Swim Trek BVI 2015 was a blast! It all began on Virgin Gorda - here is a map of the swims as they are marked with a black sharpie on Bruce's shirt (one of our swim buddies that purchased the shirt many years ago on a sailing trip). We literally swam island to island throughout the British Virgin Islands.
But what exactly is Swim Trek? It is an amazing adventure company that offers swim trips all over the world. What is a swim trip? When a group of people who love open water swimming decide to spend a week together swimming in exotic surroundings...or, as Capt. Mike explains it...a group of people pay good money to get out of a perfectly good boat and physically challenge themselves by swimming all over the place.
Tracee, Alan, Clive, Bruce, Ricky's Butt, Miranda, and Captain Mike aboard our dive/swim support boat - Ms. Lavelle
All Vaselined and ready to swim!
Tracee always has something to add to a swim! Michael seems impressed.
Today's swims went along the coast of Virgin Gorda:
Swim #1 - departed from Leverick Bay and went along the North Side to Cow Bay passing Anguilla Point and Mosquito Island.
Swim #2 - swam along the West coast of Prickly Pear Island
Swim #3 - along the coast to the Bitter End Yacht Club
Total swim distance was 4+ miles
Ahhh...a needed break at the Bitter End Yacht Club.
At Capt. Mike's dive shop - Bitter End Yacht Club, Virgin Gorda, BVI. You can see Ricky's back and part of Kelly - they were our swim guides for the week. Swim Trek provided amazing guides - Ricky and Kelly are accomplished swimmers, excellent coaches, safety conscious, amazing chefs, and all around great people - it was a real pleasure getting to know them. Excellent guides make for excellent trips - Kelly and Ricky exceeded our expectations.
