Let's do this!

 

 

Today's swim is a long one down the West Coast of Virgin Gorda from Mountain Point to Savannah Bay - 4+ kilometers.  Followed by relaxing at The Baths at the Southern Tip of Virgin Gorda.

 

Go O.J.'s!  The orange cap group heading off to be deposited in the warm Caribbean sea.  Thumbs up from his Lordship, Philip.

 

Clive hoses down Jill with fresh water

 

Swimming back to the boat in Savannah Bay

 

Our resident swimming stud and pack leader rises from Savannah Bay.  Susanne is training for the Catalina swim and man can that lady move through the water.  It is a joy to see somebody with that kind of talent swim.

 

Guide Kelly - another swimming machine!

 

Perfect toss of that oh so tasty H20 Tracee - did Katy get any before you chucked it on board?

 

Another swimming machine exits Savannah Bay.

 

Go Bruce Go!  That blue shirt is a give away.

 

Mr. New York - Alan - chatting with guide Kelly at The Baths on Virgin Gorda.  Alan is just about the nicest person any of us ever met from New York!  He kept us in stitches all week.

 

The Baths in Virgin Gorda are the perfect back drop for photo shoots - including our underwater swim analysis videos.  Thank you for the tips Ricky and Kelly - rotation, rotation, rotation.

 

De-briefing at The Baths

 

Who is that crazy group of people that arrived from the water in those crazy caps and swim suits?  Not your average tourist.

 

 

Pose Tracee.

 

No Tracee, pose like this - Ricky, our intrepid guide and pose master.

 

Our daring journey through the rock formations at The Baths.  Clive, Go Pro Tracee, and Guy lead the charge.

 

Why won't that guy get out of our pictures?

 

Tracee, Duke, and that guy.

 

After a nice afternoon being tourists, time to head back to the boat.  Of course, with Swim Trek, that means SWIM back to the boat.

 

Capt. Mike, Tracee, and the infamous mooring line - long story, but it translated into Capt. Mike being a sport and treating the boat to a case of beer and wine.

 

My Tracee and My Karima (the obscene yacht parked at our resort complete with helicopter and on board speed boat).  It only takes a crew of 14 including helicopter pilots to take it for a spin.

 

Time for the pirate show...our group hanging out listening to the crazy pirate performer that graces the bar at Leverick Bay resort.
