From the rough chop at Sandy Cay we moved on to the relative protection of Cane Garden Bay on Tortola across the way for another round of pre-lunch drinks. That night we were back at The Moorings base for our final night on the islands. We traded our leftover provisions for a dinner recommendation from one of the dock hands and ended up at a local dive with excellent fresh fish and lobster, and plenty of drinks.

We may not have won the regatta, but it brought us to the Caribbean for a remarkable week of sailing and the most memorable bachelorette party a bride could want.
