Saba Rock, BVI

On our way through Sir Francis Drake channel, this cruise ship passed right in front of us. It was actually much closer than the picture shows...about 1/2 mile away. We had to alter course, as we were heading for each other. Someone once told me that size does matter...maybe this is what she was talking about.

Here's a picture of an island we anchored near...Saba Rock. It is in the NW corner of North Sound, Virgin Gorda.

This is some of the fruit on some kind of palm trees on Saba Rock. The variety of plant life including the trees is so different than what I'm used to in MT and WA. It truly drives me "nuts" to not know what the variety of tree and shrubs we see. At least I know what a coconut palm looks like...I can spot them a mile away!

Here's a shot of the inside of the open-air restaurant on Saba Rock. There were so many different museum quality items on display...antique outboard motors, old fuel pumps, old photos and gas station signs, a small hydroplane used for local racing...

There were probably 30 different motors on display in the restaurant and the gift shop.

Here's one of the people riding small sailboards being pulled along with a parachute. Paraboarding? Anyway, there were about 5 of them gliding around in the area west of the restaurant, doing aerials and flying around...Our son Cody is really missing some fun here! He just can't seem to give up snowboard season right now.

Adults only look below:
