Turns out we decided to cruise past Ginger Island, Fallen Jerusalem, Virgin Gorda, Mosquito Island, Prickly Pear Island, and stop for lunch at Necker Island. We anchored off Necker is the most pristine and blue water I have ever seen. Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Airlines and Virgin Records owns this island. He gets $25,000 a week to rent out a cottage on it and has a full time staff of 60 people to maintain it! Needless to say, we did not go on land but we anchored for lunch and were soon joined by a very hungary Barracuda! I will post a video of Fred spoon feeding him! I took awhile for him to warm up to us, but 'Barrawoody', as we named him, warmed up to Fred pretty fast. He was like having a garbage disposal. He ate all of our scraps and leftover lamb bones and we even gave him a couple of our precious shrimp we were preparing for dinner that night! By far the prettiest stop on the trip! After lunch we cruised all the way back through the Sir Francis Drake Channel to Norman Island where we stopped for the night. There was great snorkeling near some caves and we did make it to the infamous Willy T's. It's a bar and a restaurant on a boat. I guess it gets pretty wild here during the busy season! This was our last night!! The next morning we knew we were supposed to get the boat back to the Marina by 10am, but by now we are on island time! So we dragged our heels a bit. We cruised over to see the East End of St. John then went back to Peter Island to make some lunch before taking the boat back.
