Tortola!



TORTOLA! Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of Caribbean Islands, this was my favorite stop when I was on the Pearl. Now we're back on the repo? Pfft. Come on.

Sunglasses Club is 4 deep on the way to The Baths at Virgin Gorda.


Proof that we can be on the tour. Now Indiana Jones can't throw us off the back of the zeppelin.

Catching Z's on the ferry. Halfway through they put on the Oscar-nominated classic Snow Dogs, starring actual Oscar winner Cuba Gooding, Jr. Any time you can distract from the most beautiful scenery in the world with a movie about Cuba Gooding, Jr. inheriting a team of huskies, don't wait. Throw that switch.

We also invented the Snow Dogs drinking game. Drink every time Cuba Gooding, Jr. does something a city slicker would do that is out of place in Alaska. Do a shot every time a dog does something cute and human-like. Prepare to be hospitalized.

We arrive at Virgin Gorda. Now for the hike down to the beach.


Right for The Baths. Left for demon-infested bay. Hmm....

Caves mean we're almost there...


Almost there....


THERE! Woo-hoo!



Kate's celebrating.

Carisa's celebrating.

Celebrating!

Even I got in on the act.

Stupid McBeautiful.

Carisa agrees. We had a really early all-abroad, so we hot-footed back to the ship to the dulcet tones of Snow Dogs. We leave you with Andy's Safety Tip of the Day.

Always wear your mask. See you in New York!
