British Virgin Islands, Moorings Bareboat May, 1984

I've got a new photo scanning application on my iphone. Below are some photos from a wonderful ten day bareboat trip with a Moorings Boat in 1984 with Greg and Chris Hoberg. To see more, please go to: https://photos.app.goo.gl/PgevEFh1392ko4Uq8
The underwater photographs were taken with my Nikonos IV uw camera purchased in 1982. Below: Gray Angelfish
Donna and I had a long encounter with a large Great Barracuda that was fascinated by my camera's shiny reflective strobe. Below:

Greg and I took our sailboat's skiff out to some offshore rocks and found a big shoal of baitfish with tarpon coming through to eat them. A great experience. Below:
Donna and I on our bareboat anchored off "The Baths" on the island of Virgin Gorda. I've got on my tshirt from our 1978 honeymoon on Cayman Brac. Below:
I got in some wind surfing, and also got Greg started with it, using a windsurfer that came with our boat. Below:
Late in the afternoon of our last day and night on our boat, Greg and I spotted a large spiny lobster but it was well positioned in a deep hole. Greg's shoulders were too large to get back into the hole to get a good grip on the lobster but I realized I could wriggle into it. Greg came down once I had time to get into the hole and grab the lobater in order to pull me out. We had a great lobster dinner. Below:
What a great trip we had!
