Today was another long day; I took care of delivering the super-special-and-impossible-to-get-oil for the VW Engine to a sistership at the docks at Nanny Cay (wonderful name, by the way); then checked out docks and finally paid one open bill to one of the dock contractors and then proceeded to Virgin Gorda in very light winds to clear out of the BVI. That procedure went very well and after visiting the future home of Lauren and Rob (the sailboat Southern Comfort) I subsequently sailed upwind to the North Sound in order to anchor off Leverick bay just in time to catch a couple of minutes of Michael Beans' show before the squalls hit and the show was postponed. I met up with Nick and Monika and Michael and met a number of new people at the Jumbies bar before retiring for the night.

Calm waters and almost no wind in the Sir Francis Drake channel meant I got to use the engine to motor dead upwind to Virgin Gorda from Nanny Cay in order to reach customs and immigration to clear out.

[18°23'53.83"N 64°38'9.87"W ]	This Jeanneau 57 was delivered a month before mine through the same dealer in Annapolis and is now docked at Nanny Cay in the BVI.

An Island Packet with an asymmetrical cruising chute heading downwind on a very light winded day in the Sir Francis Drake channel.

[f/5.0, 1/250s] ISO 100 Focus ∞)	The big red boat is the leading one (but probably not competing) in this small race of monos and cats on this very light winded day in the BVI.

[f/7.1, 1/200s] ISO 100 Focus ∞)	The boats sported a "BEYC Race Week" logo so I assume that they were all competing in this race, albeit some didn't have sails up but were keeping the same speed as the others on this very light winded day.
