"We're Yachting" Part IV

The most amazing thing we did on our trip was go to Virgin Gorda and visit The Baths.   This is WAYYYYY pic overload bc it was just so cool!  Enjoy!

 Pulling into the marina
 The captain arranged our transportation to The Baths.....lol 
 all piled in!
 Jason and Chels
 Hubs and I
 Debbie and Eric
 Captain, Ronda and Kelly
 It was about a 5 min drive from the marina and here is where we got dropped off.
 Chickens were everywhere lol
 It was a 350ft walk to the beach and Chelsea lead the way!
 Welcome to The Baths!
Copied from Wikipedia is the best way to describe The Baths:  At "The Baths", the beach shows evidence of the island's volcanic origins, which deposited granite that eroded into piles of boulders on the beach.[1] The boulders form natural tidal pools, tunnels, arches and scenic grottoes that are open to the sea. [2] The largest boulders are about 40 feet (12 m) long.


 These rocks aren't even the huge ones......just wait and see....

 BFFs on the rocks
 THEY'RE
 SO
 STRONG!!!!!
 Cone leading the way....through that tiny little opening
 Here we go! 
 navigating our way through the boulders; not gonna lie, it was a bit claustrophobic in there.....
 a little grotto
 Danny and Jason
 See how high they were!  It was crazy!



 Happy we're almost to the water!
 woohoo!  We made it!
 GORGEOUS!!!!!
 Jason's little head poking out lol
 We missed Ambs SO MUCH!!!!!


 On the way back there was this perfect little nook for Chelsea to sit in....I said "Jason lift her up there"
 He did...then her shoe fell off and he had to go down under the rock to find it!  LOL
 Who needs a bottle opener?!
 The Bougainvilleas were so pretty!
 After we hiked back up the 350 ft we at ate this cute little restaurant called "Top of the Baths"
Walking back to the marina....There's the Vitesse!

The Baths were the coolest thing I have EVER seen!  SO GLAD we were able to see them!   Here's a video I found that shows you what we walked through. 

Ok, yall I promise, there's only 1 more short vacay post!
