Cane_Garden_Bay.jpg (57044 bytes)     As we entered Cane Garden Bay, we encountered some strong wind and heavy rain.  There are several shallow reefs at the entrance that can make going into the bay tricky, even in good weather.  We did make it in without any problem.   Its interesting to note the in my previous trip here in 1984, we encountered the same type of weather going into the bay.

The next morning, we went back ashore and walked to the Callwood Distillery.  This is still a production distillery.

We had to buy a bottle of rum in order to be allowed to take these pictures.  How was the rum?  A little better than the distillery looks! (not much, though)

Later that morning, we sailed to Little Harbor on Jost van Dyke and stopped at "Sydney's Love & Peace".  Its a bar and tee shirt place.  A real "dive".  We left quickly.
