Day 1 – Departing the dock and Norman Island.

Elkhorn Coral at the Sandy Ledges in Privateer Cove, Norman Island

Finally, after provisioning the vessel and attending to some minor issues, we left the dock at Road Town around 14:00. We got some wonderful sailing in, arriving at Privateer Bay on Norman Island around 16:30. There was a turtle hanging around at the mooring ball when we arrived! We grabbed some snacks then hit the water for a fantastic, shallow SCUBA dive at the Sandy Ledges. Lots of interesting critters including lobster, brittle starfish, and beautiful coral! We finished the evening off watching Captain Ron on deck and watching the tarpon feed in the light off of the back of the boat!
