Tortola Diary part 1

After sorely missing it last year Tortola in the lovely British Virgin Islands was a sight for sore eyes. And....a cane Garden Bay session can be crossed of the bucket list now, even though I got throttled there, broke a leash, dinged the board, and had to swim back to the pier.

But let's focus on the positive, it was pumping the 1st day, fun the next 2, and small for the duration of the trip. Surf on all but one of the days, but good times all the time.
