Episode 22 - The British Virgin Islands
In this episode we spend 16 days sailing in the British Virgin Islands. We had two sets of crew and sailed a couple of days just Jai and I.
Our itinerary was a typical charter itinerary, but we anchored more times than I ever have before in the BVIs. I've always thought of BVI as being full of mooring fields, but there still are quite anchoring spots available.
We snorkeled; shopped, ate and drank on shore; and even did some sailing.
I had the pleasure of running into the Sailing Virgins, if you like sailing please check out their YouTube channel: @SailingVirgins
Our boat, Amnesia, is in charter with TMM Yacht Charters in Road Town, Tortola. If you'd like to charter her contact TMM, or contact me for a discount.
I hope you enjoy this brief view of the BVIs.
BVI Beyond Irma - Part 5
On the last night before leaving, I caught with two good friends, Alton Bertie and Birch “DJ Bertrum” Lettsome to talk about their experiences and our vision for the future BVI. In the midst of all the destruction there are fresh opportunities being unearthed, but we have to work together as ONE BVI to succeed.

The BVI Beyond Irma series seeks to chronicle our recovery journey from the perspective of people on the ground and those with deep connections to the islands. The stories you may not hear on mainstream media. This footage is from my first visit home post-Irma in November 2017, with some more recent updates sprinkled in the mix.
Thanks to all the people/groups working hard to share the BVI and Puerto Rico story. Together we can help our islands rebuild and improve.
To join the movement please visit the non-profit organisation One Love BVI (onelovebvi.org) and connect with me via twitter @dalanv
Thanks for your support. #BVIStrong

Virgin Gorda is the third-largest (after Tortola and Anegada) and second most populous of the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Located at about 18 degrees, 48 minutes North, and 64 degrees, 30 minutes West, it covers an area of about 8 square miles (21 km2). Christopher Columbus is said to have named the island The Fat Virgin, because the island's profile on the horizon looks like a fat woman lying on her side.
The main commercial and residential area is Spanish Town on the southwestern part of the island.
An unusual geologic formation known as The Baths located on the southern end of the island makes Virgin Gorda one of the BVI's major tourist destinations. At The Baths, in spite of evidence of the island's largely volcanic origins, huge granite boulders lie in piles on the beach, forming scenic grottoes that are open to the sea. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, thus not volcanic. It did form from magma, however, at great depth. Granite becomes exposed at surface only after geologic ages of erosion removes the overburden. Further erosion broke the granite into large boulders and rounded their surfaces. North of the Baths is the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor, formerly owned by Little Dix Bay. The most notable ruin on Virgin Gorda is the old Copper Mine.
One of the great harbors of the world, North Sound, and historically Gorda Sound, lies at the northeast end of the island. It is bordered by four islands and connecting reef systems that keep the sound calm, creating one of the world's great watersports meccas, with over 3,000 acres (1,200 hectares) of protected waters. At the eastern end of the sound is the premier anchorage, in the lee of Biras Hill (el. 435'). The village, resort, and marina at this point (Jon'O'Point) is called the Bitter End Yacht Club, and runs for approximately one mile of coastline.
The sound is a famous destination for charter yachts and contains over 130 moorings. Nearly all of the 200'+ megayachts of the world have anchored or tied up at the docks of the megayacht-equipped marinas in this harbor. Norman Rockwell, Brigitte Bardot and John Wayne's signatures are in the hotel guest book from Bitter End circa 1969.
Historically renowned as well, the anchorage off Bitter End was the site of Sir Francis Drake and Sir John Hawkins' 1595 fleet rendezvous, two Elizabethan British admirals who led Britain's ascendance into naval supremacy. Twenty-six ships anchored in the sound and used the large hill at Bitter End to practice for their attack on San Juan, to wrest Puerto Rico from Spain. With both admirals dying on the 1595/1596 voyage, the land at Bitter End may be the last place that these legendary mariners set foot on British soil.
