Just a few more days until we depart. One change in our plans was the unfortunate news that one of the couples that was joining us had a family emergency and had to cancel the trip. We are down to the four of us on the Aquila, but we both own boats and shouldn't have any issues. Our shipmates have a 57' McKinna, so the 43' catamaran might seem small to them.
I will update the thread with lots of pictures of the adventure as we cruise through the BVI.
Yes I didn’t have any problems operating the Aquila. Twin Volvos in each one of the hulls. With a 24’ beam it is really stable and I found it has been very maneuverable at low/idle speed. It’s odd to me that cruising speed has the engines a little over 3k RPM around 15 knots.
We went to both The Soggy Dollar and Hendo’s Hideout. I thought the painkillers were better at SD. The food was really good at Hendo’s. The fun part is watching people coming ashore on their dinghies in the little surf. Pure comedy at times.
Foxy apparently plays live on the weekends. They had a DJ last night. Here is the building from our boat this morning. I think it is completely rebuilt.
