI - Parasailor Spinnaker - Hallberg-Rassy 54 Cloudy Bay –Mar 2019

Flying our ISTEC Parasailor spinnaker for the first time, as we sail downwind from Virgin Gorda to Tortola, BVI. Then tour the island along with the drone.

As we sail west to Tortola, the wind is perfect to try our new ISTEC Parasailor spinnaker (228sqm), which Oana managed to find for sale on the internet. We are a bit nervous, but all goes well for a first sail. Not so with the drone, which was not cooperating and used up one of its nine-lives when we try to fly it!
After snuffling the Parasailor, we make a lunch stop at Sandy Cay, next to Jost Van Dyke Island, then anchor in Cane Garden Bay and have an evening sunset stroll on the beach.
Next day we move onto a mooring in Sopers Hole and tour all around Tortola in a rental car.
