Day 4

Our 4th day.  Today we had a rendezvous dive planned with Dive BVI.  They met us as planned and we headed to Cooper to dive Wreck Alley. My wife and I are getting our advanced certification and the other 3 were just diving so we were split in two groups. Dive was great as always and we then headed to vanishing rock. That dive was great too - lots of stuff going on there - saw a moray eel and tons of sergeant Majors!

When you gotta go, you gotta go!
After the dive, we got back and on the boat and Lance went to start it.  Nothing..  We troubleshot for a bit and eventually contact the main office and they spoke to someone at Cooper and they were going to come up to try to jump us.  Unfortunately for them, just as they got to us it started to down pour!  They got soaked and the jump didn't work.  So they headed back in and came back to tow us in with their larger boat.  We got towed in and we're assisted by a number of dinghy's helping push us into place on the dock.  Once docked, the charger got hooked up.  Our group headed to the restaurant as it was now lunch time.  We ordered for Lance and Sarah and they joined us once the boat was all set and the food arrived shortly after.  In the end, it was a fun time, we got an extra stop at Cooper and a nice lunch and had fun chatting with Lance and Sarah from Dive BVI.  After we ate, we headed back to the boat and they got us back to our boat at Marina Cay.  We got back around 3/3:30 - about 2 hours or so later than we planned, but it was a fun time!

Since we were running a bit late, we got everything stowed and headed to Leverick for the night. Motored to save time and got in around 5:30 and just docked at the end of the T dock. A little tricky with the windage on this boat and the wind pushing us off the dock, especially with no dock hands, but we got help from someone walking by and ended up getting tied up. Went in for some Bushwhackers, pizza and wings! Had a blast and were entertained by one of our crew members  After the food/drinks and entertainment we headed back to the boat to relax.  Not quite ready for bed, we made use of the 46" TV and watched the Pilot episode of the Americans.  Good show!
