We woke up this morning to a very strange sound. Hundreds of tiny little "thumps!" against the hull. Looking outside we could see that there was a huge school of small silver fish and they were jumping all over the place, and our boat just happened to be in the middle of the mosh pit. This went on for a good five minutes, hopefully the fish weren't hurt, but that's what they get for listening to speed metal while swimming. We left Leverick Bay around 10:30 this morning and motored a few miles over to Spanish Town, which is the only place on the island of Virgin Gorda where we can check out with Customs and Immigration. We dinghied ashore and walked over to the customs building and were in and out of there in only a few minutes, so it was a pretty painless check out procedure with no bribes required (like we had to do in Luperon). Although the charge to clear out was $5.13. Not sure how they came up with that amount.
We picked up some diet coke at the grocery store (we'll need the caffeine for the night passage) and headed back to the boat to grab a quick nap. It's now 4pm and we are getting ready to leave. We should arrive in St. Martin (or Sint Maarten, as the Dutch side of the island is called) early Saturday morning.
