British Virgin Islands
Alright, I know that there aren't any dunes in the Virgin Islands.
But there is a lot of sand. And I wanted to test out my
SPOT Satellite Messenger
and couldn't think of a much cooler place to use the "Check-In" feature to keep
family and friends up to date with our whereabouts.

The SPOT performed flawlessly while on the trip and it was a great way for
everyone to follow along as we sailed around the British Virgin Islands. Our
"vehicle" for the trip was the 41 foot Lagoon Catamaran "Big
KaHanna".
Here are the check-in messages I sent:
