Judy and Ted, The Other Herlihys, are about to start another Virgin Island sailing adventure, while Andy, Liz, Mira and Peter (Herlihy Sailing at herlihy.me) work their way south to Grenada. We will not meet up with them this trip as they are long gone from the Virgin Islands. Currently they are spending Christmas sailing around Antigua.
This trip will be our 3rd extended stay in the VIs since Ted retired. We started with 4 wks, then 5 wks and this year 6 wks. Note the trend. What a place to hang for the nasty part of the winter. As you may glean from the crew list and boats (more on these in later posts), this adventure is not about racing but short sails with lots of time to swim, snorkel, hike and read. Of course the crew will insist upon go fast sail trim. We will be spending the majority of our 6 weeks in the British and US Virgin Islands and hope to get to a couple of the Spanish VIs and St Croix depending on the weather and mood of the crew.
In March we will be joined by the Richmond Herlihys (Dan, Alice, Charles and Will) on a charter from Grenada to meet up with Andy’s gang in the Grenadines.
We can be reached by email (tjher@comcast.net) that we will check when wifi is available. If we are in sight of the USVI our ATT phones may work.

Hi Peter We love reading about all of the adventures that you, Mira, and your parents are having. You have seen so many islands! And the frigate birds must have been really interesting.
David, the man from whom we chartered this boat, was born on Barbuda. He was happy that you liked it. His son is in fourth grade and likes soccer too.
There is not much wind today so we will snorkel and go for a hike.
Can’t wait until we see you in March!
Give Mira and your parents a hug for us.
Love Grammy and Papa
