The Caulfeild Sea Cliffs
It's a good year for the apple tree.
Evening is a good time to visit.
You can make new friends but it may take time. This crew was stand-offish on the first encounter but waved at me on the second pass.
And after the sun goes down

Today began with clouds and rain but it cleared in the afternoon.
The evening was silvery rather than golden, but the traverse was almost all dry.
The man on the water appeared again.
He was headed away but turned around and came toward me. I thought he just wanted to say hi, but he had become concerned that I might be stranded.
So the question of SUP versus God incarnate is probably answered. The day held other questions, though.

In terms of climbing, it seems that back in the 1980s I was one of the early explorers of the British Virgin Islands. I took my wife (now ex-wife) to Virgin Gorda specifically to go bouldering. I had dislocated my left shoulder in a ski mountaineering accident just a few weeks before the trip, so unfortunately I wasn't in peak climbing shape at the time.

The "Baths"!. I remember that we were moored at Peter Island cursing out of Tortola.
I was, still in high school so it must have been 78-79.
The tours to the baths from some resort turned a corner just as I was lay backing up
and out a scoop, the sound of the snapping of shutters, got into my head & I dropped with a splash. The tour guide seemed to have never seen anyone climb there.
I was actually wreck diving, did you dive ? Did you go to the wreck of the Rone?
It was said that it was un- lucky for newly weds to dive on the Rone, it was the site of some of the scenes in the C Bisset N Noltey movie " The Deep". Which is how the word got out to some SoCal chick, who couldn't keep a secret,.,.,.,B+D, youth was not wasted on gnome.

Beautiful BVI visuals, Ledge Rat. I am sure I have seen some of them before.
Nice reminiscing, Gnome.

That hole might be one I vaguely remember a ways north of most of the climbing and bouldering at Juniper Point.
There is another zawn just barely north of Juniper Point but it doesn't look like the one you show. Oplopanax posted photos of it earlier in the thread:

Interesting idea to swim in and boulder out.
I usually stay out where I can be available to the public. From August when there was sun:
