Ep 135 Are The British Virgin Islands Up and Running? Part 2

In our long-delayed Part 2 of our tour of the British Virgin Islands, we again ask the question, “Are the BVIs ready for your planned charter or land-based vacation holiday?” To find the answer, you’ll have to jump into this episode and see for yourself.

We sail up from Tortola around the west side of Virgin Gorda, entering North Gorda Sound near Drakes Anchorage and Leverick Bay, then have a fast, fun rip across the sound as we beat up to Saba Rock Resort. We spend several days here on a mooring ball, sampling the food and sights at both Saba Rock, and then the newly rebuilt and reopened Bitter End Yacht Club and Resort.

Following that, it’s an early morning run back around to the “Baths”. The Baths are a constant draw and one of the true wonders of the BVIs. In something of a geological anomaly, huge rounded granite boulders replace the normal rough volcanic terrain, allowing for a challenging hiking trail with ladders and shallow pools, along with some of the best snorkeling on the planet. It’s a natural saltwater aquarium, filled with every manner of fish, turtles, starfish, eels, and you name it. And we captured some great footage of it all.
