JOST VAN DYKE
We let the authorities know our presence on the BVIs in the Great Harbour on Jost Van Dyke. We have been here thirty years ago, chartering a sailboat with Cheri and Ken Yazi.
Then already famous FOXY's was a small shad on the beach, sheltered with palm trees. A bar, on it's counter a baby, that needed changing and a German shepherd chasing a monkey. FOXY's had not changed it's simplicity and friendliness, but expended with a restaurant and a clothing store.

After a short stop on Little Jost Van Dyke and picturesque, but rolly Guana, we sailed to
VIRGIN GORDA
We anchored in a quiet Robin Bay in the North Sound, away from all the traffic and yet close to dinghy to more populated spots of this so popular Virgin Gorda area. Docking the dinghy somewhere safe, we walked to reach the views of both sides of the island

Bitter End and Saba Rock on the left

Bitter End is a polished place with a marina, beautifully paved walkways, restaurants and bars and a small store, where you can supply yourself with a bottle of wine, it you can affort it.
To stretch our legs we walked over the hill to another of many bays, Leverick Bay with a marina and resort

There is no public transportation on BVIs. We took a taxi to Spanish Town on the SW side of Virgin Gorda. Our starting point was Gun Creek Bay, the Port of Entry

The road from here runs along the shores and over the mountains, the views are breathtaking (and so is the ride).

Spanish Town, a small place, but with a nice marina, boat yard and a good grocery store.

On our walks we have seen many lived-in half built houses. New generation come, the owners will finish their home, needing a space
