Virgin Gorda

So after some brief rain squalls headed out from road town harbour,  tortola, for the Sir Francis Drake Passage, tacking between the channel islands (Salt, Copper and Ginger islands) to Spanishtown on Virgin Gorda, our last island before heading to Anguilla. we explored Spanishtown and watched the semi-finals at the bath and turtle. On Sunday morning headed up to North Gorda Sound, a protected area of water between the islands of Mosquito, Prickly Pear and Virgin Gorda. After a few issues bringing up the anchor we had a lovely sail up the west coast of Virgin Gorda before tacking into the North Gorda sound.  Once in the Sound  we took up a mooring for a couple of nights right in front of the scenic island resort of Saba and just a quick row away from the infamous Bitter End yacht Club. Will be watching the quarter finals of the world cup on tuesday, before heading off across the Anegada passage to Anguilla and St Martin, which will mark our official entrance into the Leeward Islands.
