First two days in the BVI

Finally the vacations!
Saturday we left Tortola tu get to Norman Island. Right to the north is Pelican Island, a tiny island with rocks around, I stopped and did a snorkel dive around. I saw lots of fish and could do pictures and videos. We then went to Norman Island see the caves at Privateer Bay where I did a second dive to try and find the treasure that the legend talks about, then we ate lunch in The Bight. Afterwards, in the afternoon, we sailed towards Peter Island to Deadman Bay for the night.
This morning we went to the next island to the east, Salt Island, and we stopped for a dive over the Rhones shipwreck. unfortunately, I couldn't dive at the bottom but the view from the top was impressive. We then sailed towards Virgin Gorda Island to visit "The Baths". These are huge rocks piled up making caves and baths under them. It's magnificient and because we were before the tourist season, it wasn't too crowded. It's normally the big tourist thing here. Right now we are anchored in Gorda Sound for a good dinner. Tomorrow we are going to Anegada!!
