Cruising notesFrom Wickhams Cay II you can still cast off and head to all the favorite BVI hot spots.
Norman IslandLegendary pirates and buried treasure… Norman Island is a highlight in the BVI. Said to have inspired the story of Treasure Island, it's here you'll find the famous Caves – a top snorkeling spot at the mouth of the Bight. North of Norman also lie The Pelicans and The Indians, tall skinny rocks sticking up out of the water, that are a main attraction for a huge variety of undersea life. The Bight to the West of Norman Island is a safe, sheltered anchorage. Dine and dance and get into the party games on board the 1915 converted Willy T topsail schooner.
Virgin Gorda
Swim or snorkel at The Baths, a unique rock formation with a myriad of secret pools and caves where you can take the cool walk through the tunnels to Devil's Bay where surf is sometimes ideal for body boarding or surfing. Visit the famous Bitter End Yacht Club in North Sound or head for Spanish Town - a popular stop-over and the center of shopping and sailing activity on the southwest side of the island.
Jost Van DykeNamed after a Dutch pirate, this is a hilly island of perfect anchorages and sandy beaches. White Bay is a yachting favorite. The Painkiller cocktail originated here at The Soggy Dollar Bar which got its name through people diving off their boats, swimming ashore and hanging up their wet dollars to dry and pay for their drinks. There are hammocks and places to relax for the day. In the evening, head to infamous Foxy's for great food and live music and entertainment.
Just offshore from Jost Van Dyke you can have fun on the desert island of Sandy Spit or opt for superb snorkeling at Green Cay reef.
Peter Island
The largest in the group between Virgin Gorda and St John, Peter Island has three very good anchorages and a marina. Sprat Bay has 20 berths and some mooring buoys available.
Anegada
Known as The Drowned Island this wildlife sanctuary is a refuge for colonies of flamingos, herons and ospreys. It's also home to the endangered rock iguana, which can grow to five feet long. It's well worth the careful navigation through the reef and age-old shipwrecks to reach the endless fine white sand beaches for a cast-away experience.
