Welcome! Tally ho!
Our B.V.I. Adventure is designed to give our family, friends and any other interested followers a look into the life of two expatriates making their way on the island of Tortola. Tortola is the largest island in the British Virgin Islands.
So, why did we move 2,000 miles away from our home in Knoxville, Tennessee? Michael accepted a position as the director of retail and international sales for a Caribbean clothing brand.
Cheers!

The Cure for the Common Cold: Wakeboarding
So after nearly two weeks of sniffling and sneezing, coughing and wheezing, Michael and I ventured out for a day on the water. It was exactly what we needed to get over this sickness that's been ailing us lately.
Michael wasn't sure he was going to feel like wakeboarding, but once we were out there, he got right up. He even attempted to "high-five" a mooring ball with the board. (Look for it about 40 seconds in...)
Louise and I went for a swim while the guys took another round on the wakeboard. This is James catching some air:
And Graham with a hand grab:
We ended with lunch on Cooper Island, which was delightful as always. Thanks to Louise and Richard for another great day on the water! A day in the sun and saltwater was definitely the best way to get rid of the cold that wouldn't go away!

Sunday Part 2: Wakeboarding!
In the afternoon we accepted the kind invitation from our new friends, Louise and Richard to join them for an afternoon of wakeboarding! Michael loves this sport and until now, he hasn't had the opportunity in the BVI. Louise and Richard, both from England, have lived in the BVI going on three years now, but just recently started wakeboarding. You wouldn't know it though - just watch them go! First up? Louise!
Michael picked it back up as if no time had passed from his days on Lake Holiday...
This next shot is the only one I caught of any of the wakeboarders in mid-air! This was actually the last run of the day - Richard finished strong!
Oh, and you might be wondering - where are the photos of yours truly weaving in and out of the waves? Unfortunately there are none. There are several embarrasing videos of me attempting to wakeboard. I did manage to get up two of the seven attempts, but it was short-lived. Maybe next time?
Here's one last shot...love the sun in this one. That's Michael on the board.
