Rendevouz Bay
We anchored in a beautiful bay with one lonely house on it. The bay was also a local dive site so we took off in the afternoon to do some snorkelling. The underwater terrain was similar to Saba's volcanic sea floor and very interesting. I wanted to try out the diving but due to the weather we had to leave Montserrat earlier than expected. That evening we had a surprise visit from a yachtsman called Glen and two of his friends Anne and Cal. He was sailing his Catamaran called 'Rocketeer' to Guadeloupe and called in to the anchorage for the night. They invited us over for drinks that evening. The Catamaran was huge with a big open lounge and it was much more stable in the swell than our yacht. Going to another yacht for drinks sounds easy but not in the dark holding a torch and a bottle of wine in a rolling ocean. All my pants got wet getting in and out of our dinghy. Luckily I managed to hold on to the wine which was the most important bit. We really enjoyed chatting to Glen and his crew that night.
