We all were sad to say goodbye to one of our favorite places on earth. But when the afternoon had come, and we had to head south. With the help of some westerly winds, we reached 8 knots heading for the North Sound, Virgin Gorda (named by Columbus, the “Fat Virgin”).
This is home to the Bitter End Yacht Club, a regular stop on our sailing trips. It was a time to provision the boat at the Emporium (crackers cost almost $7! And 1 gallon of water was $5), although because of Christmas in July (a Puerto Rican holiday), much of the stock was depleted (all those PR guests can eat!). Instead, the kids took a dip in the pool, and some of the adults had freshwater showers. You have to love this place.
