Avast ye land lovers, for there be treasure in them waters... - Tortola

We have all seen the oh so cheesy adverts on TV beckoning people to come to the carribean, the golden sands, the bluer than blue waters,the couple holding hands and a small child with an overly exagerated smile placed on his or her face. Me being the sceptic that I am wrote this off as a cleverly orchastrated advertsing strategy surely it cant be this beautiful? I was wrong. I set off to the BVI to stay with a friend from back home who has taken residence as a skipper on the open seas.
