After snorkeling at the great Diamond Reef, we moved on to Little Jost Van Dyke to stay overnight. It was a pretty trip over to LJVD island.
Here is a sailboat sailing (although still raising the boom sail). Joran explained which directions the wind needed to be blowing to use our sail. Normally, we used power instead of sailing. But when the water got too choppy, he would raise the sail for stability.

We made it – and here is our view once anchored.

There was a pretty little island (more like a bump out of a sandbar) out here that we didn’t anchor next to. The water and sand looked so pretty! In the end, a few boats anchored around it. We were more into the bay.

For dinner, Casey made an interesting stew with grouper on top. It was delicious!

At night, many boats turned on their colorful “water lights”. We sometimes did that, too. Here is what it looks like. It does look neat when you see a lot of different colors out on the water.


The next morning, we had a classic “American” breakfast. Of course, it’s jazzed up with avocado and a fruit. We also had iced mocha coffee drinks for breakfast. It was just too hot to drink hot coffee!
