British Virgin Islands

The attached photo is of me and my wife Christine Homsey sailing a 52 foot Beneteau Oceanis 523 in the Sir Francis Drake Channel just South of the island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. We are part of a group that every few years charters sailboats bareboat (we crew the boat ourselves) in different locations around the world. Possibly the best part of sailing is losing touch with the civilized world, although with three people bringing laptops aboard this trip and the proliferation of free wireless Internet at marinas these days, it's getting harder and harder to do.
