Benure's Bay on Norman Island has become our go-to place to unwind after the intense work of getting Megerin ready to sail again. We love Nanny Cay and it is so interesting to watch all of the activity there-everyone is going somewhere or coming back from somewhere, people are climbing masts and polishing hulls, and spending money - usually lots of it. So we have been here for four nights now doing not much of anything whenever we please and not spending a dime. It is a secure bay with crystal clear water, no beach bars and good AT&T connection. With food and drink in the fridge along with excellent weather it has been a happy place. Today, on to Peter Island.

| Flying Steeler colors in the BVI. Across the water is the island of Tortola which takes 1-1&1/2 hrs for us to sail to. The lights are beautiful from here at night. |

| While snorkeling yesterday we saw this beautiful fish under a rock but didn't know what it was. Looking it up on the internet I identified it as a lionfish, a venomous invasive fish that could cause disaster to the reefs as it is multiplying so rapidly it is killing small reef fish. People are told if they see any to spear and kill it until they figure out a way to get rid of them on a larger scale. Evidently they escaped from an aquarium in Florida in the "90's during a hurricane. |

| We saw this spooky guy yesterday and identified it as a file fish. About 18 inches long. We usually snorkel reefs close to shore thus see only smaller fish - fine with me, I'm a sissy snorkeler. |
