I learned the basics of sailing on a week-long sailing trip in the British Virgin Islands aboard a 48-foot catamaran we called Millenium Falcon.

We moored off the coast of Virgin Gorda and Saba Rock. President Obama was wind surfing at neighboring Necker Island as a guest of Richard Branson.

Last day - February 4
Sailing through Tatch Island Cut during the race. We stopped racing because the wind died and we needed to return the charter boat on time.

The rest of my boat’s crew.

We saw lots of nice houses built on cliffs.
