After many years of dreaming about it, Michele and I along with David and Sylvie enrolled in a sailing course in Tortola, British Virgin Islands and were certified for USS Basic Keel Boat, USS Basic Cruising, and USS Bareboat Cruising. The course was offered by Offshore Sailing and consisted of 2 days of sailing aboard a 26' Colgate punctuated each day with academic sessions. Then we moved onto a 43.4' Beneteau for 5 days of day sailing amongst the islands. The weather conditions were perfect (as usual for the area) and we had a great time learning the basic art of sailing under the tuteledge of Daniel Duggan-Jones (ex South Africa). Michele and I stayed another 3 days at the Long Bay Beach Resort where we snorkeled and limed. See more photos on the Picasa site (Tortola 2010)
