    May 1, 2016 Lazy Bones Update: British Virgin Islands (BVI’s), U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico Our last update left off with us setting sail on March 14th from St Maarten, the most northerly of the Leeward Islands, to the British Virgin Islands (BVI’s). Our destination was the island of Virgin Gorda, 84 miles northwest. We left St. Maarten at 5:30 AM and experienced rain squalls most of the day, but we averaged over eight knots and even hit 10.2 knots! We arrived at Virgin Gorda North Sound at 3:30 PM and anchored off Prickly Pear Island. The next morning we took the dinghy across the sound to Gun Creek and cleared in with customs. We came back to Lazy Bones and motor-sailed over to the Bitter End Yacht Club (BEYC), anchored outside the mooring field, and went ashore for lunch. The BEYC is a unique nautical resort that caters to all yachtsmen. They have a small marina, several restaurants, friendly bars, a small grocery store, bungalows, Wi-Fi, a pool, and much more. It’s a great place to hang out, have some drinks, and enjoy a nice meal. At 4:30 we took the dinghy over to Saba Rock for happy hour. This tiny island was owned by Bert Kilbride, a big enthusiast for SCUBA diving, back in the fifties. In the sixties Bert opened the Pirates Pub, set up a few moorings, and Saba Rock became the local sailors’ hangout. In 1997, he sold out to a developer who built an amazing resort on this tiny piece of rock.

I joined PYC in the spring of 2006, and Marilyn and I have lived on the grounds since the spring of 2009. People still ask me occasionally if I still like living here. Yes! We do! The last few years we have seen many people have a vision and set out to see it completed. Others have come along beside them and teams, committees and work parties formed. Trails were cut, bridges were built, several docks were put together and floated and one rose out of the mud to hold most of the dinghies used by the youth. Our Youth Sailing program was forged out of nothing by one man’s dream and handed off to another.

  • The British Virgin Islands
    08_596640 ch05.qxd 8/12/05 1:48 PM Page 157 5 The British Virgin Islands The British Virgin Islands embrace 40-odd islands, some no more than just rocks or spits of land in the sea. Only three of the islands are of any significant size: Virgin Gorda (Fat Virgin), Tortola (Dove of Peace), and Jost Van Dyke. These craggy volcanic islands are just 15 minutes by air from St. Thomas; there is also regularly scheduled ferry service between St. Thomas and Tortola. With its small bays and hidden coves, once havens for pirates, the British Virgin Islands are among the world’s loveliest cruising areas. The islands attract those who like to sail, although landlubbers will delight in the beaches. Despite predictions that mass tourism will invade, the islands are still an escapist’s paradise. Norman Island is said to have been the prototype for Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Treasure Island. On Deadman Bay, Blackbeard reputedly marooned 15 pirates and a bottle of rum, giving rise to the well-known ditty. Even though they lie right near each other and are part of the same archipelago, the British Virgin Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands are as different as Julia Roberts and Dame Judi Dench. U.S. islands like St. Thomas are deep into mega-resort tourism, but in the B.V.I., the pace is much slower and laid-back, and the people seem more welcoming and friendlier. Even the capital, Tortola, seems to exist in a bit of a time capsule. Most of the resorts on Virgin Gorda are so isolated from each other that you’ll feel your hotel has the island to itself.
