Скачать или смотреть British Virgin Islands Sailing - Virgin Gorda, January 2020

It was Tuesday, January 21, 2020. We were glad looking back that we were able to go on this trip before COVID-19 screwed up everyone's sailing plans.

We left our mooring on Cooper Island and headed east towards Virgin Gorda. That is a common route in the BVI because most of the islands lay upwind of Tortola. You will spend the week motoring or sailing upwind to get to the next island.

We dropped our mooring at Cooper Island and planned to head to the Baths and spend the morning hiking around this amazing BVI National Park. We had a great hike and swim and then headed up to the North Sound of Virgin Gorda. We picked up a mooring ball at the Leverick Bay Marina and resort for the night.

We arrived on a Tuesday which meant that the Micheal Beans Pirate Show was starting about Happy hour. I called ahead a got us a reservation right down in front. We all dressed up in our best pirate attire and headed in for one of our best nights of the trip. So proud of this crew for letting their hair down a bit and having a little fun. We were all getting to know each other a little better and I was feeling very lucky to be sailing with this amazing group.

The next morning we stopped at the fuel dock and took on some water and ice before heading 15 miles North to Anegada.
