Virgin Gorda, BVI’s

Bound for Virgin Gorda, BVIs we left Bequia setting our sails to head NNW, switching out after a 2 hour shift. We had a good sail all the way spotting some dolphins and a few cruise ships along the way. Pretty quite and relaxing with good winds & no seasickness! We all had a good time on the passage.

Just short of 3 days we spotted land and headed through the reef, past Saba Rock and the Bitter End Yacht club to clear in at Gun Creek, BVI’s.  It was great arriving mid day into North Sound, Virgin Gorda with all the yachts and super yachts in the bay around Bitter End Yacht club.

We anchored in Leverick Bay and in front of us was S/V Chinook Arch from Edmonton, Alberta relatives of friends of ours. We were all eager to hit land and have a few libations while watching the local pirate show, Michael Bean. To Virgin Gorda 063aTo Virgin Gorda 064a

By driving around Virgin Gorda we noticed a beautiful white sandy beach, Sevannah Bay with crystal clear waters, which was protected by a reef so headed there for some seclusion. It was beautiful.
