Jan 3-6/14. We left Anagada and headed back toward the north shore of Tortola. The winds were not as strong on our sail, so we did only 5-6 knots, taking about 3.5 hours to get to Lee Bay on Great Camanoe island. This is a tiny bay and has no mooring balls. We anchored along with only 4 other boats. What a pleasant change after being surrounded by boats at Anagada. The peaceful evenings were also a welcome change (no rave party boats playing loud music til 2am). I paddled ashore with Charlie. There isn’t much sand here, mainly large rounded rocks. He did enjoy a bit of ball chasing into and out of the water and waves. The snorkling wasn’t great as the water was quite cloudy. We did enjoy watching the waves round the point and crash on shore to create a blow hole. The stars were pretty magnificent as well. The highlight was having a mama and baby dolphin swim into the bay while Paul and Charlie were on shore. I watched these two play around the boat for a full five minutes, when it dawned on me to get my camera. I got only one snap before they departed. Shortly after that I spotted a young sea turtle swimming near.
On our last evening here, Paul got out the heavy duty flashlight and shone it on the water. We had quite a show. Large fish, I think are Tarpons, were very attracted to the light. It was our evening entertainment.
We stayed for two days, made water and washed sheets. We would have stayed longer, but the winds picked up on day 3 and our anchor dragged. We took it as a sign to move on. We definitely recommend Lee Bay for anyone wanting to get away from the tourism here in the BVI.
